'Fan' review: Shah Rukh Khan at his finest in this dark, unconventional movie

'Fan' is a brave attempt by Maneesh Sharma. You have to watch it for stellar performance by Shah Rukh Khan
Fan 
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Waluscha de Sousa, Sayani Gupta
Director: Maneesh Sharma
Rating: 4/5


The thrill of the movie is watching Shah Rukh Khan trying to one up himself. It is Shah Rukh versus Shah Rukh.
Director Maneesh Sharma gives Khan a chance to be self-indulgent in a film that celebrates his Darr-Baazigar-Anjaam days. In a way, Sharma demands the superstar to surpass his previous hit roles. But Shah Rukh walks a tight rope, for he plays both an ageing superstar and a no-name nobody.
With his years of practice, SRK aces this role with ease. We see film stars making appearances at wedding parties or ready to do anything as long as they are getting paid. Aryan Khanna is no exception. He is humiliated in the process, but also understands the value of his stardom. Self-deprecating humour and honesty is what makes Aryan Khanna a character to watch out for.
"Fan" has been produced with a whopping budget of Rs 85 crore by Aditya Chopra under the banner Yash Raj Films and it has got brilliant production values. Vishal-Shekhar's songs, Andrea Guerra's background score and Manu Anand's cinematography are the biggest attractions on the technical front.
After watching the film, many viewers took to their Twitter handles to share their verdict on it. We bring you some unique Twitter comments. Here is the live update of the "Fan" movie review by the audience:

SRK the actor is back. @iamsrk loved Fan It's amazing From acting to screen play to direction to bgm to action scenes & locations everything is superb. have to admit now, you are god of acting. still can't believe that same actor played both roles aryan & GAURAV. after 1st half everyone was like what will happen in 2nd half. Everyone was discussing during interval. but it was opposite of what we thought. best second half . I don't how to describe the awesomeness of CLIMAX. Standing OVATION.

#Fan Interval: So enthralling. One of the most exciting plots in recent times comes to life through a stun show from SRK. Enjoying this. #Fan: Fantastic. Intriguing take on the rush of blood between a fan and his idol. Tense, fun and emotionally gripping too. Recommended! #Fan: Ideally SRK's best since Chak De India, he is absolutely spotless as the die hard fan Gaurav. 20 min sequence in FH and climax - wow! #Fan: May not please the entertainment junkie, but this is a brave step from SRK sans doubts. Try it, for this'll help you forgive Dilwale. #Fan: Loosely based on The Fan and The King of Comedy, with a shade of Vaali too. Yet, I'm already toying with the idea of seeing it again.

It's interval for #Fan & it is going very good so far. @iamsrk has given very good performance. #Fan is fantastic film & superb work by @iamsrk, it's vfx,screenplay are awasome & it has well designed action sequences. #Fan is a emotional film which dealt with relationship of a fan & starts & at climax you wil get all the answers, "Must Watch". #Fan has shaped up very well but it's becoz of only @iamsrk, Manish Sharma fail to show his talent,editing & cinematography is very well. #Fan is very outstanding & emotional film with terrific performance by @iamsrk, "a must watched film".My Ratings ****.

As a whole, Fan delivers what it promised in the trailers. Logic may not be its strong point, but Shah Rukh most definitely is; he’s back in his elements after a long time. Watch it for him.
