Product Description
Choices- to choose between right or wrong is simple, but what defines one's life is the decision between the greater of two goods or the lesser of two evils. This is the advice that Zooni Ali Beg (Kajol) receives from her father just as she is about to venture out into the world on her own for the very first time. Little does she know that these very words will shape her life. Zooni, a blind Kashmiri girl meets Rehan Qadri (Aamir Khan), a local tour guide and an incorrigible flirt who goes from city to city exploring their architecture as also the women. Her friends warn her against this good-for-nothing roadside-romeo, but she chooses to ignore them. She is not one to be protected. It is now her time to discover life, and love. Is this really the right choice? Rehan is fascinated by Zooni. He truly wants her to see life as it should be seen, in its many colours, and as he promises her, the time spent with him will be the most precious in all her life. Zooni sees Delhi, life and love like she never has before, because of Rehan. What Zooni doesn't know is that Rehan has another side of his life that he has kept from her, something that can not only change her life but can also destroy it.

I have a special regard for this movie, because I had the enormous luck to see it in the faboulous, incredibly ornate and atmospheric Raj Mandir theatre of Jaipur. Watching not just the film, but also the reactions of the audience -who were obviously enjoying the experience enormously and constantly and spontaneously expressing so- was a great delight.
"Fanaa" is a concept taken from mysticism. In the world of mystic poetry "fanaa" was the point at which the mystic's own sense of self was destroyed or anihilated by his/her union with God. We are talking deep religion here and, in this context, that someone uses this word as a title for a Bollywood film can even sound a bit like sacrilege. The concept is, though, brilliantly used by the writer and applied simply to "True Love" a rare event which, arguably, contains a spark of the divine, and that ordinary people can, ever so rarely -but not so much as mystic love-, experience in this life.
Zooni (Kajol) is a blind girl who has lived protected -and isolated- all her life by the love and warmth of her family, who have raised her like the fragile maiden princess of a fairy tale. When she must set out for the big city, Delhhi, and be appart from her parents for the first time, she jokes with them about the possibility of finding there "her prince". Big poetic irony -we, the audience, realize instantly. "And what shall I tell my prince when I find him?", Zooni asks her mother; "May my life be destroyed in your love!!!" answers the mother, quoting poetry.
And Zooni meets Rehan (Aamir Khan)whom nobody would take as a prince at first, or even second or third, sight. But Zooni, being blind, is not blinded by appearances, and soon recognizes the prince in Rehan...even though he is bent on proving otherwise.... Read more ›

I've tried to tire myself out by watching this movie over and over, but its still brilliant!!
The movie is humouros, sad, shocking, thrilling and much more!
Aamir Khan and Kajol have both done great in their come back roles.
This movie will move you.
The songs are great especailly 'Chand Sifarish' & 'mere haath mein' being personal favourites!

Although some people will think that Fanaa is a film with the same old formula of Indian films, of boy meets girl, its still a fantastic film.
What makes this film stand out is the fact that the story is original and has many twists in the plot, always keeping the viewer on edge.
Kajol is adorable as ever, and Aamir is as sexy as ever. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars, is because I would have liked Aamir's character to have more depth and development.
Otherwise a great film with good songs.

So many great reviews have been written about this film but i just have to add my own. If you haven't seen it, boy you are missing out!
The script is 1st class, the scenery devastatingly beautiful and the acting, wow!!!
The story; A blind Kashmir girl, Zooni (played by Kajol) falls for a charismatic their charismatic tour guide, Rehan (Aamir Khan) while visiting Delhi with her dance troupe. Rehan woos her with witty and cheesy poetry/ chat up lines (she matches him with her come backs) and by giving her a private tour of Delhi enabling her to get thoroughly experience it even though she cant see it. He ecourages her to hear, taste, smell and touch it, and in this way, Delhi is painted in all it's beauty and ugliness on to her imagination. This is also how she gets to know him- touch, smell, listening and tasting. They fall in love even though Rehan would rather not (he warns her not to fall for him, claims he isn't worth loving but, he falls for her too) but all's not well in paradise.
This is as much as I will tell you about the story because I don't want to spoil it for you.
This film is the best kind of poetry. It takes you on a journey through love, joy, sorrow, shock and back again.
See it. You'll be thinking about it long afetr the movie ends.

This is the story of a blind girl (Kajol) who visits Delhi and falls in love with a tour guide (Aamir Khan). She is pure-hearted and can love him deeply. He has never loved and regards women as 'countries to pass through, rest while and move on'. He also has a dark side she doesn't know of. However he falls for her and decides to change his life and marry her. As they await her parents for the wedding, she undergoes an operation to restore her sight then there is a bomb blast and it looks like he is killed. To say more would be to ruin the movie.
I hesitated long before buying this. The reviews rated it highly but talked of 'shocking' bits - and I don't like graphic or very violent movies. If you have been in the same dilemma - there wasn't anything graphic and any shock may have been in the characters dilemmas. There is shooting (mostly off camera) but really there is very little screen time that is violent in any way -and that is more symbolic and brief.
Overall it is a movie that has beautifully depicted romance between the leads and beautiful cinematography. The first half is mostly romance and the second half changes pace and builds in tension and dilemmas (but still has a lot of touching scenes and beauty as well).
Both Aamir and Kajol are first rate - as is Rishi Kapoor as the girls father.
This is one that both connects and tears at the heart strings. While there is sort song there isn't the big dance numbers and the music is generally haunting.
A fine production and a keeper. Elsewhere on the Net it tends to get above average. I was wavering between 4 and 5 as it is probably a 4 1/2. Recommended after all (despite pre-movie hesitancy!)
