Taran Adarsh, a fairly average market analyst and film critic called the film a “welcome event in the spate of films releasing this year, and a film that would end the drought of flops this season” and that was no mere speculation mind you, it was stated after the film was released.
As everyone walked out of the film, there was this common emotion on relief that finally the over 3 hours tirade ended, which just goes to show how skewed are our so called film analysts are who laud or write films off at their own will or financial motives/vested interests. To call Fanaa clichéd or stereotypical would be an understatement. And my mind fails to understand how could people who have shown decent level of cinema(the tech crew on the film) sensibilities could go the mediocre way and embarrass the ones who swear by their earlier creative flight. But what worries me more than the oft repeated formula film is the kind of names associated and resources used for making these films. I really do not know if makes sense to even state the umpteen flaws with the film.
There are reasons for that and they are plenty. Seeing Fanaa today makes me reaffirm my disgust at the contemporary mainstream Indian cinema. I would really have loved to contradict myself and see my predictions about the film being nothing new going wrong, but alas! Recently, seeing the state of some of the upcoming mainstream products, I was mulling whether we are moving ahead or a step backwards in terms of evolution of cinema. I Had hoped that finally Yash raj is trying something new, more so because it had roped in Aamir Khan for the first time for a film under their production. There are reasons I wanted to see this film. How long will we keep digesting the same difficult-to-digest pill of badly done concoctions that Bollywood assumes we will accept without the slightest hesitation?
Fanaa is really made to challenge your tolerance.
