Take a bow, Shah Rukh Khan.
-
While Khan's acting prowess will keep you glued to the film, Maneesh's brand of crisp and tight storytelling holds the plot together.
-
...it is evident why Shah Rukh Khan is needed for a film of this sort, and why only someone in his position and with his caliber could do it too.
-
It’s a unique concept, it’s been executed by some masterful CGI and SRK has dug deep into his reserves to give a stellar double-role performance.
-
...is Shah Rukh Khan's triumph all the way.
-
Maneesh Sharma helps dust that Shah Rukh out from under the debris of the last few years. And Khan puts his best foot forward for his fans.
-
...what works, and works big time, is the terrific act by SRK as the fan. And that's enough reason for you to watch this thriller!
-
It is a wonderful, grasping, knowing performance, the actor and the star all rolled in one, all at our service, even as they service Shah Rukh Khan’s stratospheric stardom.
-
Just when you thought Shah Rukh Khan is losing his edge, he makes a comeback. And how!
-
“You want real acting from me? Here! Take that! And some more!” an emphatic announcement by Shah Rukh Khan in a not-bad thriller.
-
You won't be sorry you watched this film. That's for sure. It is at once mainstream, and not.
-
It is to Shah Rukh Khan's credit for taking on a fairly risky subject...
-
What keeps you hooked is Shah Rukh Khan. He pumps vitality into the narrative. It might get silly but it doesn’t get dull.
-
...could have hit the ceiling with a powerful ending.
-
...is a not a great film, it is a brave film. Watch it still for Shah Rukh Khan’s outstanding portrayal (an extra star only for him).
-
Khan commands the screen in a movie that is effectively a two-hander...
-
...works for the most part because it has the fabulous SRK act as a 'young' star-struck boy. His energetic performance is worth the price of the ticket - if not more.
-
It’s been a while since Khan did anything that involved the turning on of one personality, let alone two. Fan is a welcome correction.
-
What keeps this Fan going is SRK's star power.
-
...is far from being perfect, it urges us to think about issues relating to stardom, fandom, idolatry and public expectations from famous people without overtly appearing to do so.
-
...SRK couldn’t have found a better vehicle than Fan, both as an actor and as a celebration of the highs and the lows of his own stardom.
-
...anyone who – like me – had grown tired and disappointed with Shah Rukh's unwillingness to step out of his comfort zone will have reason to be a fan again.
-
If you're an SRK fan, you don't care for approval. But even if you aren't, this one's a thrilling watch.
-
A well-made but unsatisfying mix of meta-movie and thriller.
