![]() The character of Gaurav was well crafted but playing it must be a challenging job and after Happy New Year and Dilwale, I wasn’t expecting much from SRK but to my surprise, he nailed it. Despite all the security, Gaurav manages to pull off some egregious acts in the name of the superstar, which makes the movie absurd and when Gaurav succeeds in deceiving Aryan’s home-guard and his wife as well, the movie becomes silly to some extent. The first half ends and so does the logic and the movie becomes implausible but I’m preety sure it will not bother true SRK fans. The movie becomes dark and although Gaurav is the negative character in the movie but it also sheds some light on how narcissistic some stars are that even saying a simple sorry defies their ego. He comes back to Delhi and burns away all Aryan Khanna posters and now all he wants is to make Aryan Khanna regret. This experience leaves him dejected and disappointed, and all his hero-love turns into hatred. After being turned away from his home he goes below the belt and does something wicked to please him but unlike his expectation, Aryan wasn’t happy with whatever he did and as a result, he was sent to jail. When he reaches the star’s house, he finds himself lost in other hundreds of fans like him. He traces Aryan’s journey back to his struggling days and like a true fan, he stays in the same hotel room where Aryan stayed. He embarks on a pilgrimage to Mumbai (without ticket). He wins a trophy of ‘best actor’ in a local ‘Super Sitara’ competition by imitating Aryan and then gifting the trophy to his idol, Aryan Khanna becomes the sole purpose of his life. He bears a resemblance to his idol Aryan and he can also do a pitch-perfect imitation of the superstar. Gaurav Chandna lives in Inder Vihar, Delhi and is an extremely obsessed fan of Aryan Khanna, a big Hindi film superstar. ![]() But unlike Darr, in Fan, he is the assailant and the victim as well. ![]() SRK has previously played the character of an obsessive psychotic before, remember Darr. The limits of love and obsession, not defined yet defied at times edging the threshold, turning itself into insanity. ![]()
