It seems almost obligatory for this blind girl to come back with a partner who will have her. Kajol’s mother Kiron Kher practically badgers her blind daughter into finding a soulmate when she leaves for the Capital. Now I’ve complained incessantly about how films like Pyare Mohan and Tom Dick And Harry are insensitive towards the handicapped, and in Fanaa, I find that the problem’s a little different, but it’s there nonetheless.

The problems in Fanaa start pouring out from the very start of the film, and most of its flaws arise from its careless script and its fractured screenplay. When she does stumble upon his real identity, she must ask herself if this is really the man she’s always loved. The couple marries, but she still doesn’t know what he does for a living. Oh and yes, there’s one more hitch - he’s a terrorist and she doesn’t know it.Įventually he reveals to her that he’s the man she loved and the father of her son, and that he’s never stopped loving her. By now she’s regained her sight, she has a son from her relationship with him, but she doesn’t recognise him. Seven years later he runs into her again. They sing songs, they do some sight-seeing, they make love - and then he vanishes, convincing her that he’s dead. Hum Tum director Kunal Kohli’s Fanaa starring Aamir Khan and Kajol is this week’s big new Bollywood release.Īt its heart, it’s a love story between a blind girl from Kashmir and a tour guide she falls for on a trip to Delhi. Alright, so it’s finally here, the film we’ve been discussing for days now and the film we’ve been eager to see for some months.
