PLOT: Twenty-five-year-old Gaurav(SRK), an over-obsessive fan, whose life revolves around superstar Aryan(Khan, again) & has spent his life worshiping Aryan Khanna and has parlayed a slight physical resemblance into a hobby impersonating the star at talent shows in his Delhi neighborhood.

He informs the police to arrest Gaurav, who rough him up. Later, Aryan berates and warns him that he has committed a crime. Heartbroken, Gaurav burns down Aryan's posters and decides to take revenge by discrediting him.Gaurav asking Aryan to apologize in public for his misbehavior else threatening to destroy his stardom. Aryan refuses.

Now,how Gaurav takes revenge from Aryan,How Aryan saves himself from Gaurav what forms the rest of the story.

PERFORMANCES: SRK in double role is just brilliant.The way he portrayed the character of Gaurav is highly commendable.If SRK is charming and believable as the superstar, he delivers a sterling performance as the fan with vengeance on his mind.Shriya Pilgaonkar [Neha], Deepika Amin [Gaurav's mother] and Yogendra Tiku [Gaurav's father] are wonderful.

MUSIC: composed by Vishal-Shekhar.The sole track Jabra Fan, a rhythmic, foot-tapping song that's filmed energetically made for promotion only.There is no song in the film.

SRK's transformation as the young fan needs to be lauded,full credit goes to three times Academy Awards winner make-up artist Greg Cannom.

FAN has a brilliant first half, but loses track in the second half, only to pick up again towards the pre-climax. The writing should've been tighter.Climax could be better.

Overall,Fan is surely watchable film.Its quite 'hatke' film from SRK's masala entertainer genre movie which he normally does.But this is not the best film of SRK.
