Fanne Khan

The movie was below average, the star cast were sincere and tried their best.

As i watched the movie i realised there is an imortant parental message in the movie. The movie is essentially a story of a daughter, mother and father. The parents are poor yet have they have totally spoilt their daughter. She disrespects her fatber at every stage and the mother defends here by blaming the father for upsetting her. The father tries everything in the world to keep his daughter happy and to fulfil her dreams, to the point where he resorts to kidnapping. The daughter is totally rude, spending money and taking loans to buy dresses without asking for consent from the bill payer. At the end this spoilt, rude child makes it.

This is message of this movie. Like i said a pathetic movie somewhat tolerable due to a 1st class set of actors.

This story is pathetic. Story is setting example of taking bad path for success and getting it using this movie. How actors like Aishwarya and Anil Kapoor can work in such type of movies.

Something similar is shown in Secret Superstar, a film by Aamir Khan, clearly visible quality or work.

Bad story, bad message, setting wrong example, hate it. I wasted my time on it. Writing this review so I can save some else's time.

Honestly, India hides behind so much mediocrity and worse under the name of "family entertainer". Yes because family entertainer is all about hinting little girls how couch casting *might* become important in their careers. There are so many plot holes in this god-awful film, it is an insult to common sense. And can India cut the lame melo-dramatic nonsense, we are tired of it. If we wanted to watch a melo-dramatic movie, we would have watched something from the 90's. Indian audiences deserve much better.

If Hindi movie filmmakers keep on making such insipid movies like Fanney Khan it will not do any good for the Hindi cinema. Atul Manjrekar debut as a director also credits for screenplay is a failure in both departments.

The movie is an official remake of a Belgian movie (If it has to be remake a better movie could have been adapted) but does not help its cause.

Story is about a days gone by struggling artist who wants to make her daughter a successful singer. The movie does not have any originality and the execution is also not up to the mark.

The only saving grace is Anil Kapoor and the girl who plays his daughter. Talented actor like Rajkumar Rao is wasted. Aishwarya looks attractive but overacts in some scenes though she does not have much to do.

Music is average. I am so exhausted after watching this movie that don't feel like writing more. Do not waste your money and if you are a fan of Anil Kapoor please wait to watch when it gets screened on the television.

The hero, #FanneyKhan, couldnt become another 'rafi', so he decides that his daughter will become another 'lata'. So how does he achieve this impossible dream? By kidnapping a super singer n threatening to kill her, if his daughter isnt given a chance in a tv show. The super singer is stupid n bored, so she plays along. The climax is convenient n illogical. Very good performances by kapoor, dutta, rao, kulkarni n sand. Ash is okay. Music is bad. Rating 2.5/5.
