Fanney Khan

There are a few films where you get to see classy actors like Anil Kapoor and Rajkumar Rao together but acting alone cannot save a film. This is exactly the case with 'Fanney Khan'. A father trying to make his daughter a big name in the industry might sound interesting to begin with but Atul Manjrekar has messed it all up. The screenplay and the direction are by far awful. It's a story that could've been so much more but an underwhelming execution by the crew has ended up in sheer disappointment. The film is dragged and has a lot of loopholes, there is no such aspect in the film that engages the audience apart from Anil Kapoor's performance. Anil Kapoor is definitely the only good thing in the film. His act is what made me sit through this whole film. Rajkumar Rao was expected to have an impact as usual but the script doesn't let him come out of his shell and he is not utilized properly. Aishwarya is okay-ish with her performance, she looks pretty but that doesn't hide the fact that she does overact in quite a few scenes The music is decent but the story is so boring that you wouldn't be interested in the songs. Overall, the film is a complete waste of talent and money. SKIP IT

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.

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.

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 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.
