Is it worth it?

Forgoing love for something else is what a girl might do but a guy would never is the only sensible point I found in the entire 3 odd hours of watching Fanaa.This much hyped about movie has nothing more to claim than gorgeous looking Kajol and a glimpse of dashing Aamir(at the intermission point) and a couple of good songs which eventually will fade away from your memory.
The surprising thing of all was that Kunal Kohli's direction has changed so much for the bad in the time spanning from the releaseof Hum Tum to that of Fanaa.The direction and the screenplay at times will make you feel that a novice has directed the movie.Take for instance the situation where injured Aamir in the post-intermission part lands up nowhere but at Kajol's Aangan.Isn't it such a cliche'?!
There is nothing to be happy about the movie but for the feel you might get when you realise that the movie has finally come to an end.
There are minor points about the movie which irriatte you at times ,for instance Kajol playing Antakshari and dancing with a stranger who has taken shade in her home,she falling in love with a person whom she has met a couple of days ago and last but not the least the cloying shaayari Aamir gives you all the time.A friend of mine watching the movie with me ended up feeling that we were watching an episode of Rangoli.
On the whole the movie leaves you with a feeling o fpaying teh expensive price of $10 to watch three good songs in the midst of 3 hours of harangue.And believe me as I have written this article not under the immediate influence of the movie but have waited a week to confirm my feelings about the same.

Amir-Kajol pairing for the first time, success of RDB for Amir and Hum Tum for Kunal, no wonder this was a much hyped about movie. But as in most of the cases, bubble just burst up without nothing much in it just like the rising. But blotches are bound to be there in one's career amidst big hits. Being an Aamir khan fan, i had thought of watching it, but the reviews have restrained my insticnts otherwise.
