FAN is a film with glimpses of potential especially due to SRK's acting at some places but the weak direction loses the track gradually ending up nowhere. It has plenty of chases some of them unnecessarily pulled long and directed without anything to keep us engaged (read the window chase, bike and foot chase in Europe and chase in the climax etc etc). Gaurav's scene of the competition is another one that could have been easily edited without making it too long, because after some time it does get tedious to see SRK promoting his own self (so evident!). It has become a trend in Bollywood to kill one character when they don't know how to end it (in fact Dhoom 3 had this so similar), may be to ignite a certain sense of sympathy but it was too cliched for this one. It starts off trying to be funny with very old school out dated back ground score, then tries to be a little dramatic, then emotional and then thriller (very weirdly so, one guy trying to be the Ethan Hunt in taking revenge) and then again shows Gaurav in a very emotional light (credits). The director keeps shifting gears giving a super ambiguous character sketch which is lost in itself. The film seems very confused in its motive and understanding, it has picked from various films which would have been alright if it was executed in a gripping fashion. Clearly SRK is capable of much more, I hope we get something from Raes.
