Just watched Fanaa, for about the third time (from beginning to end, that is. Some bits have been rewound and rewatched many times more than that.) I must squee.

This is my new favourite Hindi movie. It has to mean something, when I'm rewinding the songs and watching them again, instead of fast-forwarding them as is usually done. And when I'm crying at the poetry, when I don't even understand Hindi! And then torrenting the soundtrack, so that I can listen to the songs and cry again.

It's not a perfect movie, of course. There are factual errors and logical loopholes and glaring inconsistencies in the plot. But you won't even notice it. This movie is so good that you want to be fooled. Just pretend it's happening in an alternate universe which is slightly different from our own, okay? There's a literary term, "suspending disbelief," which would be well applied in this situation. Basically, just switch off the part of your brain that's going, "Hey, wait a minute..." and just enjoy the ride.

It's like getting onto a roller-coaster, knowing that you're going to be taken on an exhilarating ride, and just trusting (with your life!) the guy who made the ride. Believe me, this movie doesn't disappoint.

It's best if you watch it without reading any reviews and without any clues as to what's coming. So I won't say any more. All I will say is, there's a reason why Aamir Khan and Kajol win all those awards. Really. Just go watch it, okay?
