Indian thriller movie, starring the king of Bollywood (Shah Rukh Khan) in a dual role about Gaurav Chandna who is a look alike and die-hard fan of Aryan Khanna (both played by Shah Rukh Khan). So when Gaurav wins local popidol type contest he used the cash prize to go on an expedition to meet his idol. Unfortunately upon arrival at his idols house he realises that he is just another fan in the thousands that gather around Aryans home so when he sees one of Aryans rivals, Sid Kapoor, speak out in the media he decides to get his idols attention by gate crashing his way into Sids film shoot, ties him up and forces him to apologies to Aryan, this video goes viral and a horrified Aryan has Gaurav quietly arrested where he berates him for his actions and sends Gaurav home with his tail between his legs. However, Gaurav does not take this lightly and goes home to plot his revenge against the man that he has spent his life imitating and idolising so the movie then becomes a jet setting ride of Gaurav prodding deeper and deeper into Ayrans professional and personal life in increasingly disturbing levels of volume which begins to unhinge Aryans life both on and off screen which in turn leads Ayran to take measures into his own hands and fight right back.
It’s my first step into Bollywood movies so I do not have a lot to refer this film against but I found myself looking past the subtitles and slightly overlong running time and enjoyed the excellent dual acting of the star, some very good choreography during the fight and chase scenes and the cautionary tale of whether the man makes the fan or does the fan make the man comes across very well.
