Warning: This might be a spoiler for the movie if you are planning to watch it (in the real sense of the word actually)
I saw Fanaa. I thought it was a paisa vasool movie. I could not digest the first half much. Everything happened too fast for my sensibilities. Come on! A tourist guide flirts shamelessly with the girl and the girl falls in love with him !! Isnt that what the tapories on the streets do ! It was blatant eve-teasing and it was not at all appealing. It was intelligent flirting agreed, what with all that shayari at every step. But still!! A girl with a relative stranger alone at khooni darwaaza has every reason to be afraid. More so if she is blind. But the girl here isnt! Interval time I was wondering to myself if the romantic in me has actually become cynical of late.. But no. I still love reading Mills and Boons in one sitting for their happy endings. I just cant put them down until the happilylivedeverafters. So it must not be so. The movie had a flaw.. I actually liked the second half of the movie. I like people with trimmed hair (John Abraham and Zulfi are the exceptions :-D) And the kid was cute but so predictably cute. There was also a scene equivalent of tussi-ja-rahe-ho.
To sum it all up: A very gorgeous Kajol, a very old Aamir, lovely skirts, beautiful locales, a tour of my own Delhi :-D, good poetry, wasted Tabu, good songs, hmmmmm....
In fact, I think flirting is a very dishonest thing to do. Not if the rules are pre-defined and the terms are clear. But then the fun is lost right! But what if one is already committed and still seeks out new pastures to exercise one's prowess. I find it very abhorrent. Maybe Im archaic in these issues still. I look for honesty in every dealing.

Not yet seen Fanaa... i generally like all aamir's movies... but somehow this one just didn't click. neways now i am never gonna see it..:-p
U know in delhi if u visit chandni chowk area (especially), ull see many prototypes of the tapori aamir. i wonder if they ever let any lady come out of that place without harassment.
Delhi is charming cos it has so much history. But its the worst crime-wise. makkaar/imaandaar ratio is very high there.
