Fanaa: tagline might be 'destroyed in love' but personally I am destroyed by prettiness!
As promised: a picspam of Fanaa, a Bollywood super-hit of 2006, starring two of BW's biggest: Kajol and Aamir Khan.
Fanaa (tagline: 'Destroyed in Love' just so we'll know it will end up well) is one of those movies possible only in Bollywood: an epic, almost three-hour romance between a blind Kashmiri woman (symbolism!) and a terrorist which somehow, impossibly, works. Zooni comes to Bombay to perform with a delegation and meets a carefree tour guide who is not what he seems. It is one of the most romantic movies I have seen and is definitely in the running for my favorite Bollywood movies ever. (I wrote psychotically long write-ups/analyses when it first came out, if interested just click on tag).
It is also one of the most gorgeously filmed movies out there. If I was going to cap the entire movie, I would break my GOMPlayer, so instead, I just capped a few of the most gorgeous, favorite scenes. I can't post them all at once (it's hundreds and hundreds of caps), so I am going to do it in stages.
The scene I am posting now is when Zooni (Kajol) asks Rehan (Aamir Khan) to spend the night with her, no strings attached. Part musical number, part dreamscape, this is gorgeous.
First off a couple of earlier random shots:
Main Event:
Yes, he is kissing her foot. In the rain.
If you think this is pretty, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Mere Haath Mein, a song picturization from the second half of the movie, is tied for my most favorite number in Bollywood.
But that picspam is to come...
