Dammit, I am currently not in my apartment (but rather at mum's place) and everything online is making me miss my DVD's. Fanaa is such a glorious movie. To be honest I haven't rewatched it that much, probably because the ending tears me to bits. Watching the songs may be an option, though.
God how I ficced this movie! I sometimes get fic bunnies from BW films to this day but I haven't been PLAGUED by them since Fanaa, sadly.
The last screencap of Mere haath mein is one of the hottest pics of Aamir ever.
By the way, I remember watching this last August or so and wondering if you liked it - Maine Pyar Kiya, Salman's first movie? Cheesy as heck but the best film from Rajshri I know since I didn't like HAHK/HSSH much.. I also saw Ek Duuje Ke Liye last fall, a really cute romance between a Hindi speaker and a Tamil speaker, gets a bit angsty at the end and is one of the most talked about romantic movies of the olde. You might enjoy it.
God, these are beautiful. Can I take some of them? I am in love with Aamir Khan's arms. And his mouth. And Kajol is simply the most beautiful woman in the world.
What I love about the sex thing is that she initiates it. She is such a wonderful heroine in this film: blind and sweet and decorous but also in full control over what she wants and what she desires and she goes into this with both eyes open, as it were, knowing it has no future. And Aamir's tormented face as he gazes at her and can't help himself... You know, I think this is a movie that improves on second viewing because then you already know that he is a terrorist and you see things in all the earlier things that you didn't see first time round (or at least, I didn't see them).
I love raindrop poiint-of-view! And oh, I love each and every single kissing-of-throat scene.
So (*is curious*), if the Mera haath mein song is a tie, what is the other song...?
My top songs are nearly all in Dil Se. The song sequence in that movie alone tells a story all unto itself.
Of course you can take! Mmmm...Aamir. I never got the fuss about him and then he did Fanaa and Rang De Basanti in close succession and I was a goner.
My other favorite picturization is Suraj Hua Maddam in K3G. Talk about scorching!

I love that she takes charge of her fate - in a lot of ways she is more active than Rehan in their relationship. He is more reactive but she goes for what she wants or what she thinks should be done.
Aamir's tormented face as he gazes at her and can't help himself... I don't think he's ever been loved selflessly before, by anyone (his grandfather is a monster and his life doesn't allow close relationships). Zooni doesn't want anything from him, not even to tie him down -she just loves him and, even more importantly, she thinks he is good, and that is something he desperately needs. He believes in his ideals but he knows he's

The more I think about this film, the more I love it. Also what you said in your other post about the blindness as metaphor; that hadn't occurred to me before. So many layers!
I had no interest in Aamir Khan in Lagaan and then saw Rang de Basanti because of Fanaa. And I saw Fanaa because of Kajol.
Suraj Hua Maddam in K3G: is that the Egypt song? I LOVE Kajol in a black sari. *dies*
I am imprinted like a duck with KKKH. The pavilion! Though that's not even a song. And Dil Se, I am lost to Dil Se. Every song in that makes me shiver. And talk about angst. What is it with these terrorist love films?? When they dance in the mountains, and go berserk with obsession -- *dies*.

I liked the fact that he was very human. Not a picture perfect BW-hero (I love those as well) but a human.
And even at the end, it's not as if he decided his ideals (or methods) were wrong: it's just he found something (or someone) he loved more...
So true.

The scene in the gazebo in KKHH is arguably my favorite Bollywood scene.
