Fanaa
Story of a man ruthlessly pursuing his goal – a goal set for him by his own Grandfather.
This man also happens to be intelligent ,well read, versatile and a great Actor as well. A result of ‘very good training' and motivation by his Mentor .
A child (played by Amir Khan) is born during the times of utter unrest & ruckus due to dispute over Kashmir . His parents die when he was just 3 years old. He is then brought up by his own Grandfather – who was the Leader of the rebels who were fighting for the cause of bringing peace to their otherwise ‘unsafe & insecure ‘ life.
Being born under such circumstances with constant ‘struggle for existence', the ‘survival of the fittest' instinct was , but obviously, predominant in him as well as in all his other rebel comrades. So they left ‘no stone unturned' to destroy the peace & tranquility of others in the neighborhood and nation… .who knew about their ‘continuous' torture but just sat ‘pretty' and did nothing about it.
While on a mission to blow up the President's Office – he becomes a Guide and generally befriends people in the vicinity with his sweet & charming behavior. A group of girls arrive at Delhi in order to perform a dance drama kind of a thing – generally singing how glorious Mother India was and how proud the Indians are to be born here !
He gets pally with a blind girl (played by Kajol) in the group.(The Director probably wants to equate the situation with Mahabharat's blind Queen Gandhari – who begets blind Dhritarastra's sons..all villains) . He too develops a weakness for her. She was about to leave for her home town and only 12 hours were left for her to go when she requests the ‘terrorist' to give her ‘the time of her life' – that she'll never forget ever in her life. Being blind , her expectation was understandable – nobody would ever like to spend his life with a physically handicapped person esp. who is blind – this much was very well known to her – so she thought of ‘having a good time'….till it lasts and goes ahead to ‘get wet ..in the rain' with him (the terrorist in disguise ie.) and goes on to have ‘sex' with him !! Since her ovulation period coincidentally coincided with her ‘danger period' so she conceives – at one go ! Mother Nature had given her indications of his ‘debauch' character – eg. nature disguised as ‘Item girl' –played by Lara Dutta - approaches him and says ‘sweet nothings' to him in her presence – but it all falls in deaf ears…so along with being blind, she pretended to be deaf as well…all this just to have a good time…a time of her life ! After doing the needful, she boards the train and is about to leave when a great ‘illusion' probably Mahamaya – acts on Amir's mind and he takes her down and decides to marry her – but before doing so he takes her to the Hospital and hires the ‘best of Doctors' to bring back her sight ! She gets her sight back – but Amir had already escaped after blasting the President's office. So he was thought to be dead.
So after having ‘the time of her life' they part ways – Amir partly fails in the mission of blasting the President's Office and gets a ‘dressing down' by his Grandfather for he had come to know of his ‘small affair' with the blind girl. He also realizes that it was wrong on his part to waver from his goal and tears her snap that he was carrying with him.
7 years pass. Amir had joined the Indian Army and is shown as holding the designation of Major. His mission this time was to steal a ‘trigger' to blast an entire Indian town. He more or less succeeds but unfortunately the Indian Intelligence comes to know of it. They hound him like mad dogs – but still he escapes and badly bruised, reaches a house in a hail-stormy night. Tighten your seat belts folks – this house is of the same ‘blind' girl who could now see !!So she could not recognize him! She had named her son after his father ‘Rehan'. Kajol nurses him and he begins to see all that he missed out during his childhood – love, affection, innocence etc. and longs to settle down in life & have a family life – only after handing over the ‘trigger' to his Grandfather ! He tells her about his past and the fact that he was verily the one who had accepted her - inspite of her blindness - and they get formally married.
Kajol's father comes to know of his terrorist background and decides to hand him over to the Army. Amir kills whoever comes on his way. There is a scene here from Ken Follet's “the eye of the needle” where the Hero is a spy and as Kajol is about to tell him of having found her Father's dead body – he says that he is fine drinking with is friend. She realizes that he is a liar and a cheat – ah! At last !! – there is a confrontation – both face each other with pistol in their hands – but Amir for once could not kill – as Kajol's lovely face and innocence stops him from doing so – but she shoots him – for he was betraying her ‘Motherland'.So (fanaa means annihilation) Amir had been annihilating the World in hatred but himself got annihilated in Love !!
Inference :
Hatred is more stronger an emotion than ‘love'. Thus Amir single-handedly annihilated 100s of people and destroyed buildings built with so much labor and other resources in just a matter of a few seconds …whereas the Army Jawans or Police Jawans fail to accomplish simple tasks – for basically they have ‘zero' emotion of any sort attached to their work – neither of ‘love' nor of ‘hatred' !They just work in order to make both ends meet – to feed the family and to get a steady income by joining the Government – thus greatest of the great Management Gurus fail to motivate Officers and Jawans to work as a team with enthusiasm and fervor…or maybe even such Management Gurus are unaware of ‘what is wrong and what is right' – thus fail to motivate the people seeking it (motivation) from them !
Suggestion :
Since the Follywood has impregnated the Nation with too much ‘love' …so lets solve it in a lovely….. loverly way.
- The Jawans – Defence,Police,Security etc. should be posted at their respective ‘home-towns' so that at the end of the day they get to see their kith & kin and while serving their Mother Land – if they are posted in their respective home towns – since their wife, Mother & Father, children will also be residing in the same area – so he will work with more enthusiasm than ever – as by providing ‘protection' and ‘security' to his designated area – he will be sure of his family's safety and well being as well.
- While working at The Park, one of our ‘Soft skills' Instructor, Mr Arunesh Maiyar had once told me that the least exploited resource of this Earth is the Human Resource !!Keeping the above statement on mind let Human Resource Managers/Executive be recruited who would be given the responsibility of atleast 50 personnel each – and will be responsible for not just the Jawan or Officer singularly but for the entire family – which would include : use of condoms, childbirth and hygiene, no extra marital affairs, children's education – basically counseling the child as well - as to what line he / she should choose based on their academic performance etc.- basically be a mentor to ‘family' as a whole. This should not be any Herculean task in this era of Computers and mobiles . As far as paying the Executives are concerned – well how much does one (educated) require to lead a decent life – not more than 8 to 10 thousand per month. Money is wasted on futile pursuits like discotheques, dance bars, drink bars, prostitutes etc. Well if we reallocate the men to their respective hometowns – the Prostitutes will not be required anymore – as while in the vicinity of home – one hardly ventures in such vices. Special Attention : Truck Owners have to hire HR / Motivational Executives to counsel the Truck Drivers. Their threshold limit (how long they can do without sex) is to be checked thoroughly and then allocated the duties. The greater the threshold the longer distant & time duty could be allocated – or maybe some changeover system has to be developed – so that they hand over and return home after 2-3 days.
- Forced Prostitutes should be rehabilitated and engaged in several other works like sewing, cooking, nursing in Spastic societies, home for the aged etc. Lady like easy work should be given to them as they would probably fail to do anything tough..afterall they have had a cushy life throughout…this bit I have said based on the fact that most girls are ‘jumping' to take up the profession of a ‘prostitute' must be an easy job…otherwise why would they want to do it….?!
- Orphans – already born – are to be taken care of well and should be given chance of decent living. BUT – further birth of orphans and fatherless children has to stop immediately – which of course means prostitutes will not be allowed to have children…of course in absence of Prostitutes, such children will not be born and create ruckus for the mass in general. (ps Orpahns as a result of some calamity is a different thing - to be taken well care of. )
- Lastly – for people who wonder – how the pimps and prostitutes rule over a Nation full of ‘rich and varied heritage' – well there is something called ‘gene pool' which grows stronger with variety in ‘gene makeup'- since Prostitutes do not see (cannot afford to see basically) any difference in caste, creed, color, age – they usually give birth to extremely ‘versatile' & dominant personalities – who immediately take over nincompoops born to us ‘common mass'…this last bit is sheer-ly my inference based on watching too much films ……where it is usually shown that Defence, Police, Intelligence ,Politics….everything fails in front of a single or maybe a couple of Rebels !!
