Fanaa is a romantic drama film that revolves around the story of Aamir Khan, who plays the role of Rehman, a tour guide in Kashmir. He falls in love with a beautiful tourist, Kajol, who comes to Kashmir with her family. As their love blossoms, Rehman decides to take extreme measures to protect Kajol and her family from the threats of a terrorist.

Fanaa was a commercial success, grossing over ₹46 crore at the box office. The film opened at number one at the Indian box office and stayed at the top for several weeks.

The music for Fanaa was composed by Ismail Darbar, and the soundtrack features several hit songs, including "Tere Liye," "Fanaa Fanaa," and "Aankhon Mein Teri."

The film was embroiled in controversy due to its depiction of Kashmir and its alleged anti-Pakistan stance. The film's portrayal of a Kashmiri youth who falls in love with a tourist and sacrifices his life for her was seen as a positive representation of Kashmir.

Fanaa received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising the performances of the lead actors, while others criticized the film's storyline and direction.
