Fanaa (2006 film)

Fanaa (transl. Annihilation) is a 2006 Indian Hindi-language tragedy romantic thriller film, directed by Kunal Kohli and produced by Aditya Chopra and Yash Chopra under their banner Yash Raj Films. The film stars Aamir Khan and Kajol in the lead roles with Rishi Kapoor, Kirron Kher, Tabu, and Sharat Saxena in supporting roles. The film is about Zooni, a blind Kashmiri woman, who falls in love with her tour guide Rehan, a terrorist in disguise.

Fanaa was one of the most expensive Bollywood films at its time of release. The film's title is derived from the Islamic Sufi term fanaa, meaning "destroyed". Khan and Kajol were paired romantically opposite each other for the first time, but it marked their second collaboration after Ishq (1997). It also marked the comeback of Kajol, who was last seen in Karan Johar's family drama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001).

Fanaa released on 26 May 2006, and grossed over ₹1.03 billion at the box-office against a production and marketing budget of ₹300 million, thus becoming the sixth highest grossing Hindi film of the year. The film emerged as a commercial success, despite having been banned in the state of Gujarat due to protests against Khan for his comments criticizing the Gujarat government. At the 52nd Filmfare Awards, Fanaa won three awards, including Best Actress (Kajol).
