Zooni, a blind Kashmiri girl, meets Rehan Qadri (Aamir Khan), a local tour guide who explores the city's architecture. In no time, Rehan begins to flirt with her.

Rehan is fascinated by Zooni. He truly wants her to see life as it should be seen, in its many colours - and as he promises her, the time spent with him will be the most precious in all her life.

What Zooni doesn't know is that Rehan has another side of his life that he has kept from her - something that can change her life and also destroy it. Fanaa (meaning destroyed in love) sees Aamir Khan once again working with Yash Chopra after 13 years. The film also acts as a comeback vehicle for Kajol who comes out of her self imposed retirement.

Fanaa is director Kunal Kohli's third film. His films Muhjse Dosti Karoge and Hum Tum were UK box office hits when they released.
