Aamir Khan and Yash Chopra - a powerhouse combination that comes together after 14 years (the duo last worked together in Parampara)
Aamir Khan and Kajol - undoubtedly two of the best performing talents of Bollywood coming together for the first time (the duo starred together in Ishq but were not romantically paired in the film)
And 'last' but not the least
Jatin and Lalit - (reportedly) composing together for the last time for this film
Now these are reasons enough to have elevated expectations from Fanaa; not to forget director Kunal Kohli who proved his sensitive treatment of subject with Hum Tum extracting fine performances from both Rani and Saif!

So when you open the trailer of Fanaa you have high anticipations from the film. And as the trailer opens showing Aamir Khan flipping his jacket and walking through the monumental structures of Delhi, the mood is set for a trademark Yash Chopra film. Kajol spinning her head and swaying her hair in air just adds to your belief. So after an adventurous Bunty aur Babli, a new-age Salaam Namaste and a formulaic Neal-N-Nikki, Fanaa goes back into the Yash Raj zone of ethereal and chaste love.
Celebrations, traditions and fun follow giving the feel-good effect. Jatin-Lalit's infectious track Subhan Allah plays in the background. Kajol plays a blind girl in the film. Aamir who plays Rehan Qadri, a flirtatious local tour guide takes Zooni Ali Beg (Kajol) for a ride across Delhi but subsequently falls in true love with her.
The names of Aamir and Kajol flash on the backdrop of snowfall that subtly implies the setting of the film on the backdrop of terrorism in Kashmir. Rehan is not just a guide; he has another face of life that he has kept away from Zooni. This becomes clearer with the last scene of the trailer showing Aamir changing his image from the flippant guide to a more intense character, firing a bullet.
The trailer ends on a heavy-worded dialogue with Kajol saying
“teri dil mein meri saanson ko panaah mil jaye
… teri ishq mein meri jaan fanaa ho jaye”
Fanaa means 'destroyed in love'.
