Movie Summary
Gaurav Chandna (Shahrukh Khan) is a middle-class Delhi-based diehard fan of Bollywood superstar Aryan Khanna (also Shahrukh Khan). Ever since a young age, he has had favoured Aryan as his favourite superstar, collecting his photos and then pasting it on his wall at his home, watching all of his films and ultimately favouring him as his god. Because of this, even after getting poor marks in his exams and getting reprimands from his parents, Gaurav has one ultimate dream, to meet Aryan person-to-person. In the present-day, Gaurav runs an cybercafé and even has photos of Aryan hung around the walls of the place. One day, he lets his longtime love interest Neha fill in her visa to allow her to go to the United States for further education. Just after she leaves, a couple of goons come in to the cybercafé and ask Gaurav to let them use the computers a bit longer, but Gaurav tries to make them understand that the cybercafé closes within 5:30 PM under the law of the government, which promotes the gangsters to beat up Gaurav. Gaurav however, manages to fight them off and beat them up with little effort using the fighting skills he learned from Aryan's films. Despite winning the fight, Neha reprimands him for trying to play the role of a hero. When Gaurav wins a local talent show competition impersonating his idol Aryan, he embarks on a journey to meet his idol in person and show him his winning trophy on his idol's birthday. Gaurav travels to Mumbai without a train ticket and manages to get a free ride by almost risking his life by trying to commit suicide by jumping out of a moving train, which forces the train conductor to keep Gaurav on the train. On Aryan's birthday, Gaurav makes his way through the hostile crowd on the bustling streets of Mumbai just to meet his idol but is prevented by Aryan's security guards, making it difficult to meet him. Later, Sid Kapoor, a fellow actor, expresses harsh comments towards Aryan criticizing his loyalty towards new aspiring actors, which angers Gaurav. Gaurav ventures his way in Sid's cabin and unleashes his fury on Sid, threatening him for an apology while been recorded. A helpless Sid obliges and the video is uploaded on the internet. Aryan's PA shows him the video which he considers the actions of Gaurav a "crime". Aryan sends his personal car to retrieve Gaurav, instead Sid's security guards arrive. Gaurav incapacitates the guards and tries to escape from the balconies but is eventually apprehended once he gets down to sea level. Gaurav is sent to jail where he is mercilessly beaten until he pleads for mercy. Aryan arrives at the jail to secretly meet Gaurav. Aryan declares that Gaurav is not his fan. He also threatens Gaurav that he should never do that again and tells him to return home before leaving and that they never met or even talked. This leaves a shocked Gaurav sobbing in his jail. The next day, Gaurav is bailed out and he apologizes to the police. A disturbed Gaurav returns home and burns all of Aryan's posters which engulfed the wall of his room. He vows to get revenge by destroying his stardom. One year later in London, Gaurav heads to Madame Tussauds wax museum, impersonating Aryan, where he expresses his hatred towards Aryan. This triggers a havoc situation and the police arrest the real Aryan at his own home but manages to get bail. Aryan departs to Dubrovnik for a show, unaware Gaurav is also in Dubrovnik. Gaurav disguises himself as a back dancer to perform as an extra in Aryan's performance. Aryan instructs his personnel to look out for Gaurav but eventually realizes that he is part of the production team and not a guest. After thoroughly searching the building for his presence to no avail, Aryan rushes to his make-up to find "Gaurav makes Aryan" written on the mirror. Aryan is later scheduled to perform at a billionaire's wedding. Instead, Gaurav, disguised as Aryan again, arrives and dances with the billionaire's daughter, eventually molesting her. The billionaire vents his anger towards the real Aryan asking him to leave. This results in a tarnished reputation and fans eventually boycotting his performances around the world. While departing, Aryan spots a "journalist" among a crowd of media. Aryan realizes that it's Gaurav and eventually chase after him but Gaurav escapes. The molestation video goes viral and fans around the world expresses their hatred toward Aryan. Aryan declares in a press conference that he is being impersonated by someone else and advises the media to watch out for Gaurav as he can hurt anyone. Back in India, Gaurav, posing as Aryan again, accesses Aryan's home, vandalizing his trophy collection in the study room and holding Aryan's daughter hostage while imploring to Aryan's wife (Waluscha De Sousa) why is Aryan not apologizing. Aryan arrives home moments later but Gaurav escapes leaving his daughter safe and his wife traumatized. Aryan learns from Gaurav's parents that Gaurav will be present at the local talent show. Aryan calls Gaurav by phone and warns him to stop all of it. Gaurav's father then blames Aryan for not apologizing, but Gaurav's mother instead wants to punish Gaurav anyway he can, but pleads to the actor to not let her son die. At the show, Neha arrives to tell Gaurav that she is going to the USA and wants to wish Gaurav all the best, but finds out that it is actually Aryan. Aryan then devises a plan with Gaurav's love interest Neha to play along with him. Aryan, imitating Gaurav now, declares 'his" love to Neha and reveals everything Gaurav did at London and Dubrovnik. This event takes the nearby witnessing Gaurav to the point where he cannot bear it and he fires at Aryan. After a long chase once again, Aryan subdues Gaurav and they starting fighting. With Aryan suffering minor wounds and Gaurav barely alive after a horrendous beating, Aryan tells Gaurav to end this all and tells him to live a life of Gaurav Chandna instead of "Junior Aryan Khanna". As Aryan is leaving, Gaurav tells him he said everything but still never apologized to him. He falls of the building edge but Aryan catches him declaring it does not have to end like this. Gaurav responds that Aryan will never understand him and then frees his hand from Aryan's hand. He then falls to his death with a smile on his face. A horrified Aryan watches even after Gaurav lands to his death, still smiling. Aryan's name is cleared from all the controversies surrounding him, with Gaurav's name forever joined to his but the ordeal still haunts him to the point where he sees "Gaurav" again among the crowd when he greets his fans on his next birthday.
