Can someone please bother to explain me how FAN is a niche movie or a masterpiece?

Just because it had no song and not a heroine, so it is a niche?

How was it any different from mass appealing masala movies?

It had fight sequences, chasing sequences, illogical plots, double role, OTT drama, foreign locations a big budget and so on.

I really fail to understand the comparison which SRK fans draw between Swades and Fan😕Both the movies are poles apart and Swades was literally a niche movie and was a beautiful movie with SRK shining throughout the movie.

P.S. I am not a troll or a SRK hater just having a genuine doubt.

If PRDP can be a niche movie...why not Fan?😕

I don't know if it is niche but it's quite dark. It hits you hard and has quite a realistic take on the fan culture! Because we see fans similar to Gaurav all around us even in this forum itself.
It would not make you happy, it doesn't celebrate life or bravery, you don't come out feeling strong, rather it leaves you depressed or disturbed.
I am not good with words, perhaps someone who is, can describe better!
The long action scenes were the weakest part of the film.

FAN is a psychological thriller .yes there are chase sequences which is the disadvantage of the film .
