Fanaa sets the tone of the movie with Zulfikar, father of Zooni who teaches her a lesson that “it’s easy to choose between right or wrong, but it comes to us when its time to choose the better one of the two rights or lesser of the two evils”. As she is going to stranger city first time is his life to perform on one republican day. There she meets local guide Rehan who impresses Zooni by his romantic poetry.
