Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
rastyjabarf I really surprised by acting of shahrukh khan he is really amazing in the movie and the story of the movie is really great
MartinHafer "My Name is Khan" is a film you simply must watch with a box of Kleenex nearby. You will shed quite a few tears and it's an emotional roller-coaster watching it. But, it is worth it.The film is about a man named Rizvan Khan, a Muslim Indian man who would be diagnosed has having an Autism Spectrum Disorder. While he's much more functional than many Autistic folks, saying he has Asperger's Syndrome isn't quite right either. Like someone with Asperger's, he is highly intelligent and very functional in many ways...but lacks the ability to understand social graces and nuances. But he also acts a bit odd...avoiding eye contact and behaving, in some ways, like someone classically Autistic. The fact is that there is no one way folks with the disorder act or think...and it is an excellent portrait due to good writing as well as acting by Shahrukh Khan.After Rizvan leaves India for America, the film focuses much on his life and love life...which is very sweet and much like a traditional Bollywood romance...though set in the States. But this is only the first portion. The final half is like a completely different film...a bit like "Forest Gump" in that Rizvan goes on a trek across America...meeting some amazing and famous folks along the way. Why does he go off on this journey? See the film.It's pretty obvious that this film was a personal project of love by Shahrukh Khan. He is a Muslim married to a Hindu..just like the characters in the film. And, like the characters in the film, there were a lot of haters who inexplicably attacked Khan for marrying 'an infidel'. This movie is a plea to everyone to stop this hate...and emphasizes the universal goodness (as well as wickedness). The film shows hate in India as well as America...as well as goodness. And, the film shows Muslims being oppressed...and behaving awfully...much like so many others in the film. All in all, it's a modern morality tale...one intended to both entertain and educate the audience.While I loved the film, as did my wife, it is not perfect. A few of the characters (particularly the wife in the story) are inconsistent and some of their actions are confusing and make little sense...and a few seem a bit like caricatures. But even then, there is so much compelling material and the overall story so good, I can easily overlook the flaws.
lethal_smile There was one time I was a big fan of Shah Rukh Khan which was when I was like 12 and when I didn't have exposure to other cinema but then I unplugged myself and started watching films from around the world (not just Hollywood as many are bad as well) then I realised definitely he is over rated. He is a good actor but definitely not the best in the industry. There are so many better actors from indie side and Amir Khan definitely better than most of commercial actors at the moment and definitely better than Shah Rukh. His acting is the same in every film, his looks are same in every film, his humour is the same in every film even if you watch Hollywood you will notice even he copies actors mainly Hollywood actors and bollywood (Amitabh) his voice, Amitabh started doing this deep voice from that film Agneepath (copying Al Pacino from Scarface) that's how bollywood industry is. Rather watching this film I would suggest watch Rain Man Oscar winning performance from Dustin Hoffman then you will realise how original so called "King of Bollywood" is. Story is not original, jokes are not original, acting is not original, overall a let down.
ghazwan124 I just returned home after the screening of MNIK and i had a blast! I just thought i should share my experience with all of you so here it goes...First things first it ain't a typical bollywood masala flick! It has India's most famous on-screen couple SRK-Kajol but it is not KKHH or DDLJ.... Directed by the supremely talented Karan Johar this movie is an absolute stunner!! In fact everybody(mostly were British) fell in love with SRK's character Rizwan Khan in the movie! Kajol has given a wonderful performance in the movie! I wont be surprised if this movie is nominated for Oscars! SRK plays Rizwan Khan who suffers from autism or commonly known as asperger's syndrome who is married to a single mother Kajol.. The movie deals with effects of 9/11 which shook the world! One man sets out to see the president of USA and shows wonderfully how the people should be strong to chuck away their fears.. The main highlights of the movie are SRK and the climax! Oh what a climax the movie has! You cant control but smile with lots of tears in eyes seeing the climax!! Once again SRK shows that he is not only here for comments and bad films(as people say)No movie in recent times has given so much of emotional attachment with the characters of the film!! The movie will become a cult classic for SRK fans and even those who hate SRK.. I wont spoil anything about the movie but i would say one thing: Wait for 12th Feb and book the tickets for the movie as soon as you can! And believe me it will change your life completely(and don't forget to thank me later! :)! The movie will break all records and set new trends in film making) For the people in India i feel lucky to have seen the movie before you but don't be disappointed! Better late then never!! I repeat whenever you will watch it your life will change completely!!This movie deserves a full 10!!Thanks and Regards! habeb Al_janaby
