"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.

I love this movie very well it's amazing perfect script and storytelling and story-line Brilliant screenplay outstanding performances by everyone good songs I watched it because my favorite superstars were in it shahrukh and jimmy They have done excellent in their character roles Karol does well in her character this is the best in 2010 I absolutely loved this movies it's epic blockbuster of all time my rating 10/10

Popped this in the other night and only made it through the first hour before I couldn't stay awake any longer. What I saw to that point was a fairly harmless romantic comedy that featured a couple of nice performances.The next night I resumed watching and it was like the movie entered the Twilight Zone. Gone was the warm, quirky beginning and in its place came something that can only be described as a mix between an After School Special and a CAIR-funded work of propaganda. What's the old joke? "Muslims fear backlash from tomorrow's terrorist attack" Acts of retribution on innocents are to be condemned in the strongest terms but this movie falsely depicts an America steeped in bigotry and hate. In fact, Islam has mostly been accorded a special status in America since 9/11. It began that very week with President Bush insisting that Islam is a "religion of peace". The scene with the teacher railing against the violence of Islam? It's far more likely in the post 9/11 world that a school would insist its non-Muslim students learn a sanitized version of Muslim history, perhaps even asking them to wear Islamic dress or try a sample fast for Ramadan. This isn't a political board and I don't want to get off topic because the point is that these film makers seem to have only a passing familiarity with the United States, yet they made the country as a whole one of the characters in their film -- and in doing so chose to depict it in a very poor light.A grievous example of this was the fictional town in Georgia that appeared to be a Disneyfied version of an 1880's sharecropper village. One that has remained in the same ossified state well into the 21st century. Yes, some towns are poorer than others but can you find me a single example of an American small town where there are only cow paths and not a single paved road? Where every denizen resides in a ramshackle wooden shed? As embarrassing as this was, the post-hurricane scenes are even more ridiculous. A hurricane that lasts a month? A town completely bereft of modern medical facilities or any modern structure? The only ones bothered enough to offer relief are out-of-towners who come on foot? This may or may not happen in some backwater South Asian town during the monsoon but it bears no resemblance to reality in the United States.And so what was this all building to? The further deification of Barack Obama, it would appear. Was it a love story? A story of justice for young Sameer? A tale of hope and inspiration in the face of adversity? Who knows? After nearly 3 hours, the viewer can't be sure of anything other than it's time for another song.

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
