My Name is Khan movie review
On the whole, MY NAME IS KHAN is a fascinating love story, has an angle of religion and a world-shaking incident as a backdrop. It not only entertains, but also mesmerises, enthrals and captivates the viewer in those 2.40 hours. At the same time, a film like MY NAME IS KHAN is sure to have a far-reaching influence due to its noble theme. I strongly advocate, don't miss this one!.
Mumbaikars defied Shiv Sena’s diktat and gave a thumbs-up to Shahrukh Khan starer My Name Is Khan on Friday after the movie releases amidst protests from Bal Thackrey’s party. The fear and scepticism over the release of the movie ended on a jubilant note with as manIt has been speculated that the film is set in the aftermath of 9/11 and has SRK playing a Muslim man who becomes a terror suspect in the US. But the superstar denied it at the unveiling ofthe film’s first look.
Throwing light on the film’s subject, SRK told the mediapersons at the event: “Unlike the rumors, it’s not about terrorism or 9/11. It’s about a relationship between two people – between an individual and the State, and between an individual and the country. In short, three important components – love story, Islam and a mild form of autism – form the core ofMy Name Is Khan”
The movie has SRK playing a Muslim character named Rizwan Khan. Half of the film’s story is based on the story of a real couple in the US. The other half has been conceived by Karan Johar and screenplay writer Shibani Bhatija.y as 40 odd theatres in the city [
My Name Is Khan and I am not a terrorist. The phrase not only has caught up with the audience like an anthem, but it also comes at a very crucial stage in the very beginning of the movie which accelerates the story further. I am not a huge Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar fan, but I have always felt that both have a tremendous potential to showcase their talent if given a strong script like My Name Is Khan. If you are looking for an entertainment movie like any other Karan Johar movies than you will definitely feel disappointed because the movie is not a regular Karan Johar love story. The story is about the spirit of humanity and how far one man can go to prove his love is stronger than all the false ideologies that we have about religion.
The story revolves around Rizwan Khan (Tanay Chheda) who grows up with his younger brother Zakir and a widowed mother in a middle class family, but suffers from autism. Though people consider Rizwan as mentally handicap, he is perfectly intelligent and good at repairing machines. He receives more attention from his mother which creates a kind of jealousy in the heart of Zakir who eventually prefers to move apart to United States for a better life. After the death of their mother, Zakir (Jimmy Shergill) sponsors Rizwan (Shah Rukh Khan) to United States and introduces him to his wife Haseena (Sonya Jehan) who is a psychiatrist and she confirms that Rizwan suffers from Asperger's syndrome. Rizwan begins to work under Zakir as a beauty products salesman and meets Mandira (Kajol) who runs a beauty salon. Mandira is a single mother and lives with his son Sameer (Yuvaan Makaar). Gradually Rizwan and Mandira come closer to each other and despite Zakir's disapproval they get married and begin to live a happy life, but their happiness is short-lived. One fine morning 9/11 happens and it changes the course of American history and lives of several Muslim people living in the United States and Rizwan is just one of them. Their beauty salon sales are hit because of the name tag "Khan" attached to it and their son Sameer dies in a racial school fight. Mandira is unable to bear the burden and shatters completely under the circumstances and blames Rizwan for all the happening. How Rizwan goes all the way to prove his love for Mandira and that he is not a terrorist is something really worth watching.
To be very honest, I hardly watch Karan Johar movies because they are nothing more than a typical masala entertainment, but this time Karan Johar has handled a very sensitive subject with immense care. The plot does not have any favorism for any religion or sections of society and still comes out with a strong message that humanity is above any religion and full credit goes to Shibani Bathija for a powerful multi-layered story and screenplay that holds the attention of the viewers from scene one.
Shah Rukh Khan once again proves that he is the Badshah of Bollywood and if you enjoyed his serious performances in Chak De or Swades, I am sure you will love this one as well. Kajol is a power-house of acting and her performance tells us that talent is permanent and does not fade with time even if you are not performing. Jimmy Shergill does justice to his supporting role along with Sonya Jehan. Music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy is always at its best and songs like Sajda and Noor-e-Khuda are very soothing to ears. Technically, the cinematography by Ravi Chandran is awesome, especially the ariel shots are splendidly done and crisp editing by Deepa Bhatia makes the overall movie watching experience worthwhile. I would like to tell my readers that though there are news that the collection figures of the movie has slide down in the second week, I would humbly request that checkout this awesome movie and decide for yourself. I am sure when you walk out of the movie hall you will be happy that you made a good decision and followed your heart
