Review of My Name Is Khan (2010) by Leo L — 23 Aug 2010
Amazing movie! Once again, Karan Johar directs an astonishing movie that parallels other great films within his collection. Here's a movie that brings two of Bollywood's greatest actor and actress together, again.
Rizvan (Shahrukh Khan) has Asperger's, and lives with his brother and sister-in-law in San Francisco. Selling herbal products, he meets Mandira (Kajol) and is quickly smitten. They form a strong friendship, and the two bond and begin to fall in love. They get married, and build a home together. Until the events of 9/11, they begin to experience the cruel discourse and mistreatment. It is a horrible tragedy that breaks their happy life, and Rizvan begins his journey of meeting the president and upholding a promise that he has made to his true love.
Here's a movie that strongly speaks out for itself, and defines a great message. When we begin to define ourselves by certain terms, we tend to forget that we are also human. We are connected by that distinct integrity, and blindingly forego acceptance. Racism. Hatred. Ignorance. It all goes hand in hand when we fail to look within our own selves. Phenomenal performance by Shahrukh Khan and Kajol.
Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, and Jimmy Shergill stars. Definitely worth seeing!!
