Review of My Name Is Khan (2010) by Cynthia S — 18 Oct 2010
This movie is a bit overly sentimental in a Forrest Gump kind of way--which isn't all bad if you're in the mood for a feel-good movie. And like those films, the message it sends, while rather cliche, is a worthy one.
One that, sadly, we often need to be reminded of. There are several unexpected twists and turns in the plot that keep it fresh, and the performances by Kajol and Shahrukh Kahn are very engaging. A few cheesey sets (poorly executed computer-generation, I'd guess) and some over-the-top, unrealistic scenes that might have been cut to trim down the 2-1/2 hour film, but all in all a really nice film.
Not typical Bollywood stuff.
