My Name Is Khan Movie Review

“My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist”. These few words depict the entire storyline of the movie. It is all about an extraordinary journey of an ordinary man to meet the president of the United States, just to tell these words. The movie is a mix of everything  – 9/11 episode, torture of Muslims & Katrina in New Orleans. Sounds like a perfect masala flick to capture on the tide of recent terrorism-related flicks? It isn’t and My Name is Khan is a new chapter in Indian Cinema, despite a very predicting storyline. Also, the movie divides the world in 3 eras – B.C., A.D. & Post 9/11.

Karan Johar has to applauded for his brilliant attempt and once again showcasing the power of Indian cinema. My name is Khan touches the heart of every audience right from the start. It’s a powerful and emotional storytelling tale of a man who lost his love & everything in post 9/11 era.  Shahrukh Khan plays the role of Rizwan Khan who suffers from Asperger’s syndrome. He moves to San Francisco to live with his brother after the demise of their mother. There he meets Mandira who is a divorcee and also has a 10 years old child. They soon fall in love and gets married. Rest is to be seen in the theatres to witness a brilliant directorial attempt.

The movie marks the return of Bollywood’s best screen couple for the last 2 decades – Shahrukh and Kajol. Kajol is at his best as always and the on-screen couple once again creates magic. However, the movie belongs to one and only Shahrukh Khan. This has man has beyond imagination capability of carrying a movie on his shoulders. Shahrukh once again proves that stardom is not earned overnight & there is tremendously hard work behind every success.  This one is the best act by Sharukh at par with his performance in award-winning Chal De India. In fact, there is not much in the storyline of the movie, only things which hold viewers till the end is Shahrukh Khan. Not all actors are blessed with such power.

Very few drawbacks of the movie include its long length & predictable storyline. The movie is running to packed houses worldwide and this one can’t be missed. My Name is Khan has made a collection of 25 crores on Friday alone, so keep your fingers crossed.

Final Verdict: Stop reading reviews and rush to theatres if you are lucky enough to get a ticket.
