Simply outstanding. Review on My Name is Khan

Well finally My name is khan released and also released in Maharashtra giving a befitting reply to shiv sena that eventually good always prevails over bad. I thank the people of mumbai for their courage and their love for shahrukh. Well like expected my name is khan opened with a bang all over the world and is giving tough competition to 3 idiots and I felt the same thing after watching the movie which I had felt after watching 3 idiots. It is simply outstanding like 3 idiots. Shahrukh khan also gave a befitting reply to all those who had said after the release of 3 idiots that shahrukh is nothing in front of aamir and that shahrukh should learn acting from aamir. He has silenced everyone with his powerhouse performance.

Well  my name is khan is the story of rizwan khan who is suffering from Asperger's syndrome. He lives with his mother in mumbai. His younger brother goes to america for work and settles there. After some years he sponsors his mother and also rizwan. But his mother dies soon and after that he takes rizwan with him to san francisco. There he gives rizwan the job of selling beauty products in various salons across the city. Rizwan, due to his autism problem, faces a lot of difficulty in crossing roads and finding places and selling things. One day he goes to a salonand there he meets mandira played by kajol. Soon he becomes a good friend of mandira and a very strong relationship starts building bet'n the two.

Soon rizwan finds out that mandira is a divorcee and a single mother of a 10 year old boy.But this doesn't hamper their relation and then they decides to get married. After their marriage the shocking 9/11 terror attack happens in america which completely changes their lives forever. Muslims in america starts getting attacked and people's attitude towards them changes. One day their 10 year old son gets beaten up badly by a group of young americans bcoz of his religion. He dies and mandira gets devastated and accuses rizwan and his religion for her son's death and tells rizwan to go and tell the people of america and the president of us that he is not a terrorist and only then he can come back to her. Rizwan takes the anger of mandira seriously and starts a journey to meet the president of us and on the way he meets various people and builds various relations and redeems a lot of lives and spreads the message of love and peace wherever he goes.

MNIK is a beautiful movie giving a beautiful message of love and peace and proving to the world that all Muslims are not terrorists and Muslim religion is a religion of love and peace. All the people who hates muslim community should definitely see mnik. All the people who hates shahrukh should see mnik. All the people who wants to see a mature, sensitive and a different karan johar movie should see mnik. Kudos to karan johar for making a movie which is completely different from his usual candyfloss romantic melodramatic movies. MNIK doesn't at all look like a karan johar film in any way. Karan has brilliantly directed the movie and he has definitely matured.

The dialogues in the movie are real and natural. Cinematography is superb and beautiful locations of sanfrancisco and the rest of america are shot brilliantly. The screenplay is a bit weak in the first half but becomes extremely engaging and powerful in the second half. The music of the film is excellent and is very melodious and songs like sajdaa, tere naina and noor-e -khuda are superb.  The movie has an international feel to it and looks grand and big but there are no typcal karan johar style of huge sets, elaborate costumes and loud song and dance. The movie looks real and is very subtle and everything is natural and real.

But the movie works big time is because of  outstanding performances by its two main actors. Kajol is simply breathtaking and her performance is as usual outstanding. Look at her performance in the scene when her son dies and she cries over her dead body and u will get goosebumps over your body. Shahrukh has given his career best performance. He looks and acts exactly like an autistic person and that is his victory. He simply steals your heart in this movie with his mature restrained subtle performance. SRK-KAJOL pair once again creates magic onscreen. Both looks superb together. All the other actors also portrays their part convincingly.

Overall, my name is khan is a must watch and is simply outstanding.
