My Name is Khan

Complete time pass flick.Highly over-rated. A pathetic script. I hate movies which are totally dedicated to one single star, just like MNIK built for Mr SRK. By the end of the movie, i almost felt like escaping out of the theatre. People will now throw eggs and tomatoes on me for such comments. But i cant help it if i find Karan Johar a waste director.

Plot:

This again goes back to 9/11. They have promised they wont let us get over that particular incident. No idea how many people died in this incident, but am v sure it cant be more than the victims of the recent eathquakes in Haiti or Chile or even any of such accidents in the history before 9/11 as well. But yet, we will always consider 9/11 as the biggest of all.

Anyway, Rizwaan Khan(SRK) is an autistic patient in the movie. Please dont mistake him for a brainless poor fellow :D He is actually v sharp. He can pick anythin up much quicker than any normal guy. Whatever he learns once, can never forget. He is almost an encylopedia of anythin and everythin. His family back in India consists of his poor mother and a younger brother, Zakir(Jimmy Shergil). Zakir always has a certain sense of insecurity from Rizwan, as Rizwan always gets more attention from his mom. They grow up, Rizwan turns out to be an early bread earner of the family. He can fix almost any machine. Zakir meanwhile flees out to US for highier studies in resentment.

Sometime later Zakir gets married, and calls his mom to US along with Rizwan. But before she could make her visit to US, she expires leavin Rizwan alone. Rizwan had promised his mother to be a happy man and make his own happy family. He sets out alone to US to his younger brother. Zakir is runnin a cosmetic company in US. He appoints Rizwan as one of the salesman there. Rizwaan is scared of 2 thins, viz yellow color and noise. One fine day, he faced both of his trauma causing reasons together in the middle of the road. That is where he first time comes across Mandira (Kajol). Looks like Karan just cudnt figure out how to introduce KAJOL. One stupid voice from behind and the person disappears instead of helpin the poor fellow, Rizwaan. :P Funny!! Thenafter he visits Mandira in a parlour, where she is a hair stylist. He endorses his bro's product and manages to sell it as well. Surprisingly Mandira was takin all the call to buy the products, herself being a mere employee :) Rizwan falls in love with her in the first sight itself. Now he is a regular visitor. Finds out all the details about Mandira. Mandira is a divorced mother of a teenager kid.

Now this time on, Rizwaan is crazy after Mandira, fallin every now and then on his knees proposin to her for getting married to him. Mandira avoids him for obvious reasons. Until and unless Rizwaan wins over a bet with Mandira, and she finally agrees to marry him :D How simple is that to woe a matured woman to take responsibility of an already challenged man along with her own growing kid :D But people, there's another strong reason after all :) Her kid Sameer starts likin the guy. Same old story repeated, a mother's heart n all that. Moral
of the story is, if u want to patao-fy a divorced mother, patao her kid first. :P Now they get married and are a happy family together. Rizwan stood upon the promise he made to his mother. Then happens the tragedy of 9/11. Same old story, all Asians are harrassed. And Muslims are even bigger victims. Post weddin, a Hindu Mandira has now become Mandira Khan. Now do i need to tell u the repurcussions of the same?? i dont think so :)

All the firangi frens are no more allies. Even the best fren of Sameer has left him. Next tragedy is Sameer's deadth. Karan tries to gain a lot of sympathy on this ground, while i was fuming with anger on my decision to watch this movie. The brave heart Sameer, takes all the unncessary panga with the senior students.Not just once, thrice, even after being beaten up already twice. Wat else do u expect guys, he was accidently killed by the big boys. His firang fren Reese is a witness but he is asked to keep his mouth shut. Mandira in despair turns Rizwaan out of her house. And when Rizwaan asks her, when he can get back, Mandira asks her to go and tell it to the entire US citizens, and why not the president of US directly, that he is a Khan, and he isnt a terrorist. Yes folks, that exactly is the reaosn why i am bound to mention this stupid conversation between Mandira and Rizwaan, cos this is the reason behind our Rizwaan to set out on a journey of his own to catch upon the president of US :P This turn off factor is a reason enough for me to leave the theatre.

But i continued, brave heart myself. :) But i wudnt waste a lot of my time commentin on the rest of the movie. Its a complete waste here after. The worst part are the scenes related to Hurricane hit US region in Georgia. First our hero Rizwan, followed by media people, in turn to be followed by bhai-bhabhi...even Mandira, and also not to leave alone his enemies, all gathered one by one to get to help or to hurt our hero,in the worst of the places, Hurricane hit Georgia :P Where people are dyin, no medical aid or anythin provided to them even by the govt, due to inaccessibility. But our filmi guys make it there. :) Worst part of the movie. And please dont be disappointed guys. Our hero will meet the president you know!!! Election happens in US, now the president is our Barack Obama who is played by a black actor :D And our Rizwan, not alone but with his wife meets the president, and finally tells him that he is Khan and not a terrorist. :D Applauds!!!! Sigh!!! What a story, what a waste of time.

No sympathy at all on anyone's death or misery in the movie. No romance at all between Kajol and SRK except for a few places where they talk bout sex :P Dull story, dull music. Not even any special appearance :D How on earth do u think will u sell this flick. Cheers to Karan Johar, he is simply brilliant. He managed not only to sell the movie without even a single hot scene or chic in the entire flick, but he even managed to make huge bucks out of it. He very well knows how to make business.

My Rating: 2/5
