My Name Is Khan!
As this is my first ever blog post and review I hope that you will give it warm welcome!
A simple journey of a Muslim man Rizwan Khan who wants to prove to the world and to the President of the United States of America that he is not a terrorist. His wife Mandira, a Hindu single mother falls in love with the innocence of Rizwan's love. As the movie unfolds their love story, you feel the happiness and you feel the pain.
This story is realistic.
Rizwan Khan, he is very happy about his religion and very proud. He only knows that if you are bad...that bad things are going to happen to you. If you are good then good things will happen to you. Even when bad things happen to him, he never blames anyone. He goes beyond the blame game and sets on correcting his ways. The great thing about Rizwan is that no matter what event or person comes in his way he meets the President of the United States just to say 'My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist!'
Mandira she is the perfect mother and wife but she blames Rizwan failing to understand what is happening. She allows her feelings to surrender to hatred. A direct opposite to Khan, yet Khan never sees fault in it.
Ammi is Rizwan's mother is everything for Rizwan. She gave him the essence life. She understands her son without questioning why he is the way he is.
Sam the son of Mandira and Rizwan, the reason why Rizwan goes on his journey and it is Sam who guides Rizwan's footsteps to achieve his goal.
The music is awesome. Sajda makes you rejoice, Noor-E-Khuda grabs your heart and Tere Naina lasts with you!
Here by writing a first review for My Name Is Khan I want to disclose what this movie meant for me.
The movie shows how the only difference in human beings is whether we are good or bad. Religion is the path we choose on our own accord to guide us to become a good person. The film doesn't get out of your mind but when you come down and think about the sensitive message of the film. People may claim that the movie is slow...but think about it...the film is a journey of the good guy. When we are on life's journey, is it very fast for us? Or do events in our life slowly unravel in front of us?
When you leave the theatre and if you are with friends, take my advice...don't discuss the movie until you have had 10 minutes to recall the movie and its messages. The film first hits you like any other movie but when you absorb the messages, you just realize that you went through an experience alongside Rizwan Khan.
I felt that love should be like Rizwan's. It should be unconditional and full of pure innocence. I feel so inspired by the message that the movie gives. Truly I do feel that I need to become more like Rizwan.
The most important thing…The movie is NOT about terrorism, it is a love story at the core! This movie has made me appreciate Islam even more. The subject has been dealt with respect and the sensitivity has been realized earlier on hence such a powerful movie.
Good people will accept this movie and will welcome the message into their lives. I don’t want to comment about bas people. A movie that contains so many little but effective messages needs to be watched more than once. One cannot capture it all in one viewing!
This may contain spoilers and it is my opinion. Everyone loved it and people laughed at the right times and there was even clapping at the end!
The movie beyond the expectations. I am giving it a 5. Watch it !
Last but not the least……..
Shah Rukh Khan gives his best performance to date. One wonders where was Shah Rukh Khan here because all I saw was Rizwan Khan! Those who doubted his performance will now regret those words because no actor in the Bollywood can match up to the acting that SRK has done. This performance proves to the world why he is the most popular actor in the world. He proves to the world that he is one of the best actor's to come out of Bollywood. The way he remains expressionless when a normal person would feel something...that is a very hard thing to do, but SRK makes it look easy. He has set a new milestone and has proven yet again.
