My Name Is Khan Movie reviews

Mayank Shekhar : Hindustan Times A commercially successful, massively scaled mainstream film that doesn’t just make a song and dance of it all could certainly change Bollywood forever. Of all, I’m glad Johar also made that move. Sure, this movie’s a risk. Shouldn’t each be anyway? Gaurav Malani : INDIATIMES MOVIES Like his placard that reads ‘Repair almost anything’, Shah Rukh Khan makes up for every minor inconsistency in the film. My Name is Khan is worth a watch on his name alone. india-server.com ‘My Name is Khan’ is definitely a movie of substance and is a must watch for both Shah Rukh’s fans and the ones wanting to see a logical nice movie! Anupama Chopra : movies.ndtv.com Rizwan is undeniably the best thing about My Name is Khan. Shah Rukh’s performance has little subtlety about it – for that watch Hugh Dancy doing Asperger’s in Adam – but it is heartfelt, endearing and more controlled than anything he’s ever done before. Watch him in a lovely scene in which Kajol accept...

Shahrukh Khan: A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed!

It was very much a party to remember when Hrithik Roshan (actually his wife Suzanne) had invited the entire young gang of bollywood for the birthday party which took place after awards function. Now what we all know by now is that ShahRukh invited all of them to his house ‘Mannat’ after the party . As everyone got together there at his place, there was a slight bit of an uncomfortable chill that was seen amongst the guests. Now that there was some bit of tension was immediately noticed by King Khan. He soon realized that it was due to the presence of the two not so good friends Abhishek Bachchan and Viviek Oberoi. Thus, true to his name the enigmatic Khan got up and made the ice thaw between them. According to a close source, the whole situation was handled with great care and maturity and ShahRukh with his boyish charm made all his guests very comfortable so as to mingle with ease and enjoy the party which they all needed to unwind their jaded nerves. After that what went on till...

Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan – how about a movie starring them all?

What if the three Khans of Bollywood come together in a Hindi movie? I know it’s almost impossible to cast them all together, but still no harm to imagine, right? Let’s see the movie through our mind’s eye… 1. Title of the movie – “Hello Brothers” (derived from Salman’s Hello Brother!)? Or “Bollywood ke 3 Taare Zameen Par” (Aamir’s Taare Zameen Par)? Or the best name…“Our name is Khan”! No better option, I guess! 2. Producer – Keeping in mind that both SRK and Aamir have produced films before, either one of them could be randomly picked as an option. 3. Story writer – This one for Salman Khan please! He couldn’t be the producer so let him be the writer for the movie. Well, he actually wrote for “Veer”. 4. Director – Ashutosh Gawarikar or Sanjay Leela Bhansali…both have worked with either two of the actors . 5. Lead Female – Rani Mukherji, Kareena Kapoor and Kajol. Actors free to choose their ladies! All of them have worked with all the three Khans. 6. Story – Three brothers’...

This person suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome, which is an autism disorder and is characterised by difficulties in social interaction and behaviour. Half of the film is a true story based on a couple’s life in LA. Karan bought the rights of the story from them.

It’s very unnerving and I salute parents who bring up children with any disorders,” said SRK.
