My Name is Khan (2010 Movie)

I finally saw My Name is Khan, all by myself & alone. How cool is it to go to watch a  movie alone?? Well, I have done that in past. And I don't like talking during the movie anyways, or being stopped to laugh at jokes or being asked what was just said. So watching movie alone works for me. But the whole idea of going to watch a movie alone kinda sucks, kinda (that's not even a real word)!!

Well, I would say it is 7/10 movie. Yeah... some of you would be like, "that's too much for a SRK movie" and some would be like, "it deserves way more" (many would be like, "who are you to even say anything" lol). The idea & concept behind the movie is nice; Racial Profiling (my personal experiences), days in US after 9/11, effects of terrorism, Islam and lot more. There has been lots of movies in past all over the world touching this subject. But you don't expect that from Karan Johar. However, this has lots of emotional drama like any Johar's movie (none has made me cry/smile as much as K3G though). Movie is quit predictable as you know that's gonna happen. Hero will definitely get his mission (of meeting President) accomplished. There Bush look-alike was better than Obama look-alike though. Shahrukh's performance is nice, but I am not sure that was appropriate for Asperger Syndrome; he was acting kinda retarded (oops, I meant mentally challenged). At some places his acting is touching but kinda weird at some places as well. Kajol looks great even after so many years, actually looks better now; good performance as well. Zarina Wahab's performance as Shahrukh's mother and Tanay Chheda's performance as junior Shahrukh is really appreciable. Jimmy Shergil is good as usual; he's a nice actor and everything but only does good in supporting roles. Sonya Jehan is really good, in looks and acting both. But hey, Sumeet Raghvan & even Vinay Pathak in such meaningless roles. Vinay was still fine in his small but impactive role but Sumeet?? Dude, you were Mr Sarabhai, c'mon yaar!! No song and dance as well in the movie, some background scores which are just okay. Some portions & scenes are really good but some are just too obvious, over done or too slow. All I say is that if the movie si really good, you'll feel that good. And if you don't, then something is lacking. Overall, a decent movie but SRK, Kajol & Karan's trio could and should have done better... However one great message, "Any kind of discrimination based on race, religion, sex, nationality, origin or anything else is wrong; because there are only two kind of people in this world... Good or Bad!!!"
