My Name Is Khan...And I Am Not A Terrorist

This was one of the best films to come out of Bollywood.Period.

Nothing beats the experience i had today watching this movie.Directed by enormously talented Karan Johar,starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in ,perhaps, their career best performances to date, "My Name Is Khan" had all the ingredients in almost perfect proportions to be more than just a great film.Rizwan Khan,the main protagonist played by SRK,is an Asperger's Syndrome(a disorder that makes it difficult for people to interact socially)  victim.He,however,has a special gift-he can repair almost any thing.After a turn of events,he finally settles down with Mandira, played by Kajol,a divorcee with a child named Sam from her previous marriage.And they seem to live really happy together.Untill 9-11.

The Khan family begins to experience the post 9-11 prejudice in their community which is about to bring havoc on them.In a racially motivated teenage fight Sam accidentally dies and for this Mandira blames Rizwan for his being a "Khan" and bursts out at him, telling him to go and tell all the people of America and the President, "My name is khan and i am not a terrorist". This is where Rizwan enters even more into the heart of the viewers by setting on a journey to meet the President, and in this journey he shows us his indestructible determination,no-bounds boldness and his sheer belief in himself -that make him unique in his own rights.He even saves,with his can-repair-anything ability, lives of the people in the hurricane-hit state Georgia, including Mama Jenny who he had befriended a while back.His efforts attract media attention, and with the help of some news reporters, he proves before the world he is not a terrorist and finally,after so many unsuccessful attempts,gets to meet the President-elect Barack Obama.

A message movie at its best entertainment-ly inspired look and feel,a noble effort by Karan Johar and most importantly the totally gripping keeping-you-hooked-to-your-seat performance by Shah Rukh Khan in his most endearing avatar ever.
