My Name Is Khan a never-before Shahrukh Khan-Karan Johar project

My Name Is Khan – the latest thing to create buzz in Bollywood. Apart from the fact that the film is a multi-budgeted movie shot in the visually pleasant exotic locations and that it is a Shahrukh Khan-Kajol starrer, what else can be noted as the positive points of the films? What are actually making the film the talk-of-the-town?

Let’s analyse…

1. Initially the hype has been because Shahrukh Khan and Kajol are paired after almost a decade. Who will disagree that they are the golden couple of Bollywood!

2. Bored of Karan Johar’s romantic movies? Try out MINK. It is way different from KJo’s earlier movies, including Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.

3. My Name Is Khan has the main storyline based on post 9/11 days but presented in a totally different way which makes the main plot secondary highlighting the religion-bias, romance and relationship factors mainly.

4. There have been movies made on different disorders…Black, Taare Zameen Par, U Me Aur Hum etc. But these films have the tendency to have the spotlight on the disorder and to let the audience know about it. But MNIK keeps the disorder message parallel with the main concept and also lets the audience know what Asperger’s Syndrome actually is.

5. Perhaps the most important message…not all Muslims are terrorists!

6. And the heart of the movie… It is not that the King Khan has starred in the film, but it is because SRK is in a totally new image which makes you forget about the star and keeps the Rizwan Khan effect throughout the movie. It is the acting and the presentation of his character that Shahrukh portrays in a totally new avatar which overshadows his own self.

Enough reasons to watch the film, right? What are your views? Have some more reasons? Post them…
