My name is khan Review

The movie is about a man’s determination to meet the president and tell him that His name is Khan & he is not a terrorist.

Pluses:

1.King Khan-It takes extreme guts to play this role, a role where the character has major disabilities & fears. King Khan’s major capability is his ability to emote. In this movie that power has been revoked due to the physical limitations of the character. So with a dead pan face & no scope to show his feelings; he has to express himself through only the dialogues provided to him. Credit must be given to KJO & SRK that they have been able to credibly do the same.

2.Kajol-Her name is Kajol & she is one of the best actresses ever. Period. Wow, what a performance, as a single mom who loves her kid or as the wife of rizwan khan everything about her performance is awesome. In fact, the movie was meandering in the beginning but as soon as kajol comes on screen…It’s has an electrifying effect. For all producers & directors & actors who use female actors as props without a proper role, this movie shows that a well written female character can be a very good addition to the movie & not a drawback.

3.Director-By far the best movie of KJO.

Minuses:

1.The movie takes its own sweet time in building a momentum. So some patience is needed for fully liking this flick. Also the movie is atleast 10-15 minutes too long. The Georgia sequence in pre-climax was unnecessary.

2.The reaction of Kajol after she comes to know that her son is a race attack victim is way over the top. I do understand that a person may say a lot when she/he is angry but still the way she accused rizwan & her dialogues in the football ground were a bit over.

3.Who gave KJO the brilliant idea of getting a dupe of president Obama. It was a very bad decision & caused un-intentional laughter.

Verdict: This is a very sweet simple movie which gave just one message…LOVE. It tells us to not be diplomatic in replies but instead tell the truth. Do watch it for brilliant performances by King Khan & Kajol.
