TheMidayMasala’s Review of: My Name is Khan!

My Name is Khan is a film about humanity, the human spirit and it speaks to the heart and soul of every individual who believes in the goodness of people.

The fact that Karan Johar was able to seamlessly weave the love story of Rizvan Khan and Mandira in a post 9/11 world with such realness, empathy and subtlety = EPIC!!!!!

5 Reasons you NEED to see MNIK (don’t forget that huge box of tissues!)

1. Shahrukh Khan. Whatever you think of SRK up til now, leave it behind. This SRK incomparable to any other SRK you’ve ever seen. He is no longer Rahul, that cutesy romantic leading man, he is Rizvan Khan the sweet, charismatic aam-person who suffers from Aspergers Syndrome, believes in good deeds and is too perfect in reel/real life. SRK will win every damn award ever this year and next. Promise.

2. Kajol. If you’ve been dying to see sparks, electricity and magnetism hypnotise you on screen then your prayers have been answered in this K-Jo film! Kajol is just amazing, in every scene, in every angle and in every way. Flawless beauty with a flawless performance. No more words to add here.

3. These 3 specific songs will stir your bones. (You can use half of that tissue box during the song sequences! We warned you!)

4. Karan Johar. As a storyteller and best friend to SRK + K, expectations were high for this film. But ONLY ONLY KJo could’ve surpassed then x a bajill which he has clearly done. The love story, the heartbreak, the tragedy and the pain is conveyed so convincingly in each scene that you want to reach out and cheer/console Rizvan and Mandira at many points in the film. KJo for Best Director of the year/decade/century. Period.

5. The script. The narrative of the film was emotional and moving with the right amount of humor, romance and overarching theme of peace.  The script dealt with incidents in the post 9/11 without too much melodrama and exaggeration which made the scenes so easy to relate to. The best part of MNIK was the message of the film, the message of tolerance, love and peace. One of the most well-written and poignant scripts in the history of Indian cinema.

6/5 mirchies.
