Film Review: My Name Is Khan

Ok...I just finish watching My Name Is Khan. It's a Bollywood movie. Synopsis as follow:

Rizwan Khan (Shahrukh Khan) is a Muslim child who grew up with his brother Zakir and his mother (Zarina Wahab) in a middle class family in the Borivali section of Mumbai. Rizwan is different from other children as he has autism. However, he has certain gifts, particularly a special ability to repair things. His difference leads to special tutoring from a reclusive scholar and extra attention from his mother, all which leads to a heightened level of jealousy from his brother Zakir, who eventually leaves his family for a life in the United States .

Despite this resentment, as an adult Zakir (Jimmy Shergill) sponsors Rizwan (Shahrukh Khan) to come and live with him in San Francisco after the death of their mother. It is at this time that Zakir's wife, Haseena (Sonya Jehan) diagnoses Rizwan as having Asperger's syndrome. Rizwan also begins to work for Zakir and in the process he meets a Hindu woman, Mandira (Kajol) and her young son, Sameer or Sam (Yuvaan Makaar), from a previous marriage. Mandira is a hairdresser by profession. Despite Zakir's hostility to the match, they marry and settle down in the fictional town of Banville, where both Mandira and Sameer take Rizwan's last name as their own. They also live next door to the Garrick family. Sameer is close to their young son, Reese (Kenton Duty and Michael Arnold) while Mark (Dominic Renda) is a reporter and Sarah (Katie A. Keane) is a friend of Mandira.

My take on this movie:

1) If i must put it into other film perspective, it's a Forrest-Gump-meet-Crash. Yes, both Forrest Gump and Crash won Oscar. Does this reflect on this movie?

2) Bad part: Some of the scene just fairy tale, out of this world, out of logic. The Bollywood factor I guess.

3) Good part: Good gesture to view post-9/11 from Asians POV with regards racial tension, racial profiling and racial discrimination faced by Asians in America.

4) Some dialog scene could lengthy and freaking boring.

5) One bonus features: Autism features in the movie. Good blend. Honest SRK's character help build the sympathetic view on the character experience.

6) Impactful repetative dialog: My name is Khan and I'm not a terrorist.

7) It tells about family and relationship more than it tells about post-9/11. It's interrelated between how life could be built and destroyed in a blink of eyes due to discrimination.

8) Good people and bad people. It's the humanity that made people good or bad, not their religion.

9) No obvious dancing scene. Thank GOD for that.

10) It could offend you in some way. The film offend me when interfaith marriage shown in the film while both party retaining their religion.

I must say, it does touching my sense. I feel content though it might not make full. It's a bit of a bore but worth watching.
