Name Defines and Defies

"My Name Is Khan" defines as well as defies... I would certainly love to quote on dialog which, to me , was the best [and authentic], given to the social set up of the modern world. It goes like this, narrated by Rizwan Khan [played by the superb Sharukh Khan]: "पहले तारीख को लोग दो तरह से मानते थे, B.C और A.D . अभी तीसरा तारीख भी आ गया, 9/11." {Previously the dates were distinguished as B.C and A.D, but now there is a third category; 9/11}. A stand out performance and to me one of the greatest screenplay posed by the Mr. Karan Johar with his favorite pair, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, which now a days people popularly term as ShaJol.

Although amongst the ShaJol starrers, I will fondly remember Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hain, but MNIK stands at pinnacle given the acting of Aspergers Syndrome. Played around the 11th September, 2001 incident of World Trade Center plane bash, this film has subtle morality to be taught. Added with some fairy tale spices like people coming to rescue flooded after seeing Rizwan helping the people , the film talks about humanity that can be achieved by the religion!

Islam, as considered by most all around the world as the most feared and terror prone religion. Starting from Al Qaida to Mujaheedins to Talibans, classify as the terror outfits! This puts the lasso round the neck of other Islamics, thanks to the name they bear and the cult they follow! All because of certain handful insects that take birth in their clan! Jihad, as I understand was to bring in peace against oppression! The terror outfits make that as a ritual to maintain terror the world over!

I don't know how fast we will be able to segregate the terrorists from the innocent rather than tagging on the basis of religion! It is also a fact to be noted that why are all the terrorists from Muslim origin? Oppression for which Jihad started must still be omnipresent, which we should stop so as to live in peace and let our future be in safe custody!

Review: 9/10.

1) Aspergers Syndrome depicted by Mr. Khan comes out perfectly with the inability to express emotions, albeit understanding them. For more click here. It is sort of Autistic in nature, having problem in the cognitive function [Cerebellar/Basal Ganglial] and verbal non-co-ordination [Brocal center]

2) The intelligence and the urge to never give up with the urge to do something needed a stand up appreciation. I would certainly bring to note about the way Rizwan donated US$500, although others had a cause to hold, he did never mind because he was stopped from entering the charity dinner on religion bias!

3) The child death and the ill treatment that an Asian bear while in States or for instance in other countries., The pain increases when the name of Ali, Khan, Haider, etc be on the documents! Mr. Khan just wanted to say: My Name is Khan and I am not a Terrorist!

4) Kajol's acting... Best when she cried over her son's death bed!
