MNIK - Incomplete review

My name is Khan…. And I’m not a TERRORIST

A story of love, tragedy, religion, determination, and poor innocence all of this merged into one beautiful story. My name is Khan is a definite must-watch!

It’s true that lately there is an overdose of movies based on terrorism, but my name is Khan takes a new turn and portrays it in a subtle yet firm approach.

What makes the movie so special is the lead role of ‘Rizwan Khan’ played by Shah Rukh Khan’ Shah Rukh, who has Asperger’s syndrome, a milder form of autism, impairs Rizan’s social communication skills and gives him some odd behavior patterns. Rizwan can’t stand loud sounds or bear to see the color yellow. He constantly rotates beads while murmuring a comforting prayer at times of stress. He can barely bring himself to be very physically close to someone, and therefore, avoids even hugging. Some look at him as being crazy, but, in fact, he proves them all wrong.

The scenes of Rizwan’s childhood are emotional and strong in the film, his mother is one of the few who truly understands rizwan’s condition, and teaches him the golden lessons of life, which he later applies at every stage of his life. the film’s delicate and touching scenes take a sudden turn , when we shift to San Francisco, and that is where Rizwan fall in love.

Despite his odd condition, and unusual ways, he finds love and a family with mandira, played by Kajol. Mandira has a son, Sam, from a previous marriage.
As most have already guessed the core of the film revolves around of the film revolves around Rizwan’s life after the 9/11 attack.
