My name is Khan

My name is Khán.. Kháán.. Rizvan Khán; from the epiglottis Kháán.

The film broke box office records and has had a Rs 250 million collection from the first Friday itself. eBay auctioned the tickets for a record price of EUR 1,000 (INR 60,000) each & all the tickets were sold out in five seconds.

In principle the movie is about humanity; in illustration about Islam and the way the world looks at Islam post 9/11 & the attempt is to get an apology from the authority who imbibed this thought into people. As Rizvan says he can “repair almost anything”, the movie leaves you with the sagacity of refurbished human relationships.
The movie is not about terrorism or religion, it’s a disabled man’s fight against the disability that exists in the world.

As per the grapevine, any talk on a 9yr old topic is claimed outdated, but the recent obstacles faced by SKR in real life go to say this movie is still needed as to put in place the last bricks and complete the bridge. The bridge that maps all caste and creed as one; “there are only two types of people, good and bad” – MINK.

On a lighter note, when I say Kareena Kapoor, Shabana Azmi & Aamir Bashir, would you think there is any link to this movie? These are the names of the starts who were replaced by Kajol, Zarina Wahab & Jimmy Shergill’s position respectively.

Kajol’s effortless lighthearted liveliness brings a softer tone to the movie.
All in all a very important global awareness script and beautiful attempt by the three K’s.
