MY name is khan is not karan Johar typical popcorn romance,it leaps into territory and doves into a serious subject without totally slipping out of the old skin.Well the first half is as good as it could be,but the second half drops the graph,it is not like his same typical karan type with drama and over played emotions
the climax is too idealistic and conflicts are conviently resolved and length is long enough that u feel having witness the rule of two american presidents. The film takes on an expansive canvas: 9/11, post 9/11, racial abuse, homeland security laws, a hysterical US jurisprudence, .Yet, it rarely loses focus -- just here and there, post-interval -- and remains primarily the story of a good man who wants to live in a good world with good people around him. The film is brimming over with scenes that relentlessly move you to tears, not because they are sad, but because they are uplifting, inspirational and just sometimes heart-rending. Performance-wise, this undoubtedly towers as Shah Rukh's best act. He never once loses grip on his character, despite the mannerisms, the awkward body language and the distinct speech style.. Kajol's Mandira is a complete winner, with the actor pitching in such a restrained act in one of the most difficult scenes of the film, she simply blows you away. Zarina Wahab is unforgettable in a cameo and the kids are super. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music score is apt, while Ravi Chandran's camera captures San Francisco
my rating 3.5 out of 5
