Yesterday I had the pleasure of finally watching the much talked about Movie “My Name is Khan” Personally, I enjoyed the movie a lot. These were 3 hours well spent but a part of was ever so slightly disappointed too. Perhaps, I walked in with false expectations. I wanted the movie to stringently convey the message – that not all Muslims all terrorists. Even through out the movie they singed the hymn “My Name is Khan and I am not a terrorist” I still didn’t find it convincing enough. Perhaps, the ending wasn’t appropriate. Mr. Khan spent 3 hours traveling across America just to meet the president only to say “I am not a terrorist” and get a meaningless “I know” in reply? I wanted to see him go up there and deliver a overly dramatic and ridiculously emotional speech. A speech so powerful where the President or Mr. Khan strongly makes the point that its incorrect to stereotype an entire religion based on the actions of few wayward infidels.

I didn’t like:

1. Kajol’s unibrow – If you plan on acting on a big budget Bollywood movie which is destined to hit theaters across the world please take time to trim the uni-brow.
2. The Simplicity – I know they wanted to show SRK, a Muslim, as a good ordinary citizen but they over did it. Georgia gets hit by a hurricane and America decides to ignore it because their military is over in Iraq. Therefore, our hero takes the pledge to save the people. If it was so easy to get in and out of town; why didn’t the people leave? Or Why didn’t any other emergency service get there?
3. The Ending – A disappointing end to a otherwise likable movie.

Other than the aforementioned things I had a great time. It’s a nicely made movie and actors have done great justice to the script. I would advice everybody to go and watch this movie. Three hours well spent. :)
