My Name Is Khan – Movie Review

My Name Is Khan

[Rating: 4/5]

My Name is Karan Johar and I dont make bad movies.

Maybe its high time Karan Johar went out on National Television and said that.

There is a moment in the movie where Rizwan Khan (Shah Rukh Khan) is narrating about the moment when he was first told that he suffered from Asperger Syndrome. He casually says:

I didnt know that my entire life could have been summed up in two words “Asperger Syndrome”

That moment is so quick and the narration is so subtly simple that the pain of Rizwan echoed thru the mind. There is another moment in the movie where young Rizwan(immaculately portrayed by Tanay Chheda) looks at his brother crying in the arms of his mother and says “At-least he can cry”.

Its moments like those that are the heart and soul of My Name is Khan.

3 Idiots Poster
[rating:4/5]

Boasting of powerful star cast of Aamir Khan. Kareena Kapoor, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi and Boman Irani; and directed by the unfailing Rajkumar Hirani from the Munnabhai fame, 3 Idiots in many ways was one of the most expected movies of the year. The movie not only stood up to expectations but went on to blow away every single box office record there was.

3 Idiots is the story about 3 aspiring engineering students, their college life, their goals and also an commentary on the perceived idea of how education must be done. Based on a book, Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat, the movie combines rib tickling comedy with heart warming emotion to get the message to its audience.
