Undertaking a name I have always wanted to undertake, doing something I have always wanted to do.

My name is Khan - Bollywood's Forrest Gump is born. \m/


MNIK rocks !! Yes, truly. If 3 idiots blew you away, this one will sway you like the wind !! Yay !! Ok, ok. I am controlling. This is my first review on an SRK's movie. As big a fan I am and as honoured as I am, I promise to be honest, fair and audience-centered. Here goes my review on MNIK.

PLOT : Rizvan Khan (SRK),(Khan from the epiglottis) the protagonist suffers from Asperger's Syndrome, an autism. The movie starts with his flashback as a kid, showing his deficiency and also his intelligience. His mom, is loving and accepts him as any other kid. But his brother, who doesn't like this tries to stay away. Zakir(Jimmy Shergill)(the brother), now grown up moves to USA and gets married. Their mother dies and Rizvan moves in with Zakir, helping him out in the business of beauty products as a salesman. He meets Mandira(Kajol), a divorced mother who has a son Sameer studying in Junior High. He falls in love, gets married and they become one happy family. Then 9/11 happens. Everything is changed. Friends become enemies. Indians are all of a sudden, hate to the Americans. Sameer gets killed. Kajol now wants to leave Rizvan and regrets having married a Khan. Rizvan is ready to do anything for her and on her order leaves. To meet the president of the USA, just to give a message. What is it ? What happens finally ? Does Rizvan meet him ? Does the world change for Indians in USA? Get ready to be amazed, thrilled and moved on a Journey that takes you all over USA along with one man. . . Khan.

Shah Rukh is ready to bag all the awards this year. What with the brilliant performance and all. Kajol, awesome as ever. Karan Johar has also hit back big, after the dud KANK.

RATING : ***** (My first 5 stars ever ! Yay !)

WATCH OR MISS : Watch or you will be sorry.

If Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump moved America, SRK as Rizvan will move the world. MNIK has lived up to it's hype. Arguably, exceeded it. I need to book tickets again !! Ciao ! (BTW, I picked up this marry me thing from SRK in the movie. So, any of my lady friends who see me doing this, please, dont be alarmed). :D :D
