Khuda Kay Liye, New York, Kurbaan, and now MNIK, all with a common theme, how post 9/11 prejudices have affected lives, those of East Asians, the Hindus, the Muslims, the Sikhs, residing in USA. While KKL was an extremely well made look on the gloomy lives of Pakistani's caught in the turmoil, NY and Kurbaan turned out to be merely "entertaining" stuff. Now, what to expect from the king of family melodrama, Karan Johar. But, he surprised me .

MNIK reunites SRK and Kajol after a very long period. Kajol i remember last in Fanaa, a film with a mediocre script, but raised to awesome levels by Aamir and Kajol's gritty portrayals.. SRK last really touched a good string in CDI... RNBDJ was more of a parody, a very good one, with real heartwarming schlock thrown in..

MNIK deals with the post 9/11 issues with a "special" person and a very special woman thrown in between, who try to overcome odds, be it in a cinematic manner, to put through an important message "KHAN doesn't equals terrorism". Many wannabe reviewers have rated it badly, like those at PFC and even many here, but I couldn't get their point... Isn't cinema supposed to be fantastic? Isn't it supposed to be swashbuckling and epic in scope? And with all this, if it addresses some issues too, isn't that wonderful? Liberties are to be taken with a pinch of salt. I wish SRK, KjO, Kajol, and all associated with MNIK a hearty congrats for making a good movie, not just another "coz i'm a hero, i'll be very successful in the end of film" saccharine fluff like 3 idiots... Only fools call themselves Idiots, real people call themselves "intelligent"... Hopefully SRK wont go back to Farah khan's parody land ...
