Rizwan khan ,an undiagnosed autistic(aspergers actually) moves to San Francisco after his mother dies not before teaching him all about secularism. While Working in a cosmetic shop for his brother and selling them ,Rizwan falls in love with a hair dresser Mandira.The rest of the movie deals with the couple trying hard to save their love amidst cultural discrimination against Muslims that seem to tear them apart.

MY NAME IS KHAN is a kind of movie that will have you seriously thinking about secularism and at the same time will make you smile or at times will bring a lump in the throat with moist eyes.You will find yourself seamlessly connecting with KHAN and you cant help but accept the fact that Sharukh khan, who has mostly been 'the lover boy' of India cinema SO many times that it actually made you sick, is actually one of India s FINEST actor. KAJOL playing a distressed mother delivers a flawless performance that will remain in your mind long after you have left the theater and probably you will recall every time you hear her name or see a distressed mother in real life.It is that strong.

JOHAR as a director has matured with his audience and has moved far away from his silly rom coms or melodramatic family dramas to this very meaningful love yarn.

This movie tat grips you for the most part suddenly slips in the end with a climax that was predictable, nothing wrong with that ,but a bit too much of over-dramatic background score and over acting will leave a small halo where you would expect the filmmaker to wrap up the enjoyable show with a final master stroke.

Nevertheless definitely worth your time because rarely a movie comes along that will make you think if YOU have been unfair sometimes and if YOU need to change your biased perspective. This movie might just raise such uneasy doubts in you yet in the best way possible.8/10
