My name is khan movie review, SRK My Name Is Khan gets rousing response across the nation. Despite far right Shiv Sena’s threats Shah Rukh Khan’s film My Name Is Khan opened with a spectacular show across India. Many trade observers said that it was a great opening for a film of this sort.
Despite the contradictory signals from Shiv Sena, the Hindutva party from Maharashtra that has lost much of its influence in the last few years and found this issue to give it good highlight in national and vernacular media, the enthusiasm for the film was great.
From Bangalore to New Delhi, Chennai and Hyderabad, besides all other big and small cities and towns, the film opened to full house.
In fact in Delhi it was impossible for anyone to get hold of the ticket. In almost all the cinema houses showing the film, the theatres were hundred percent booked for the next four days.
Many said that even Aamir Khan’s film Three Idiot didn’t had such an spectacular run on the first day of the show.
Many reviewers have already dubbed it as the best Shah Rukh khan movie ever saying that this is the first film where despite being a Khan he is not looking a Shah Rukh Khan.
He is a consummate love song type actor who repeats same sorts of roles in every film with slight difference, but here he is playing the character of a Muslim who is being hounded post 9/11.
In the meantime Despite Shiv Sena threats more than a dozen cinema halls showed the movie and all the shows were housefull.
This must be a big slap on both cheeks of Shiv Sena’s …….
But alas the film that is shot on a US theme and in US itself may not get many audiences there. A Guardian report rightly sums it up, “It's stunningly shot, on mostly US locations, and tackles plenty of hard topics – its deceptively light touch gets heavier as things progress. It's a shame that much of the intended audience will not see this well-intentioned, slickly constructed and just plain likable film, for reasons that are very little to do with the film itself.”
My Name is Khan: Movie Review
Shahrukh wont apologise to Shiv Sena
The Shahrukh Khan- Shiv Sena war of words is showing no signs of ending. The Bollywood superstar has refused to apologise for his comments where he backed the Pakistani players for the third season of the IPL. Addressing a press conference in London on Wednesday, King Khan said that he believed in what he said and there was no reason why he should apologise to anybody.
Shahrukh said "I would not apologise. I said what I believe in as an Indian. I haven't said anything personally against anyone. I would apologise to my director, co-stars, business partners if because of me, the film is affected. It's really sad, makes me rethink. I have apologised in the past if my film has caused offence - to hairstylists for Barber. But here, what am I supposed to apologise for? It's just very sad,"
The My Name Is Khan actor added "I think what I said is true of any person from any nation from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, America, England. That's how I think we've all been brought up. You say 'ok, my country is nice, I'm very proud of it, I'm very proud to have been born there and I wish a lot of people come to my country and participate in the goodness of my country.' If that is wrong then I think I need to re-look at what my children are studying right now. I need to even ask people who think the statement is wrong."
