MY NAME IS KHAN (2010)

Cast

Plot

Khan is an Indian Muslim (Shahrukh Khan revealing himself as one of the world's greatest actors) with Asperger's Syndrome who travels to the USA, meets a gorgeous girl, marries, but, in the aftermath of 9/11, becomes a victim of racism, resultant marital problems and communal tensions. He then sets off on a trans-American journey to meet the President and clear his name. An excellent film covering many topics, from romantic to tragic, from feel-good to weepie and with some wry humour on the way. The cynical might say 'Bollywood does Forrest Gump', but that would taking away from what this ambitious film achieves.
