My Name Is Khan



My Name Is Khan is an upcoming 2010 Indian drama based upon a true story. It is directed by Karan Johar, co-produced by Johar and Shahrukh Khan, has a screenplay by Shibani Bathija, and stars Khan and Kajol. The other actors and actresses who had performed in the film include Jimmy Shergill, Bilal Khan and others. Shahrukh Khan had done a splendid job once again.

Cinematography is by Ravi K. Chandran. Khan is a Muslim who as a child (Tanay Chheda) grew up with his mother (Zarina Wahab) in the the Borivali section of Mumbai in India. As an adult, Khan (Shahrukh Khan) falls in love and marries Mandira (Kajol). Khan suffers from Asperger syndrome which impacts social interaction abilities.

Khan is arrested as a suspected terrorist in post - 9/11 Los Angeles after authorities mistake his disability for "suspicious" behavior. After his arrest, he meets Radha (Sheetal Menon), a therapist who helps him.

The music is given by Shankar –Ehsaan –Loy and the music is impressive just like any other films of Karan Johar. The performance of the character artists in the film is very impressive. Although Shabana Azmi left the role of the mother of Shahrukh Khan after being cast initially, Zarina Wahab did do well in the film.

In a nutshell it can be said that the film is going to be a big hit inspite of the negative factors.
