My Name Is Khan ... And I'm Not A Terrorist!

I was glad I was able to watch this film on opening day.  There have been only a handful of films that I have countdown to like I did for this film, some of those would probably be all of the Harry Potter films.  I've already written as to how important this film is and why there's such big buzz and expectations.

You know how when you have all these expectations for a film and are just so excited because you don't know if it'll deliver what it promised.  And then when it does you are just left speechless, because you got what you wanted, and then some, you just kinda don't know what to say...

...Well, this is exactly how I felt once the film ended.  I was just soooo happy that after all this wait the film was just brilliant!!!  I don't want to keep praising it too much, but I would highly recommend watching it.  Shahrukh's portrayal of Rizvan Khan is outstanding!  His character is bigger than the film itself.

The chemistry between Kajol + Shahrukh comes out on screen as being so natural, you believe that this couple will be happy forever.  They truly are one of the industries' most enchanting couple.

***One thing I must point out that made me feel uncomfortable was the portrayal of African-Americans in the film.  I went with a couple of friends to see this film and we were discussing this in the car.  There is one moment where Rizvan Khan {Shahrukh Khan} ends up in Wilhelmina, Georgia.  We are introduced to two characters Mama Jenny {Jennifer Echols} and her nephew.  My friend had comment that they looked like 'slaves' their whole town looked like a slavery plantation; and I have to agree with her.  In the way they were dressed and how they talked it was as if we they were still living in the late 1700's.  I don't think it was done intentionally, but personally I was taken aback as I watched these characters.  This was the only big flaw I saw in the film.

I would still highly recommend this film, because Shahrukh is just phenomenal and deserves all the praise he's getting for this film.  Congrats to Karan Johar + Kajol + SRK for another soon to be classic film in the Hindi film industry.

Marry Me

14 Day's of Pyaar ... Valentine's Day Filmi Style (Day 12)

 This my least favorite of all the 4 Karan Johar directed films, the film is just way too family oriented.  I know most Hindi films deal with family matters but this one was just too much for me.  Also I hated Hrithik Roshan's character, he's cries way too much...this in now way refers to the fact that he is a man, and that men shouldn't cry.  I can only handle so much crying from one character, it was just too much for my liking. 

Day 12: Suraj Hua Maddham - Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham {K3G}

The only great thing about this film is the Rahul + Anjali jodi, it was pure magic!!!

So for those of you who have been following all the promotions for MNIK, today was the day that Shahrukh and Kajol rang the bell for NASDAQ.  I love how they they called him a Bollywood Superstar!!!


This is the full ceremony:

My Name Is Khan ... Less than 13 days to go!!!

So as you can clearly tell I am one of those super SRK fanatic freak fans who is counting down the days leading up to the release of My Name Is Khan. 

For those you non Bolly-knowledgeable people who not aware how big this is...allow me to explain and show you some fabulous promos at the same time.

1.  This film marks the reunion of the greatest trio {In my opinion they are the greatest} in the Hindi film industry. Shahrukh Khan {Actor}, Kajol {Actress}, Karan Johar {Director/Producer} have made so of the industries most memorable films;

• Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998)

• Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001)**

• Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003)*

• Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006)*

*I included KANK/KHNH because Kajol did a special appearance in the film.

**K3G was the last film in which the SRK + Kajol Jodi was ever seen on the big screen.

 Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

2.  This film also marks the partnership of Karan's Dharma Productions with Sharukh's Company Red Chillies Entertainment.

3.  This film is also the first film to get support and partner up with FOX Searchlight Studios.  Which I see as a great opportunity to get more exposure for the Hindi film industry.

4.  It has been almost 10 years that the SRK + Kajol Jodi was seen on screen.  They are one of the industries most memorable couple in modern Hindi Cinema.

***These are some of the reasons as to why there is so much hype surrounding the film.  But for me, only need these reasons to watch this film SRK + Kajol + Karan.

Here are some of the promos for the film:
