The Trailer

The Review

If there’s a film that’s overhyped by the media, it is ‘My Name Is Khan’.

Going into the theater I was expecting an epic, what not, the title is overpowering, and Shahrukh Khan was starring in it.

The downfall is how the way movie was directed.

There was just too many unnecessary idle scenes which makes no sense.

SRK acting as autistic person was believable, well the cast overall acting was decent for me.

It’s a movie that’s trying to capitalize on current issue such as terrorism and the fear associated with it … so passe.

The Good

• Excellent climax
• Endearing characters

The Bad

• Cheesy dialogues
• You might have mistaken it’s an English movie, nearly half of the line are in English
