My Name is Khan - My Name is Khan and I'm not a terrorist!


This is the latest movie by Karan Johar, my favourite Bollywood, well the only, producer I really like, I've seen all his movies and they are great!

My Name is Khan is the story Rizwan Khan (Shah Rukh Khan), a Muslim man. Rizwan is not like other people, he has some kind of illness that not even doctors can say what that is, but it makes him being afraid of new places and the yellow colour. He spent his childhood in India with his mother, but when she died Khan (the way everyone called him) he moved to the USA, to live with his brother Zakir (Jimmy Shergill). While trying to adapt to the new city, Khan falls in love with Mandira (Kajol) and eventually manages to get married with her, as she is divorced and has a son, Sameer aka Sam (Yuvaan Makaar). After their marriage they move to a new city, which proves to be hard for him, but Mandiras' love for him helps him getting through it; and also Mandira and her sons' surname changes to Khan (which is related to terrorism). Because of that, Sam is killed by some boys at school, during a ridiculous fight in which his best friend was also present, but unable to do anything. When Mandira sees her son dead in the hospital, throws Khan out of the house accusing him from being the guilty of Sams' death. And makes him promise to just come back, only when he meets the President of USA and tells him "My Name is KHAN and I'm not a Terrorist", that's when his loooong journey to meet the President starts.
Will he be able?


PS: while watching this film, I cried since the beginning till the end of it, it really touches us. Well, every movie by Karan Johar are really very emotional, but this one is THE ONE! It's a must...

They had nothing to say each other...


They had been together going on five years, but a single mistake of him destroyed that relation which had been balanced till now.

Avantika was American, but born in India. She was the icon of beauty, blue eyes, long black hair, tall and had a great figure, every woman dreamt being like her. She worked as a teacher in the University near her house, in Delhi. She came back to India due to her fathers' illness.

Ehsaan was from Pakistan. He was a normal man, in fact I would say he was really ugly and there was nothing in him which would make him different from other man, apart from being a Muslim in India, Delhi and going to teach something related to his religion in an Indian University.

When Ehsaan saw Avantika for the first he immediately fell in love with her, it was love at first sight! However, for her it was something impossible, as she was only in her twenties, she wanted to enjoy her life as much as she could. His insistence, made her fall in love with him and marrying him against her fathers' approval.

Some days after theur marriage Avantika received a letter from the American University, saying that they wanted her back, she was a bit worried, as things were different now, she was married and they had their life settled in Delhi. That's when Ehsaan says "It's not necessary for the woman to sacrifice all the time" and they departed to New York.

In the USA, they bought a house in an Indian neighbourhood and Ehsaan also got a job in the same University as her, lecturing the same subject as he was lecturing in India. As they were new, a (Indian for her and Muslim for him) family went to their house to be friends with them; it was Muslim for him, because it actually was his own family. As she got to know them a bit better, she found out that there was a girl who was being ill-treated by her husband in that house, and she tried to help her, but she didn't know that what she was doing would almost cost her, her life. This family was all composed by terrorist, including Ehsaan. When she got to know this, it was too late, not only she was pregnant with Ehsaan's child, but also her father-in-law knew she was aware of their reality, so they made Avantika, as well as her father in India, prisoners in their own houses and she stopped eating and speaking with her husband.

Ehsaans' family were planning a big attack in every metro stations, in which each and every member would be carrying a bomb, including the women (all of them). But Ehsaan was unaware of that fact and he got to know that Avantika had a bomb he left everything and saved her life and his child. However, while doing that, he had to fight a lot against the police and lost his life. Before his death, Avantika asked Ehsaan his real name, and his answer was: Khalid.

She left him there and came back to India.
