Indian Film: MY NAME IS KHAN

Hello it's Bilal again, now I will do a blog about another romantic, adventure and religion film which is called MY NAME IS KHAN, this film is considered to be one of the 2010's classics and has earned a blockbuster status. Here is an image and a trailer of the movie.

I will now tell you what this film is about in a short summary. This romantic, adventure and religious film is about RIZWAN KHAN is a Muslim man who has Aspergers Syndrome a form of autism, grew up with his brother, ZAKIR, and his widowed mother, RAZIA, in a middle-class family in Borivali, Mumbai. His autism leads to special tutoring from a reclusive scholar and extra attention from his mother, all which leads to a heightened level of jealousy from ZAKIR, who eventually leaves his family for a life in San Francisco. Despite this, ZAKIR sponsors RIZWAN to come and live with him after their mother's death. ZAKIR's wife HASEENA diagnoses RIZWAN as having Asperger's syndrome. RIZWAN also begins to work for ZAKIR's. He meets Hindu woman MANDIRA and her young son SAMEER (SAM), born from a previous marriage. Despite ZAKIR's uncertainty, they marry and live in the fictional Banville, adopting RIZWANs surname as theirs. They also live next door to the GARRICK family; SAM is close to their young son, REESE.

The KHAN' perfect existence gets disrupted following the September 11 attacks. MARK goes to cover the war in Afghanistan but dies there. The KHANS begins to experience the post 9/11 prejudice, and RESSE begins to turn against SAM, who finds himself in a racist fight against college ruffians, who damage his heart, killing him. Shocked MANDIRA blames RIZWAN, stating that SAM died solely because of RIZWAN's surname. Consequently, she declares a separation, sarcastically telling him that to be back together, he has to tell the people and President of the United States that his name is KHAN and he is not a terrorist.

RIZWAN thus sets out on a road trip to first meet President GEORGE BUSH and later President-elect BARACK OBAMA. He travels to the fictional Wilhumena, Georgia and befriends Mama JENNY and her son JOEL. While at a mosque in Los Angeles, he overhears violent rhetoric from a doctor, FAISAL, who is quoting religious texts, and defies angrily FAISAL's statements before walking out to drop a message for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). While waiting in a crowd to meet President BUSH, he says, "My name is KHAN and I am not a terrorist!", repeatedly. He is arrested due to misinterpretation as "I am a terrorist."

RIZWAN is interrogated as a terrorist suspect but is released after a media campaign by Indian student reporters who prove his innocence by revealing his attempts to inform the FBI about FAISAL. After his release, he returns to the hurricane-hit WILHUMENA to help Mama JENNY, JOEL, and everyone there, attracting attention. REESE confesses to MANDIRA and reveals the identity of the boys who beat up SAM. She informs Detective GARCIA, who has been assisting her on the case, and the boys, including REESE, are eventually arrested.

MANDIRA joins RIZWAN in Georgia. At the moment she arrives, RIZWAN is stabbed by a FAISAL follower and is hospitalized. RIZWAN survives and reunites with MANDIRA meets BARACK OBAMA, who tells him: "Your name is KHAN and you are not a terrorist."


In my opinion I love this movie, I love the story, the songs/music, the actors who acted in this film and the most famous dialogue which is said a lot in this film, the dialogue has won many hearts including mine which is "MY NAME IS KHAN, AND I AM NOT A TERRORIST", I suggest you should watch this film to it's very good.
