My Name Is Khan movie releases 11 Feb
My Name Is Khan is a 2010 Bollywood movie directed by Karan Johar based on a true story of an autistic man who gets caught up in post 9/11 dragnet. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Jimmy Shergill, Tanay Chheda, Zarina Wahab, and Sonya Jehan.
Ironically, on 14 August 2009, Shah Rukh Khan was detained at Newark airport in the US for over an hour by immigration authorities, where he was visiting to promote the film (which deals with similar ordeals.)
The movie comes out in mass release in Dubai and UAE cinemas on 11 February.

Totally agree. This is a class movie with class performances. Though not a “feel good” film, its certainly thought-provoking and an emotionally gut-wrenching, tear-jerking film.
You gotta go see it.
Excellent movie narrating how innocent people have suffered ‘cos of the fragmentation of the humanity in general and the American society in particular, post-9/11. The movie succeeds in passing on resoundingly the message: There are only two types of humans: Good or bad and this for sure is not based on their religion.
Both Shahrukh and Kajol have given their utmost to the roles played by them. And for Karan Johar, its a new beginning, as so far he was only known for making films based on fanily dramas and romance.
