This movie is long, but well worth the time. I have watched it, and re-watched it many times with friends and family.
It remains one of the very few DVDs in my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars If I Could Only Watch One Movie, This Would Be It
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2010

Whatever else is in the movie, THIS IS A LOVE STORY. Anyone who doesn't realize that has missed the entire point. A man living in turbulent times and circumstances, afflicted with a difficult handicap, goes to extraordinary lengths for the woman he cannot stop loving. All the rest is background, albeit entertaining background.

While I found the different point of view (that of Muslims and Hindus in America) interesting and enlightening, no one should take the political and/or social aspects of this movie seriously other than to view them as educational. It's simply part of the setting. That's why no one attempted to DO them very seriously...because they were background to the plot, they were not the plot itself. This is not a failed front for a social/political documentary. It's an extraordinarily successful, beautiful, and sensitive love story.

Ironically, though the movie is about Muslims and Hindus and not a mention is made of the Christian religion in the entire film (other than to show a couple of non-religious scenes in a church), there is a powerful Christian message (probably common to most religions): that love heals and hatred destroys, and that character and moral courage (not bravado) are what make real men.

It's sad that no one has thought to praise the remarkable performance of Shahrukh Khan, who portrays a man afflicted with Aspberger's Syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism. Khan is at a disadvantage: Had Dustin Hoffman never done Rainman, nor Leonardo DiCaprio given us his amazing performance in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Khan's portrayal of Risvan Khan might have been given the considerable respect it deserves. As it is, in my view he still excels the others in one respect: he manages to infuse charm, high intelligence, and even sexiness into his very convincing portrayal of a disability generally not thought of as very sexy.

The charm and comedy of this movie are irresistible. The chemistry between the leading actors is legendary in India (they've made at least 5 movies together). The directing is flawless, the acting top-rate, the photography excellent, the music lively and compelling. One note about the music: it's ethnic (hence Indian), which means it's not what American audiences are used to hearing. But if you can get past the culture shock, you may do as I did and end up loving it enough to buy the CD.

There is enough action to keep even my husband, who loves nothing more than to see buildings blowing up, interested. When asked if there are very many subtitles to read, I told my daughter there were some, but not enough to distract from the movie. Only when I watched it a second time did I realize there are subtitles throughout most of it (I was too absorbed to even realize I was reading subtitles most of the time. Hint: use the Pause button as needed). I was riveted throughout the entire movie and never found a single moment boring. In fact, I was surprised at how fast the time had gone. And when the movie was over, even my action-loving husband said, "I'm not sure, but that may be the best movie I've ever seen."

For parents: This movie does not contain nudity, sex scenes (although the word "sex" is mentioned), nor does it contain anything crude. There is some violence, but it's not pervasive, nor is it graphic. And here's a wonderfully refreshing twist: the couple actually marries before sleeping together! My husband did think he heard the F word in one scene, but I've watched the movie twice and didn't hear it; so if it's in there, it's not obvious.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best movies ever

I think everyone should watch this movie. This movie is very close to my heart because the Main character is very similar to my son who has autism. It does a very well job in showing his innocence yet the way the world can be so cruel to them. It teaches people to be kinder and how prejudice can hurt others. I have watched it probably over 30 times.

The movie is great, but i was searching for the version where we can HEAR English translation, so my son can watch. This author said audio was in English, so i purchased it, where in reality it was just English subtitles. I was disappointed as if it was the case i could just watch it for free from other source. I was paying for English audio, but it is in original version

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this movie. No Spoilers in the review!

Where to I begin? Khan is a fellow from India living in America (played by Bollywood Superstar Shah Rukh Khan). He shows classic mannerisms of Asberger's Syndrome (SRK gets it right...), but is high functioning and living with his brother and family -- has a job and falls for a lady. That's where things begin....

And for a while things go OK. He adapts and begins to learn his world.... Then something happens on a sunny day in September 2001 and Mr. Khan who is a devout Muslim.... Well, you can fill in the blanks....

No spoilers here, but suffice to say things don't go well. As a Muslim he prays wherever he's at 5 times a day.... And not everybody finds this comforting....

Trouble ensues and Khan decides (after things have gone REALLY wrong) that he needs to talk to the American President: he wants to tell him: "My name is Khan and I'm not a terrorist..."

Sounds pretty simple. Right?

Wrong....

This is one of my favorite movies (I suppose I should add I'm not from India and I'm not a Muslim, not that it matters...). There's not much Bollywood singing and dancing (some..., enough), but, boy, does SRK nail this! Keep in mind that SKR is a Superstar in India and is a Muslim (who is definitely NOT a terrorist!). I can only believe that he must have really wanted to tell this story.

And the ending -- after so much goes wrong -- really works... but, Spoilers, Sweetie (see Dr. Who if this reference is too obscure...).

Bottom Line: Get it. Watch it.

When I first noticed this movie, I did the usual, and read the comments. After reading most of them (including what the losers wrote) I was still only half a mind to get it or not. Having left the thought behind for a couple of weeks (time to think it over). I decided to order it, In due course, it arrived, where it sat on the coffee table for a couple of weeks while I watched some more of the dvd pile sitting there. Today, aka Christmas Day, I decided to watch it. For the first ten minutes, I wasn't overly enthralled with it, but then it picked up, got interesting, then exciting. Next thing I knew, I had waterfalls running down my face.....it had become sad. There were some immortal words spoken towards the end and I quote...."Let your anger go.....just...let it go". I felt that moment was so caring, so wonderful, that I wrote it down just so I could re-tell it here. This movie, although it didn't thrill me for a few minutes, I have to say that, throughout, it excelled my expectations. The actors / actresses are superb. The acting, overall, is absolutely excellent. As with myself, your mind will be focused on the main player.....Rizwan (Khan).....played by Shah Rukh Khan (no relation). His role in the movie is just so unique. Playing the role of a very intelligent muslim (I'm not a terrorist) who's body and mind is affected by a medical problem that wins him friends and enemies. Please, please. please, this movie is an absolute must for everyone. I promise you, wholeheartedly, you will love it. You will be glad you did.

He leído críticas duras, tachando esta película de ñoña, lágrima fácil e incluso de racista. Pues a mí me ha encantado y sé que muchos críticos de cine sesudos (o los que ni lo son pero se lo creen) dirán que otras de temática similar como pueden ser Forrest Gum y en menor medida Yo soy Sam le dan mil vueltas. Pues muy bien, ¿porque el actor es un ganador de Oscar o porque son made in Hollywood...Occidente? A mí personalmente esta película me ha encantado, y sí, va a tocar la fibra. Y sí, plantea la perspectiva de un musulman, pero ya me parece interesante ver las cosas desde el otro lado. Muy bonita, muy bien actuada y pese a su duración no se hace larga.
