Reasons to watch and not watch My Name Is Khan
Whether the reactions are good or bad, positive or negative.. the first look of My Name Is Khan is already the talk of the town.
Some reasons to watch out for My Name Is Khan
- Stars Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, big enough reason, ain’t it? SRK at the press conference to unveil the trailer claims that the chemistry between him and Kajol is three times more than Dilwale Dulhainya Le Jayenge!!
- Its different from what Karan Johar has done ever before. MNIK is darker, deals with a Neurological disorder (autism) and also the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks.
- SRK’s performance. The response so far has been mixed, it will be interesting to how Khan has pulled it off. It could go either way – brilliant or very inconsistent.
- Shahrukh and Kajol have a 100% success ratio, every film they have come together for, has worked at the box office.
- Karan Johar too, as a director, has a 100% success ratio. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum were huge blockbusters. Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna didn’t meet expectations and under-performed at the Indian box office.
- Fox Studios marketed Slumdog Millionaire, which was a strong product in itself, to box office and Oscar gold. Can they achieve similar success with MNIK?
Where My Name Is Khan could go wrong..
- SRK is at his best when, well, he is SRK on screen. In Swades and Chak De India, he was great, but those were normal restrained roles. His character in MNIK is such that, if he doesn’t get it right, it could look pretty weird, if not awful, on screen.
- The “I want to meet the president of US” because it would help him re-unite with his wife Mandira, sounds clichéd – exaggerated.
Reasons not to watch My Name Is Khan
- Just two reasons. One, too many films on 9/11 in the last 6 months or so. One of them was Kurbaan, produced by Karan Johar himself, which didn’t do too well at the box office.
- Two, if you aren’t huge fans of SRK – Kajol – Karan and didn’t like the trailer either, you would be better off waiting for the critics and user reviews, before you go book your tickets.
Overall, the promotions for My Name Is Khan have already begun and SRK has already taken a potshot at Aamir Khan “If we are asked to go to other states to promote the movie, we surely will do it. But if you are asking me if I will vanish, I don’t know. I am still here.” said SRK, referring to the “Disappear” act that Aamir has done to promote 3 Idiots!

Iidicine team: whether u mentioned 2 or 100 of reasons for the readers not to watch this movie.. they will.. everyone will.. even shahrukh’s haters.. they might be the first ppl to go and watch it!!

I think its high time shahrukh shud come out of Raj/Rahul characters…eventhough he tried he cannot forget his stammery dialogue delivery…i dont know so called self proclaimed BADSHAH has the creative hunger or not? How long can one sustain on RAJ/Rahul type roles…….Dear Karan Pls come out of the shell of SRK…friendship has got nothing to do with business….Karan please search for other avenues of challenging stories…U know wht happened to your last directed movie KANK?
Gosh enough of 9/11 backdrop stories…we are really fed up of these…Dharma Production should do experimental movies rather than playing it safe in revenue terms

Fathiya- u r wrong.
I hereby Commit that i will not watch MNIK, and for me 2 reasons are Haklu Khan & Gay Johar.
I think u will be surprised to know that i havent watched OSO also.
So never be over confident about audience and say that ” Iidicine team: whether u mentioned 2 or 100 of reasons for the readers not to watch this movie.. they will.. everyone will.. even shahrukh’s haters.. they might be the first ppl to go and watch it!! “
Allen: (December 18, 2009 at 1:01 pm)
& Fathiya, i am not the only person.
U will be tired if u start counting Haklu Khan’s haters.
masa: (December 18, 2009 at 2:14 pm)
Allen who freaking cares, whether u watch it or not, that wouldn’t change the fact that millions will
watch it. keep hating, successful people usually have the most haters so srk ride on.

I saw the trailer very nice i like it, shah rukh khan acting reminded me darshal sapari from the movie tare zameen par. Good Trailer.

The response to the trailer isn’t that great. Some of srk’s die hard fans in my college has stated that the trailer was just about ok, though srk was good in it. the movie should attract multiplex audiences but the same can’t b said about the masses. So, i think ghajjni’s record will remain intact.
i dont know that it is good movie or bad , rab ne… and oso wasnt good movies but both blockbuster due to only one man which is Shahrukh Khan…. his name is enough to get ticket of the movie . i m sure this movie will get historical weekend like 7 , 8 , 9 … minimum 24 cr .this is minimum which i think and if movie is good then from monday it will rock other wise like akki’s last some releases .
indicine tell me why karan is releasing his 2 movies on same topic in 3 months ? do u think it is right dicision ??
may be inside the movie is something else and we are getting wrong like rocket singh .
