dont use cellphones because it kills bees !!!! thats literally taking a piss and pushing tree hugging to an extreme new dimension.

Lets face it viewers this movie was a complete piece of rubbish. The movie is so fictional it is hard to even connect it to reality. Its like alice in wonderland kind of theme, all the characters are so shallow its not even pleasant to see them on screen. Shahruk khan overacting the retardness of his character its so evident you straight away know he is just acting and his extreme tree hugging views on the world is so unbearable that it actually hurt my brain. Then comes the central theme 'my name is khan and i'm not a terrorist' I couldnt stop laughing everytime he said that and making it an aim to deliver his immature ideology to the president of the united states of america and actually having done that was like adding 20 spoons of sugar to my coffee. Extreme portrayal of innocence and sweetness was too much to endure.

The tip of the iceberg is when he single handedly rescues the hurricane striken population of Georgia and the news media is covering this unpresidented act of noblety creating awareness for the general public to come and lend a helping hand. Lets face it, the world isnt such a pleasant place!

The reason this movie succeded is due to the rigorous marketing campaign that was carried out and the exploitation of a brand name called KHAN. We all like mr srk and it was deemed from the beginning that we all are going to go and watch the movie especially after 3 idiots delivering a total satisfaction to amir khan fans, shahruk khan fans needed something to rejoice and it wouldnt matter whether its a piece of S**t it was deemed to work.

Oh yes, 3 Idiots was bloody brilliant.. A dude challenging the system finally becoming an einstien and teaching children of a remote village.. Oh god, how realistic..!

And the vaccum cleaner episode was the most believable scene in the history of Bollywood cinema..

[–] Nafiz_tm2 14 years ago

It is important for you to know that I'm not a srk fan nor an amir khan fan so you can expect this to be a bias free review but since you brought it up I would like to elaborate.

-There are brilliant teachers in remote villages, I know that because I have visited many village schools as a unicef vounteer

- You are probably unaware but babies are delivered over the internet today and you'll be surprised to know the numerous methods used in delivering babies in developed and underdeveloped societies. It may be hard to speculate a baby being delivered by a vaccum cleaner but you should know it is theoritically possible. It doesnt mean that because its not been done it cant be done

critically speaking there are many flaws in 3 idiots but it is near the boundaries of reality it is neither extreme nor impossible as it is for my name is khan.

Only problem i had with 3 idiots *SPOILER**SPOILER**SPOILER**SPOILER**SPOILER**SPOILER* was that Raju had a choice to kick himself out of the institution or kick ranchos. And he jumps off the building cause it was a decision he didn't want to take. So when he recovered the principle decided to let both of them go...that's kinda unbelievable for me.

And c'mon, the movie could've been MUCH better (maybe even perfect) if it wasn't for that delivery scene. That scene was really unecessary. They couldn't come up with a better idea for the principal to like ranchos.

Anyways my opinions, don't hate me for my point of view.

[–] iamsherlocked 14 years ago

just said that coz u brought 3 idiots up..
LOL a dude that changes the system, becomes world's top scientist, but still teaches in rural villiage - that's what I'm talking about.. And the all izz well scene after that where the kid suddenly starts kicking after he says all izz well.. WOW!

And there's nothing 'theoretically' impossible in khan too..

BTW:
From wiki:
Individuals with AS may collect volumes of detailed information on a relatively narrow topic such as weather data or star names, without necessarily having genuine understanding of the broader topic.

So he quotes albert einstein "if the bees die, human race will extinct within 5 days" or sumthing.. and kajol corrects that Albert Einstein 'apparently said'... so please enlighten me, what's wrong in it?

And when did he single handedly save the entire people? Didn't you see 100's of people coming to help them carrying boxes?

Excellent! @ QTRulz

Anyone who brings up the killer bee theory to criticize a movie is such a moron or a troll, but I would like to think it is the latter.
It just ruins all credibility of whatever else the OP has to say.
You cant expect realism from a director who is known to make commercial movies.
You can take butter and say it makes you fat, but it doesnt take the awesome taste that comes with it.
My only gripe with the movie was the entire hurrican scene. But its ridiculous to say he saved them all by himself. He was a healthy man who was willing to help. What is wrong with that? Seeing that he is someone with AS, it would make sense that he was willing to risk it all.
SRK was fantastic. Not as great as say Dustin Hoffman in Rainman, but it was great nonetheless.
As for 3 idiots, just wanted to point out that the whole "Deliver the baby scene" sucked more than the hurricane scene. It was ridiculous and ruined what couldve been the perfect movie just like My name is khan could if it didnt have the hurricane scene.
As for Amir Khan vs Shahrukh Khan, lets face it. Acting isnt everything. In terms of acting, Amir khan is leagues ahead, but Shahrukh is the total package. He's got charisma, flair that only once in a generation superstar possesses. In the 80s it was Amitabh, but the 90s and the 2000s belong to Shahrukh. The others arent forgotten, but arent remembered too often either.

@ salem

completely agree with what ever you said but for one. when you say Aamir is leagues ahead of SRK, i disagree. i keep hearing this statement of Aamir way ahead of SRK in acting but find really hard to understand it.

what has aamir done acting wise to be ahead of SRK. i have never seen any top notch performance from aamir. dont get me wrong, he is a good actor but not that spell-bounding actor as everyone makes him out to be.

his 3 idiots, gajni, TZP, Fanah, RDB, none had or required any great skills. if you say these are a great acting showcase, then SRK with baazigar, Darr, DDLJ ( even romance is part of acting), Swades, Chak de, MNIK, would beat him hands down.

in my opinion Aamir, is inflated actor and is wrongly considered to be in league of great actors like Kamal hassan, nassaruddin, AB, mohan Lal, Anupam kher etc

he might be in the above league, but so far he hasn't proven so.

[–] iamsherlocked 14 years ago

You echoed my thoughts mate..!
Both Aamir and SRK are good actors in their own ways.. But Aamir is hyped as a genius, perfectionist, and god knows what..

And NS, Kamal hassan, AB, Mohanlal etc are examples for brilliant actors, they're lightyears ahead of Aamir (or SRK)...

It's just that he selection is good (or was).. That's the only place he had an edge over SRK.. But since he's doing Fanaa's, 3I, and Ghajini and SRK doing Chakde,MNIK, etc. i think both are on almost similar notes now..

[–] uchoosemoon 14 years ago

finally a sensible response. good on you QTRulz. cheers mate

and again i would say SRK and Aamir can be as great actors as above but, they are in wrong era. the era when actors NS, AB, kamal hassan ruled was golden period of Indian cinema where acting was much emphasized upon. but today its an entertainment era where acting has no place. thats why actors like akshay can have 5 hits in a row making 5 similar sort movies in a row!!!! nothing wrong but thats how it works. there no platforms anymore to showcase acting skills for SRK or Aamir.

but i disagree on your last part.

on selection, i think both have made equal no of wrong selections in their careers which every one does. the fact is SRK has repeated or done similar roles from 1995 to 2005 roughly. SRK critics always point this out as a negative but i would say, DDLJ, pardes, KKHH, K3G, KHNH etc are movies that made SRK what he is today. and thats the reason why he repeated because people wanted him to. thats y he is the global icon because of his romantic image. i believe if something is going right for you, then stick to it, to move away to prove you can also be different is utter foolishness. SRK was type-casted for good. similar to what AB was in entire 80'S as angry young man.

[–] iamsherlocked 14 years ago

I Agree mate, well said..! :)

[–] vhavnal 14 years ago

Regarding Aamir and SRK, then they both suck as actors....no matter how good an "indian" actor is, they will always be regarded as B-class (and B doesn't stand for bollywood) actors in hollywood. Only a few Bollywood actors have in time achieved an A-list standing in hollywood such as Om Puri, naseerudin shah, amrish puri (indiana jones era) and probably the most successful of them all, Anupam Kher. It doesn't really matter how good a "bollywood" actor you are, if your performance is not a t par with hollywood standards, you are nothing. Hollywood caters for the world whereas bollywood is just for india and its indian dispora world over.Aishwarya understood this and had tried to make a mark in hollywood, and it time I believe she can make a huge mark in hollywood...irrfan is currently the only actor apart from Anupamji that actually has a chance of making it "big". The fee of an A-list H*wood actor is 2wice the amount of money a bollywood film makes..ever...so unless aamir or SRK can achieve this feat, they will forever remain those melodramtic, overated and overactors that we all can expect from indian cinemas

Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity

@ dagambit

Don't agree with u mate.........
i m a big fan of hollywood movies and at any time if u ask me my fav actors they will be (Dustin Hoffman,Edwart Norton,De niro,Srk,Amir khan,Amitabh,salman)

Srk,Amir and others,they don't need to prove any thing to hollywood because there work speaks in india and thats the most important thing.......

[–] cse_sahil 14 years ago

This is the biggest joke i ever heard.........

@ uchoosemoon
"3 idiots,gajni,TZP,Fanah,RDB none required great acting skills"

oh man what is this.......the dumbest thing i ever heard....i m sorry 4 being rude but really i feel it...........
Srk is a good actor but it doesn't mean that the works done by amir khan didn't required great acting skills......

And man what do u say "So far amir hasn't proved" ha ha ha ha ha

for god sake man see DCH,RDB,LAGAAN,TZP,3 IDIOTS,SARFAROSH,EARTH,GHULAM,ISHQ,RAJA HINDUSTANI,RANGEELA,ANDAZ APNA APNA,JO JEETA WOHI SIKANDAR.............
the list is endless man..............
so stop being hypocrite and learn to appreciate a good work......

[–] uchoosemoon 14 years ago

sorry mate you got it completely wrong

i would like to know the acting skills in movies like avatar, spider-man series, hulk series, iron man series, die hard, Bourne series, wanted, transformer series and so on and on and on. showing great CGI doesn't mean great acting movies. please know what you are talking about.

and for Aamir, i never said he is a mediocre actor, please read my post on what i said. i have said he hasn't proved anything to be called the ace actor or the best actor of Indian cinema. look at the list of actors i mentioned as great and aamir is no way in that league. just listing of all aamir movies doesn't make him great actor. in above movies you mentioned of aamir, tell me in what way you say they were the best acting piece in Indian cinema. again i repeat, they are good, matter of fact could be done by any A list actors, you dont have to be the "all time greatest actor" of Indian cinema to perform the roles he has done.

then look at list of Anil kapoor, govinda, ajay devgan, rishi kapoor etc. so get out of your myth and look beyond. and for goodness sake dont include raja hindustani and ishq atleast. you loose your point when you mentioned these movies.

and dont worry mate. nothing to be rude about. your opinion is yours. and there is nothing hypocrisy in what i said.

[–] cse_sahil 14 years ago

But u have to admit this,that amir works so much on his chracter,so much research and hard work is there and we can see that clearly in his movies

and i mentioned the movies like ishq and raja hindustani because u mentioned pardes,kkhh etc
if raja hindustani is crap then the movies listed by u are not classics by any means :)
and the list u gave of great actors .....i agree...they all r great great actors except irfan khan(his acting seems monotonous to me) but they r in diff league......
and man u know what r u saying anil kapoor,ajay devgan,govinda(all good actors)
but amir has made diff name for himself.....he had set some standards.......
and one more thing amir has never done any movie like avatar etc that u mentioned......
most of the times his movie has a good solid plot and a powerpack performance 4m him...........

[–] uchoosemoon 14 years ago

@ sahil

and to add to that, commercial success doesn't mean the actor is the best. if thats the case, then SRK should be the best actor in the world for DDLJ, but it doesn't work out that way. to be more specific, DCH, RDB, LAGAAN, etc that you mentioned, are great movies (commercially as well), not doubt in that, but these movies will never be known as best acted movies in Indian cinema, yes probably best acted movies of Aamir ( he indeed did a fabulous job).

so please understand what i am trying to say. when u say best actors of Indian cinema, Aamir is not even in top 5 and people say he comes after AB. this is what i dont agree on.

this is what i call list of greatest actors of Indian cinema (again)

Kamal Hassan, Sivaji Ganesan
Mohan Lal, Mamooty
Amitabh bachan
Nasseerudin, Anuam kher, Om puri
Paresh rawan, nana patekar, irfan khan

could have missed some, but as many as i can think of now.

[–] cse_sahil 14 years ago

anyways every person has his own point of view........
if u don't take amir as a great actor and thats not a problem.....

for me amir is a great actor and he is better actor than srk......thats my view point........and this doesn't mean that i don't like srk movies.....

but to say amir has not given great performances and he is overrated is not fair........

[–] LilAntonio 14 years ago

LOL calm down buddy, its a movie and it was grreat, your being a tool

[–] uchoosemoon 14 years ago

@ DrGambit

who told you Hollywood is the measuring stick. and why should srk or aamir work as Hollywood actor does. they work for Indian film industry and for Indian audience. its like saying Indian cuisine is tasteless as it doesn't have meat pie in it.

and i think Bollywood now has much better scope for acting than the nonsensical crap of recent Hollywood movies.
