Because Rizwan Khan suffers from a form of Autism, he is stopped at a US airport and detained because of his unusual behaviour. After his life-changing ordeal, he embarks on a journey to Washington to meet the President because he has “something to say to him”. Of course in the background a painful love story plays out, driving Khan to do what he needs to do.We like this movie because of its reality doused storyline. Most Bollywood films, along with Hollywood, exist simply to entertain, but this one throws a spanner in the works with its themes of disability and Muslim discrimination post-9/11. It’s a moving film, in no small part due to the music and a terrific performance from Shahrukh Khan.
Rating: 3 outta 5.
