So.. What if your name is Khan?! The social paranoia about a Muslim is always a terrorist, plagues societies around the world! So how exactly does a "simple" & "Real" Muslim face the consequences & fight his way through this? Well, MNIK is all about it is well known fact but how is it narrated to the audience is very crucial! The plot is well laid out, but lacks the pull & hold a movie has to have on its audience! Nevertheless, it ain't that "bad" either! Slow, sensitive, shaky (at places) the movie just goes on! It is finally the character Rizvan Khan (SRK) who manages to keep you glued! I am indeed a huge fan of SRK, but am more realistic! When he has done bad work, I've equally hated him for that! When I 1st heard this character has some kind of a "mental disorder", I was really wondering will this guy really pull it off well?! But now after having seen his performance, my humble salute to him! He is "in the character", he is all over it!!! Words aren't enough to applaud his performance! He deserves a round of applause people! Coming to Mandira (Kajol), I couldn't find anything "special" but she has done justice to the role too. The other characters though small, are well woven in the story! Each NAME (character) has something to convey! It is a package deal & surely there's a lot each one has something to take back along. Worth a watch once for sure & worth giving a thought about the message. I give the movie an overall of 3.5/5 & 5/5 to Rizvan Khan!
