Looks great.

It is an Indian film staring all the big bollywood actors but the narrative is in english the film I think has subtitles.

About a autistic muslim guy living in America whos life changes when 9/11 happens so he embarks on a journey to walk across america to tell the president 'my name is Khan and I am not a terroist'.

The trailer looks very moving.
 
It does look very good. I want to see it thanks to the promotion it got on the Jonathan Ross show...and it's not usually my kind of film, but it looks like it could be really interesting and well made.
 
I've never really been into Bollywood films but i really love the look of this film. It seems like a really deep and moving story which is exactly what i like. Will definitely try and watch what it when i can.
 
Watched this yesterday. Was really good. Very different to the typical Bollywood films. Only let down were the lookilikes of the presidents.
 
Saw this today, I have to say it was a great movie! which raises some interesting issues in regarRAB to racial profiling, stereotypes and others too....I was happy the fact it wasn't a typical cliched Bollywood movie, where boy meets girl, they fall in love, can't get married because of the families, eventually they win them over....I also like the fact there was no singing and dancing, the music spoke for itself and interpreted (sp?) the scenes very well....It's beautifully shot in various locations in America and some in India

....The entire cast did a fantastic job, Shahrukh and Kajol worked very well in terms of onscreen chemistry....Shahrukh's acting really drew me in, he captured the role very well showing vulnerability, brought a childlike persona to his character and had great comical timing....It just proves he has the potential to be a great actor amongst big Hollywood stars like George Clooney, Brad Pitt etc....

The length of the film is long, about 2 and a half hours long...Don't worry, there's an intermission half way through the film where you get a break to stretch your legs :) ....The film makes you laugh, cry, feel empathy for the characters....I think it could have picked up an Oscar or so if it was released during the Oscar buzz season, It definately deserves accolades though....I think the film can be enjoyed by anyone.....xo
 
Saw a trailer for this on Jonathan Ross the other week when he was interviewing the chap who stars in it and I will definitely be going to see it.

Looks excellent.
 
Haven't seen it yet but, yes, Shahrukh is an excellent actor and utterly huge in Bollywood. Kajol's very good too.

Shahrukh's critics tend to describe him as over-emotional, but when the part calls for that, he's second to none.

If anyone is interested in an 'accessible' Bollywood film with him in it, I'd suggest Swades. It has the singing/dancing parts, but a good social message in terms of East/West living conditions. Music is by AR Rahman, and it's sublime.
 
Went to see this Yesterday What an absolutely amazing piece of film i think it should get a lot of awarRAB as it absolutely blew me away it is very sad but very heartwarming at the same time and i think the message is carried across very well that there are 2 types of people in this world good ones and bad ones.
I recommend this film to everyone and i also think this film should be shown in schools everywhere 10/10 :)
 
Just watched this and thought it was a brilliant film. Shahrukh Khan was great in his role playing someone with Asperger's syndrome, kinda reminded me of Dustin Hoffman's role in 'Rain Man'. Its a shame it wasn't released earlier, could have got some Oscar nominations. Khan definitely deserves some recognition for his acting in this.

All round its summat i would definitely recommended people to see, the film had a wonderful heart warming message. :)
 
Yeah the critics are way too harsh with him, he's a very good actor and alot better than most of the younger actors imo....I'm surprised he hasn't gone into Hollywood done some small roles there....xo
