Though almost delayed by a decade and dozen films, Karan Johar touches the now-traditional theme of the aftermath of 9/11 and the victimized Muslim with simplicity and sensitivity in My Name is Khan . Within the range that the global-issue offers, the film still doesn’t attempt to go out of the world in its treatment, resorting to the regular conflicts already exploited in the genre.
But where Karan Johar succeeds is in making Shah Rukh Khan underplay his character like never before and mellow down the human drama with so much positivity that a film with a backdrop as intense as 9/11 ends up being feel-good. Just to give an instance of the optimism, when the naive autistic protagonist is given cold treatment in a torture cell, he offers to repair the air conditioner.
