Going by the number of five and five and a half stars the film has got from honorable reviewers, let me clarify before I start. My name is Blogeswari and I have not been paid to write this review.
My name is Kaaviyam
The Kaaviyam is about Rizvan Khan played by Saaruk kaan suffering from Asperger's Syndrome 'coz of which he has a problem with social interaction, hates the color yellow and stays away from noise and crowd. He lives with Ammi Zarina Wahab does some craft-giri at home when she is not drawing stick figures explaining Unity across religions, to her son . Rizzzu moves to US with brother Jimmy Shergill and bhabhi Soniya Jehan. He falls in love to hairstylist , single mom Mandira (Gajol). Rizzu and Mandira get married and after a tragic incident you find Mandira screaming at Rizzu to go and tell the President of the United States of America "My name is Khan and am not a terrorist". Off goes Rizzu with his saaku-moottai roaming all over the country looking for the President to utter those golden words.
My name is M.G.R
Rizzu suddenly becomes MGR in Buddhan Yesu Gandhi pirandadu song and saves people from the hurricane, in the climax. Karaj Jogar in a bid to take his film to the International level brings in yet another Forrest Gump moment - a fat Mama Jenny and her scary hair son. Totally absurd this one is. Neither you nor Jogar has any idea on why the characters suddenly pop up on screen singing "Hum honge kaaaaamyaaaab" in Englipees.
My name is Saroja Devi
With MGR around, can Saroja Devi be far behind?
Please, someone explain why Rizzu keeps his hands like Saroja Devi and runs around, throughout the film?
My name is Khhhhashtakaalame
Please note, it is not Kashtakaalam but (from the epiglotis) Khhashtakaalam... Khaashtakaalam.. Everybody, not just Saaruk but everybody including the security officers at the airport overact.. ..over react. The interrogation scene where Rizzu is questioned in a cell by the officer reminds you of Gowravam Sivaji Ganesan interrogating Major Sundarrajan.
My name is Kaanamal Ponavargal
Talented actors like Arif Zackaria, Vinay Pathak, Sumeet Raghavan do tundu beedi roles. You blink and you will miss them. And which terrorist discusses plan out in the open I want to know...so fake I tell you!
My name is Kattthal Koochal
Kajol is straight out of her Punjabu mummy avtar in Kappi Kushi Kappi Gum (K3G)... screams and shouts and makes you think Kirron Kher is deivam compared to her. Her make up is terrible and her acting (barring the one where she cries for her son) worse.
My name is Akka Dutt
You can't stand her torture on NDTV, on twitter... you run out of the house only to find her following you to the theatre.. She does one emosional news bit. Ayyo!
My name is Superstar
Obama and gumbal in out of focus do a 'Baasha Superstar walk' towards Saaruk and gang. Soooper!
My name is Kooppadu
Ok, this film has an Islamic background. But why does each and every song sound very Rahat Fateh Ali Khan- Shafqat Aman Ali –ish. The songs start straight with a koopaadu… Nooreeeeeeekhudaaaaaaaaaaa…. Sajdaaaaaaaaa (a sound-alike of the beautiful Iktara)...etc?
My name is yawn
Are you on of those whose facebook page is filled with status messages like “ I lrnt a lot fm MNIK…", “Sharuk rocks!” ‘Spread love n peace! Kjo is the best!” “Humanity is humane… We are all one world” etc? Beware!! Don't trust these messages. Don't waste your time, money and energy watching S-I-C-K... i mean M-N-I-K! (rendum onnudan)
Saaruk-ji - Jogarji - please rename your film as
My name is Kodumai - 1 out of 5. Stay out of the theaters !

LOL-ed on the Major Sundarrajan reference :)
Thx for saving 10$, My name is Escape..
good post, also please put a english translation behind each tamil words like kathal koochal etc, others will b able to appreciate it fully
My name is Khan paththilaam theriyaadhu but your name is Kaamedy :D
Oho. My name is gone case pola. Ok. But one suggestion. I urge you to rate movies unlike those cadbury people and do this instead
1 - dont waste bandwidth
2 - watch on youtube (part 1 of 17..)
3 - download torrent/xvid
4 - wait for TV release
5 - watch in theatre
Thanks and Regards
soooopperrrrrr!
Romba soopar post!!
I am naan on a mission to clear the name of naan. I have been falsely implicated as an elite food item by the chapatti conspiracy. But I am just a humble naan. Support me in my heroic quest to meet Obama and clear the name of naans everywhere.
ur name is blogeshwari and this review rocks....v true...was cringing in my seat in most scenes......hammin hammin hammin left right n center
My name is Raj Thackeray and I'm in love with you. Will you marry me?
Hilarious post, btw. And oh, you misspelled Karan Jogar as "Karaj Jogar". That's a big insult to the gay community.
MNIK was a mega-serial. And what's with the 'Nai-nai-Naina' theme all throughout the flick, a trademark of Vikraman.
Hilarious! (Although many of the regional references went beyond me.)
BTW, since when did Sumeet Raghavan become a talented actor? Did I miss a movie or two? (Or am I missing the joke here?!)
Interesting, and funny review. Does anyone agree that the film stereotypes African Americans?
http://www.the-nri.com/index.php/2010/02/film-review-my-name-is-khan/
My name is roughlolu. Whatu patients to write review.
Can't agree more :). I still can't believe i wasted 10 bucks on this that too on a Sunday night. The whole movie was such a fake and I don't know why there are any positives reviews for this movie in the first place. These days everyone wants to take movies about terrorism and are desperately trying to send some message across with such movies (as though they are trying to save the world or something). One thing they need to realize is that they are not accomplishing even one bit...
Great review Blogeswari!!
Yes! Yes! You have taken the revenge!
LOL Blogeswari ! you are my one stop shop for movie reviews you know!
in my household it is like "Sorry family Blogeswari says dont see means dont see'
Keep up the humanitarian relief efforts!
enna kodumai saaruk thy name EKSTN instead of MNIK
never liked karan johar's movies.
how can this hindi vikraman considered as a good dir.
Soooperrrrrrrrrr...........
funniest review ever! keep them coming..and loved all the old digs at tamil films which we rarely see! thanks.
Appada..danks Blogeswari..saved our $20. May be it is not even worth 3 movies for $5 DVD!!!
wow fantastically expressed. and thanks for saving my money toooo !!!
I laughed like crazy after reading your review. My friend told me I will hate the movie from the depth of my heart and now after reading your review am damn sure about it.
You are the best for reviews blogeshwari...btw Aayirathil Oruvan review please...I get very mixed reviews
Ahaa the comparison with Saroja devi - konnuteenga ponga
ROTFL at Soroja Devi connection!
Blogeswari, I can't wait for your review on "Tamizh Padam'
ha ha ha ha ha ROTFLMAO!!!
Thank God the film was released because I could de-stress myself with a review like this...No, I have no intention of watching an SRK film anyway! I knew the hype (only) would carry it through and your review says it all! ROFL:)))
Loved your review! have no intentions of watching any bollywood movie !!!Thanks for the Laugh!
Hi, First timer here. Got it in my shared feed and absolutely loved it.
Very well written post, funny and yet helped me to realise how to stop the kashta kaalam from coming near me - Escape out of MNIK !!!
theater pakkam poi sontha selavula sooniyam vachukittu, appuram vanthu intha post parkka vendi irukku.. nimitham :(
haha...good one!
Ha ha ha
My name is sirippazhagi after reading this review. Loved the comparison to saro mami and sunderrajan mama.
Ha ha ha ha
LOL! My name is ramya and i like ur review. :)
Besht reviews are unpaid for.:-)
LOVE IT! great review.
I hate Saarook and Karaj Jogar...they are modern time Sivaji Ganesan! However, could never express myself like you did!!! Awesome review 'Blogeswari Kameswari'!!
I paid 100 bugs at fame nasik rd. was happy it wasnt like 250 i spent on 3i or ishqiya... Thankfully kiron kher wasnt there in the movie, we had that actress of 'tara' serial fame instead. Movie story could have been treatment to get better product, but then its bollywood-jai ho.
Hi Blogeswari, I'm an ardent follower of ur blog. I never expected such a harsh review for MNIK. Seems that you want to seek attention by giving an extremely opposite review. Y dont u accept such concepts? I don't refer to u. Generally our ppl don't accept (can't digest) if a person from our country does some excellent work. But they rave about a mediocre Hollywood flick. Definitely this is the Best work of Karan and SRK, though not Kajol. Both of them has matured a lot from their regular candy-floss romance. U have given a very good review for Love Aajkal which is a very average flick and cant be compared to MNIK's standard. Even those who dont like SRK & Karan would love this movie. Pls look the movie as a movie and dont compare with reality.
-My Name is Kaarthik.
P.S: I love the Saroja Devi's comparison though.

I dunno why.. but i kept reading 'saaruk' as 'sarakku' everytime..
my fb status was - my name is karaj jogar and i am a loosu!
SRK's airport detention in US & Shiv Sena opposition... all these publicity stunts for My Name is Kodumai??? Nonsense... They are the stalwarts of our cinema.. dint u see them upholding the coutry's name in Mile Sur Bhajan? How can i u review the historic landmark film like this???
Btw i loved ur review :):)

Hey dear... very nice post hilarious one .. but don' force your personal opinion on others... its too much yaar ...Movie wasn't that bad ... depends on, by what feelings, YOU went to watch movie ... that doesn't mean movie wasn't worth... although senseless at some places... movie ain't that bad .... Cheers Girl !

My name is (s.r.)khan and i don't overact !!!!
i have a thing about journalists, you dont want to do' the good thing' ever, what is wrong with a movie that teaches simple thing....whats wrong with a movie that differentiates, please if its melodramatic, go tell me which hollywood a-listed movie isnt. Damn' you have taken money but from the wrong camp sweety. Sincerely advising you, stay where you are, do what you do, and you will be no where. actually no wonder, i dont know who you are.
