BERLIN — The thing about some Bollywood superstars is that they are actually fine actors as well as charismatic performers. So it’s not surprising in “My Name Is Khan” to see Bollywood mega-star Shah Rukh Khan — he’s light-years beyond a mere superstar in Hindi cinema’s cosmology — challenge himself to expand his acting range and possibly his international fan base. In convincing fashion, he plays an Indian in America battling the double whammy of living with Asperger’s Syndrome and as a Muslim man in the post-9/11 world. The film is getting released in India, North America and many other territories Feb. 12, but its North American distributor, Fox Searchlight, adopted the puzzling strategy of playing the film out of competition here at the Berlinale but refusing to screen it to U.S. press ahead of its release. With Shah Rukh Khan as your star, you can get away with this since worldwide grosses for his films tend toward the stratosphere. But it’s a pity that the non-Indian press are discouraged from shouting out the news about a film that delves compellingly into Americans’ anti-Muslim hysteria. True, the film veers into melodrama and contrivances in the second half. Yet its director/co-writer Karan Johar is, here and in other films, trying to bring fresh ideas to Hindi commercial cinema with a little less masala and a dash more reality to its fantasy stories. Johar, Khan and co-star Kajol, who all worked on Johar’s smash hit “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” (1998), reunite on this mu...

A Muslim man with Asperger’s Disorder must deliver a message to the president to reclaim the woman he loves. Rizwan Khan is a young Indian man with Asperger’s Disorder. A literal interpretation of an angry statement from his estranged wife Mandira leads him on a quest to deliver a personal message to the President of the United States that he is not a terrorist. Khan’s quest to fix things with Mandira leads him into adventure, misfortune and friendship as his Asperger’s Disorder, and with it its proclivity towards restricted interests and obliviousness to social cues, both helps and hinders Khan’s efforts to win Mandira back. Neuropsychological Review Julia Grayer My Name Is Khan isn’t a film about Asperger’s Disorder; rather it is a film about a man with Asperger’s Disorder. Before we ever meet Rizwan Khan, we learn from a placard... that he suffers from this developmental disorder. The film never explicitly explains what Asperger’s is, but as the story unfolds it becomes clear that Khan is different from his family and peers and that this difference stems from his disorder. Nevertheless, the greatest triumph of the film is that it portrays the condition not as something that limits Khan, but rather as something that enriches both him and everyone around him. A hallmark of Asperger’s Disorder is that people with the disorder often interpret language very literally, and it is this literal interpretation of language that sets Khan’s journey into motion. After he and his wif...
