I know this is late, but I had to write about this movie. I watched yesterday on a dvd that I rented a month ago and I must say the movie moved me. Ofcourse, there was a lot of filmy drama but loved the message that it brought out in the end. The cast was amazing, especially Sharukh ( though there are scenes where he forgets that he has Aspergers and acts like a super hero, but I shall forgive him for this) and ofcourse we have kajol, who was amazing as usual especially in the scene where she loses her son. Shankar Ehsaan Loy provided a magic touch with their music and numbers like'tere naina' and 'noor e khuda' is simply wonderful.
Interesting point that I thought was, would the movie have worked if the protagonist was not Aspergers. I mean, it was not considered 'normal' ( in layman's terms) and hence it was possible to imagine him to spread the message of peace and love. If the hero was an ordinary person wanting to spread peace would it have made the same impact?
It definetly strenghtened my resolve to spread the message of peace and love of my Master so much more. There is no roomfor hatred in this world. The movie does show and people who hate also suffer and kudos to karan Johar for attempting such a movie. I suggest all those who havent watched it yet, to watch it :)
P.s More importantly depiction of the disorder was more or less accurate. Usually it so happens in the name of creativity wrong notions are spread but thankfully that was avoided here.

After seeing the song, I also thought he has some problem in this movie. usually avoid such movies (basically dramatic hindi movies)
Will check it out.
enjoy your seva:-D
Finally I saw "my name is khan". I thought having the disease didn't make any difference in the way the story was told. It would have been the same way even if he didn't have the disease. But may be quality of his perseverance would not have been there if he was not sick like that. Of course loved 'tere naina'
Kutti, you should see the movie "Atma katha", a sreenivasan movie. I rate it one of the best movies I have seen.
