The adult Rizwan marries a Hindu single mother, Mandira, in San Francisco. After 9/11, Rizwan is detained by authorities at LAX who mistake his disability for "suspicious" behavior.

My Name Is Khan Movie Review

: by rajkrsen from India
Just back from the Mumbai Fox office after watching portions of the final edit of My Name is Khan. Fox guys were really keen whether the $16 million they spent in buying the rights are justified? The answer is a resounding yes. This film is gonna blow away mainstream Hollywood if properly marketed. Shah Rukh Khan is in the role of his lifetime and as Rizwan Khan, he is in his best performance ever. Kajol is at her usual best and the chemistry between the leading pair is something to die for. The climax is the crux of the movie, and the 2nd half is so compelling that people will just stand up and give a standing ovation to the maker, Karan Johar. Shibani Bathija needs to be credited for such an awesome screenplay, and Ravi Chandran's cinematography gives the film an international look. The theme is tailor made for North America, and as I already mentioned, if marketed properly, this one has potential to gross $20-30 million in North America alone. Having said that, being primarily a love story, it has all the right items to hit the Indian box office. Due to the lead pair coming back after 10 years, the hype in India is inexplicable.

Overall, I would give it a 8.5/10 rating, and advise everyone to celebrate Valentine's with KHAN.

Russian Beauty

Were I to envision a perfect illustration of what I'd consider 'textbook beauty'... well, I'd imagine the fantasy might look something akin to this model...
Ok, granted my fantasies haven't exactly reached the stage of incorporating visions of Russian sailors saluting sans shirt (... well, at least not just yet)... But let's just say for a coherent blog post's sake, were I to imagine just one example of male beauty (with of course a little help from one of my favorite Russian photographers), I'd imagine perhaps it might indeed look something akin to this man...

Classy, sexy, handsome, powerful... I think I'd pretty much have to run the gamut of adjectives in trying to classify Russian model Anatoli here...
So I figured for the sake consistency, I might as well simply settle for Just Beautiful...

These phenomenal shots of Anatoli were taken by a photographer who I truly believe may be one of the future greats... 26 year-old Russian photographer Andrei Vishnyakov. Although perhaps not fully represented in just these shots, his wildly unconventional style balanced by a perfect sense of aestheticism is truly reminiscent of the vintage photographers... I'm thinking maybe a modern-day Bob Mizer? Either way I'm sure we're dealing with a master craftsman here of the highest order cool...
As for Anatoli himself... I think I'll add the term cool to my earlier gamut of adjectives... or is just friggin' hot the term I'm looking for? confused...

Morning Coffee

This... would make an awesome Folgers ad, don't you think? A nice cup of a coffee in the morning, with a kiss from a loved one (perhaps a friend?)... So simple, so hot, and yet so wholesome...

Not that I have anything against 'unwholesome' per se cool... But I just love this shot. Plus you can't really even see the models' faces and I still think it's fantastic mrgreen...

Just... err... hot?

I honestly, genuinely, could not tell you what it is that captivates me about this picture... I really just don't know confused...

But rest assured I am captivated mrgreen... I'm thinking perhaps it's the way the light reflects off his face ever so softly... Or maybe it's the symmetrical nature of the face shot?... Either that or perhaps the ever presently defined (yet not too overbearing) abs... Or maybe it's just the shorts, I don't know. The whole package just works with this unknown hottie cool. Plus something tells me he'd look great as my latest Iphone wallpaper smile.
