Pratap Simha > Others > Kaan Kholke Suniye Mr. Khan!

Kaan Kholke Suniye Mr. Khan!

“My Name Is Khan….released on 12th Feb … the movie can be summed up quite simply in one word ‘Horrible”!!If you need 2 words, then “Bull Shit”!!A 3 word review:  “It’s sheer torture”! ‘Pain in the ass’ is the 4 word summary.

Sit through this lousy movie for 3 hrs and tell me if you don’t agree!

I watched the 3-D flick AVATAR  @ Urvashi Cinema(a theatre in Bengaluru) on my last visit .. Got a Coke & Popcorn free. I watched MNIK at the same place, and wondered why they didn’t give at least ONE Anacin tablet free!!On the eve of it’s release, this lousy movie got the wholehearted support of Barkha Dutt (NDTV) and Rajdeep Sardesai {CNN-IBN} “Go watch MNIK, give, an answer to the Shiv sena”. It left me with a sinking feeling of how the media misleads the general public. What an honourable deed indeed, from this very Sardesai, who, as recently as 2 ½ months ago created such a brouhaha about ‘paid news’ and it’s follies!

For all this, what’s in this MNIK ? The dialogue “Mr. President {Bush}, my name is Khan, but I’m not a terrorist” runs in a nauseatingly repetitive manner throughout the movie. It’s irritating, disgusting and maddening, to say the least! To spread the message that all Muslims are not terrorists, they’ve created this crashing bore of a 3 hr movie… MNIK!!! After all, did anyone say that all Muslims are terrorists? Even a dimwit wouldn’t!! Yet, why is Shahrukh so consumed by this guilt? Where’s the need to shout from the rooftops that all Muslims are not terrorists? Let’s take this further, WHY did this need to shout, arise?

You have shown that America views all Muslims, all those with ‘Khan’ as their surname, as terrorists. Tell us, Mr. Khan,

WHO are * Mohd. Atta * Abdul Azeez Almori * Majid Maqib * Nawab Al Hazmi *Fayeed Rasheed *   Mohd. Algamdi * Hamdaa Algamdi *Khalid Almidar , who bombed  The World Trade Centre on Sep 11th, 2001 and killed 2995 innocent people?

WHICH are the countries supporting and financially aiding those mentioned above?

Isn’t it AFTER the WTC bombings that Americans started viewing all Muslims with suspicion?

Hello, Mr. Shahrukh Khan, WHO killed the 11 people  in the RDX explosions in Pune, the day after your movie was released?

WHO is responsible for *The Lumbini Garden bombing in Hyderabad * Coimbatore Blasts * Ahmedabad & Surat Bomb blasts * The train bombings in Spain *The London bombings * The Akshardham attacks * The Parliament attacks * The Mumbai attacks ??

WHO is spreading panic and terror in the name of all merciful GOD??

WHO is stooping so low as to attack and terrorise innocent women and children from other religions?

You feel humiliated when KAANS (ears) become alert and suspicious on hearing the name Khan; have you EVER FELT the depths of pain and agony of the common man who’s lost his parents, his wife and his child in the bombings from people of YOUR community, MR. KHAN???

Is it so difficult for you to feel the pain of children from other religions when they die AGONISING deaths?

Forget about Israel and America; what have WE INDIANS done to you? WHY are we killed in bomb blasts on roads, in restaurants, houses, marketplaces??

WHO is it that’s killing us this way?? To WHICH RELIGION do *Mullah Omar * Osama Bin Laden *Mohd. Ali Zarkhawi * Ilyas Kashmiri , belong???

If you want to justify your stand saying “Terror has no religion” PRAY…. WHY then do YOU ‘OWN ‘the above mentioned as “one of your own”?

WHY is your sick movie running to packed houses in Pakistan, Arab countries and Britain, even when it FLOPPED in INDIA? In WHAT frame of mind are the people who collect funds in Karachi, Islamabad and Dhaka, with the aid of Mullah Omar & Bin Laden’s posters?

WHO is portraying these TERRORS of CIVILISED SOCIETY as HEROES?

WHO created for themselves the atmosphere of SUSPICION? Agreed, there are thorns to civilised human society to be found in each of the thousand castes, creeds, communities and religions of the world.

WHY, then, is it that only Muslims are singled out for suspicion where others aren’t?

Sure, there are traitors and anti-social elements to be found aplenty even among Hindus. If inflicting pain can be labelled “terror”, then, Naxalites are terrorists too! All the Naxalites are Hindus, the major difference here, is that NO HINDU would ever accept a Naxalite as ‘ one of our own’!! We call them anti-social elements, and ask that they be eliminated only with the use of force! These Naxalites are being quietly hunted down in a secret mission, ‘Operation Green Hunt’, by none other than HINDU soldiers! But, why do Pakistani soldiers and the ISI support so blatantly, the Jihadis?

What can we call this mindset? On what basis do the Islamic Terrorists call for Separate Homelands in The Philippines, Thailand and China’s Xinjiang region?

To which religion do they belong, those who kill thousands of innocents in bomb attacks, in the name of religion? Your call for Separatism is heard in The Philippines, China, Thailand, even Britain and America!!

Where’s the guarantee that you will not demand separate homelands, in each and every district and state, where you turn into the majority community, either by political arm-twisting or terror tactics??

Then again, on WHAT basis is Pakistan claiming Kashmir as it’ s own?

On what basis have Kashmiris plunged headlong into the Separatist struggle? Is it not RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM playing on YOUR minds in all of the above instances?

We have no better example than Kashmir to understand what happens to the rest of the people when Muslims turn into the majority!!

When the match-fixing scandal surfaced, we mercilessly threw Azharuddin out of our psyche , just as we did Ajay Jadeja and Nikhil Chopra . Though Jadeja emerged Victorious, being proved innocent, we never stopped suspecting him!! But what did Azhar do? Instead of denying the allegations and facing an enquiry, rather than appealing to the court, he claimed that “I’m being made a scapegoat just because I’m a Muslim”, when he got caught!!Through this he’s clearly accepted that he’s a traitor!!

Who sent such a heinous traitor to parliament today? Why was the Hyderabadi Azhar made to contest from Moradabad? Isn’t the fact that Moradabad has a Muslim majority the sole reason?

Don’t you feel the NEED for INTROSPECTION, MR.KHAN?? Even Hindus have facilitated victories of cheats and looters, but have they EVER sent a TRAITOR to Parliament?

Isn’t the “GHETTO mentality” of a particular Community glaringly obvious here?

Hindus like Rakesh Sharma and Rahul Dholakia have made documentaries and feature films about the Modi Govt. and the Hindu Khattar community; regarding the 2002 Gujarat violence. 700 Muslims died in the Gujarat violence… more than 10,000 Hindus have died as victims of terrorism in Kashmir. More than 7 Lakh Hindus have been displaced from their homeland, living in refugee camps.

Which Muslim has made documentaries and feature films about their plight? In the wake of the IPL team selection controversy, you issued a statement that “Pakistanis are good neighbours”!

How did you have the heart to make such a statement, Sharukh Khan??

From which country are the terrorists who attacked Mumbai on 26th Nov 2008 and killed183 Indians? Where is Kasab from?

WHICH country is responsible for ALL the bomb blasts in India right up to now? Do you know what Pakistani fast bowler Sohail Tanveer said to the Pakistani media after the IPL controversy? “The zehneeyat( nature by birth] of Hindus is like this” ! A Pakistani journalist added to this by saying “Ram Ram is the chant, but a dagger by their side”. It’s another issue that the great Indian secular media, which creates a controversy over every statement written by Baal Thackeray in ‘SAAMNA’; conveniently chose to cover up Sohail Tanveer’s insulting and infuriating statements!!

When it comes to promoting your movie MNIK, you keep tweeting day and night,  Sharukh Khan…just go to You Tube,  see for yourself and hear Sohail Tanveer’s demeaning statements…..on what basis do you say “Pakistanis are good neighbours” , of a country which is filled with people only of this mindset?

You really have a very narrow frame of mind!

We never supported Tamilians, who were one of us, in their Separatist struggle. There may have been strikes and disturbances in TN for political reasons. But we sent our own Army in1987 to quell Prabhakaran. Except the Tamilians, none from Hindu society protested against this action! But, why is it that you create a ruckus and stone buses in India, when there are disturbances in Israel or Iraq??

There is this scene in MNIK, where a banquet has been arranged with the American president, for which entrance fee of $500 is charged .When Shahrukh wants an entry after paying up, the lady in charge there says ”Honey, this is only for Christians”! Have you ever come across at anytime, anywhere, Christians restricting a fundraiser to ‘Christians only’?! However much we may find fault with their missionary zeal in Conversions, none can point an accusing finger at the generosity of either Christians or Christian organisations!! Where was the necessity to portray Christians in a bad light? Today, it’s not just one religion which suspects you. The entire world looks at you suspiciously… WHY?

NDTV’s Barkha Dutt  asked Uddhav Thackeray of the Shiv Sena, “Are you creating such a big racket because Shahrukh Khan is a Muslim?” , in light of the controversy which had arisen before the release of MNIK. Just imagine what would be the scenario, if Hindus had looked upon The Three Khans, Aamir, Shahrukh and Salman as Muslims. They wouldn’t be stars on the small screen even, let alone superstars!!! If Shahrukh Khan is a big star today, remember it’s because of the love and faith of Hindus too!!We have always looked upon Shahrukh, Aamir, Salman, Saif, Bismillah Khan, Amjad Ali Khan, A R Rehman, Alla Rakha and Abdul Kalam as Indians, never as Muslims! Their religion has NEVER been important to us! This is why so much had to be written. If an ordinary person, any Tom, Dick or Harry had made this kind of movie, who would’ve bothered? But, Shahrukh being such a popular star, there are enough people hanging on to every word he utters as the Gospel truth. It’s unethical and unfair to make misleading movies, which create animosity and vitiate the atmosphere. Learn at least something from Aamir who has made movies with a social message like Sarfarosh, Lagaan, Taarein Zameen Par and 3 Idiots! Else, someday in the near future, people will say, “Shahrukh sucks”!!

    Shahrukh would have become a religious fundamentalist or a extremist,if he were not become an actor……..hez not grateful to indians……for him religion comes first

  3. Gautam says:

    It really made a good reading Pratap. Just as you referred to the youtube video of shoaib tanveer, I opened a new tab and saw the video. Its so cheap man! Comming to the regligion, no muslim every has acknowledged that their religion has to do with the disturbances happening all over the world. We had a muslim president, primeministers, national level sportsmen and in many other fields. But still they say, they are not treated equally. Today, the whole muslim community in India views RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal as their enemies. But these units are born out of the misdeeds of Islam and Islamic extremist groups. Its high time they understand their own religion well and stay quiet or else such religion will not survive long enough….

    MR Prathap Simha.Firstly the so called free coke and pop corn was a way to fool movie goers.First increase ticket price then add coke and pop corn to it .Then claim its free.U r one of those fools who got tricked.I am not a muslim still i strongly condem ur idiotic and biased opinion
    Open up a little Mr.U being a journalist you are spreading such a provocative message.
    Have some sense before u pen down something like this.I would have watched this movie evenm if there was no controversy.Its the story thats catching the eye not the emotional quotient
    You are creating same kind of hoax feeling which varun gandhi tried in pilibhit.

    Good one. The message you tried to give is well expressed.

  9. sanjeev Purohit says:

    Hello Pratap,

    We Indians after having seen Shahrukh so many years. Now we feel that this person is not Indian. He is only a Muslim. He is just follwing the Jihadi muslim foot steps.They do not respect mother land. I am remember Dr.Radhkrishnan saying ” Mental Slum is more dangerous than material slum”. This guy has ceredted huge mass of mental slum within him self and parted it to the rest of the world by media. This film is all about tranfering his mental slum to others. It is dangerous to human society.

    DO NOT BUY THE PRODUCT ENDORSED BY THIS PERSON

    MEDIA STOP PROMOTING THIS PERSON

    sir in INDIA many mosques is their in every street but in pakistan no temples is their in every district.
    In India Church’s r attacked by some persons den the media persons shouts as its the revenge of Hindhus,wat about the temple in bagalkote districty guddadhahalli a temple was destroyed by some minority communities
    In hassan arali mara was burned, in bidar nandhikatte was removed,
    In chickmagalur naagar kallu was covered with chappals nd etc no media persons isued dis matters.
    Our primeminister told that”INDIA first belongs to MINORITIES”wat about MAJORITIES .

  11. seshu says:

    @concerened

    First- you could have at least left your name, if you were really concerned. And offer some sanity to your toungue before you cackle another comment.

    “I am not a muslim still i strongly condem ur idiotic and biased opinion.”

    You mean every Muslim would condemn what he said? Ask some of the progressive intellectuals in Pakistan, they’ll give an answer by explaining how the primitive ideas in Islam are screwing the world and their own country.

    “Open up a little Mr.U being a journalist you are spreading such a provocative message.”

    He always gives provocative messages. What is the new thing that u r suggesting?

    “Have some sense before u pen down something like this.”

    Wow! Fantastic you are ‘preaching’ is it? If you really have not understood the context and the rational points that he has given, I’d recommend u recheck ur sense faculty.

    “I would have watched this movie evenm if there was no controversy.Its the story thats catching the eye not the emotional quotient. You are creating same kind of hoax feeling which varun gandhi tried in pilibhit.”

    Aaah man! you are too incoherent about what you are say and this doesn’t even deserve a reply. You’d rather choose to remain in the choicest mire!

  12. Suma Hegde says:

    U R Absolutely ryte………
    Message has been very well expressed

  13. Hi
    HI
    What you have written is right . When I was in college one day I was accompanied with my college mate (a Muslim) to maszid we are talking about terrorism only I was pointing out the terrorists not the Muslims who are destroying peace of country he suddenly raised his voice ‘what can you people do? You cannot do anything. we kept all guns bombs safely in maszid that will be used when time comes. just wait for it ‘ A 19 year boy plans to destroy India He is waiting for the order of some leader. And more than that he is student studying with us in India. How ridiculous.
    The article ‘Khan kholker…’should be published in all papers

  15. Vinay says:

    Watch the movie `A Wednesday’, starring Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher. It is reply for MNIK

  16. Niveditha says:

    Hello. I’ve not seen the movie and I will not comment about it…
    And I think you’ve somewhat of a moot point. I didn’t get what you’re trying to prove here. Come on, this is just a movie. Made for pure entertainment. You’re cutting it into pieces without meaning…

    And I agree that all terrorists are muslims and muslim countries like Pakistan also support these terrorists. But you cannot generalize and say all muslims are terrorists. You’re not getting the bigger picture here. When Shah Rukh spoke about the IPL, nobody knew whether he was narrow enough to consider this as a India-Pakistan war. But we as Indians should perceive that his intentions were good. I’m not Shah Rukh Khan’s biggest fan. But he has contributed a lot to the nation, in whatever way… In a bigger way than you and me. So it makes some sense to think about it before we point fingers at him.

  17. Chaitra Arjunpuri says:

    I agree with u Pratap.

  18. Rashmi says:

    Hi Mr Pratap Simha, I personally agree to your each & every point written in this article about “My Name Is Khan” but what do u think is the real reason because of which people are not able to see the reality or rather accept it. We being Indians, its high time we react. I recently finished reading Mr. S L Byrappa’s “Avavrana”…In this book i think wat he has conveyed is the best. He says tht dont hide the truth & portray certain misdeeds of certain so called famous people as “Heroes” when actually they are not. But bringing out the reality in present scenario is becoming more & more difficult…..what do you suggest in such issues?…I’l be glad if u reply for my comment.

    “Why the hell, they want to stand separate. Why do they do such things which makes them look different from rest. Why can’t they just forget talking ‘religion’ and start living the life….dude”

    thanks for writing this.

  26. moortep says:

    every political party/leader tries to cater to a vote bank….people of all religions have wielded the sword of terror against the minority from time immemorial…some more and some less….

    there was nothing so offensive in this movie that warranted such a lengthy diatribe against the muslims in general….

    i am a hindu but that really doesn’t matter….stop spreading wrath against human beings and feelings of spurious vengeance….

    there are lot of sites and whole league of folks trying to do what you are doing here….spread some love if you want to be different…

  27. Jhalak DasRoy says:

    Very well written and thought provoking. Thanks a ton for writing this. It should be published and distributed throughout the country.

    Re:Niveditha

    You are not getting the point he is trying to convey. The movie portrays other communities in a bad light and upholds muslim community as if they alone are the victims of terrorism. Aren’t the makers biased and generalized the hate against muslims? As far the comments on IPL is concerned, recently it has been a way to gain publicity in bollywood whenever a new film is about te be released. Shahrukh did the same thing else why would he rake up the issue just before the release of his film. The statements itself say that they were nothing but a senseless irresponsible lines issued by a superstar to gain the much obtained pulicity let alone his intentions. Talking of contributions, which are limited to entertainment industry are in no way related to our nation and national security. Only the sufferers are able to measure the pain undergone during the recent Pune or 26/11 attacks not Shahruks Khan.

  30. Rob says:

    SRK has played the victim card in reel life as well as real life too often

    Reel Life
    1. My Name is Khan – playing a victim as a Muslim
    2. Chak De India – playing a victim as a Muslim
    3. Veer Zara – playing a Hindu victim with a Muslim wife.. mind you, Pakistan was shown in good light in this movie for obvious reasons
    4. Rab Ne – playing a victim as a husband who does not get love from his wife
    5. Kal Ho Na Ho – victim of cancer

    Real Life
    1. Newark airport fiasco – played a victim
    2. MNIK release – played a victim of Shivsena bullying.
    3. Always refers to himself being an outsider, thus playing a victim

    Will he please grow up and act matured

    Good article.

    Pratap Simha Sir, Your Article is very defining and has to be agreed by all of us
    I have not watched the movie , but for sure , we have accepted all religion and people with out any distinction , today movie are not just movies ,media and its statements are not being same, we need to reach people with actual facts and not with prejudice object ,we never addressed you as a pure Hindu, Instead we called you as Prominent Media Person.In India where we needed to live in brother hood feel ,but today its not being possible, their are many reasons and black holes but, each one of us shell try to do some thing ,so that benefits all of us, do we have to state like this, All Politicians are Culprits does it mean ,movies is not just for entretainment
    I am sure Good Movie shell have a opted message and accepted by many, Pratap Simha your words are really roaring ( simha da garjane bari garjanealla )

  33. AK says:

    hello Pratap,
    a very well written article indeed, but to look into the heart of the matter, u have not done anything better than anyone else?
    Is ur issue against a particular religion or the movie? U have used the cushion of the movie to spit venom against a community…. the movie by no means tries to justify atrocities in any manner and is just a story of a guy with Asperger’s syndrome trying his bets to win back his love…. and it is a fact that the protagonist is looked down upon because of his religion… all facts…. if u wish to dissect the movie then u seem to have missed a scene where a mother tells her child that killing or violence(not to mention the religion of either) or of the actor in a place of worship speaking up against killing or violence….
    without doubt the community u speak about has always been on the aggressive side… they have never allowed minorities to survive wherever they have been a majority…. be it Pakistan where the Sikhs are murdered or Egypt, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, etc….
    they also have waged wars against each other in Iraq and have not peacefully co-existed anywhere – India, China, USA, England. and the list goes on….
    my only point was the fact that u start off with using the movie giving a headstart… probably to give ur article more PR….
    the christians would not prefer people of their own religion for anything, relief in the least, that’s surely a distorted fact….
    yes… post 9/11 in the world and rite from partition a community has been viewed with suspicion and the quest of the movie to show that one particular individual is not a terrorist is fair enough…. but it by no means tries to justify terrorism…..
    i personally do not agree with anything that any of the Mighty Thackerys may have to say – for one simple reason….. if they’re so very pro Hindu or Pro India…. i would like to know from them the Nationality and the Religion of the Biharis they harassed and killed????????????????????????????????????????? their propaganda is just crap….. they want votes and they would stoop to any level to get them…….

    will be back with more…

  34. Rohan says:

    Hello Mr. Pratap…
    Hats off to u, I feel it should be published in a national news paper.
    so can all indians(hindus) can come aware of it. It’s a good work sir..
    we r waiting for more such type of articles.
    Thanking you.

    Well written, all our youngsters should read this an eye opener for them

  36. P Santhosh Shetty says:

    Your article disclosed what is in behind of shahrukh. But Unfortunately we have Devegowda, Seetharam Yechuri , Girish Karnad, like these people in between us to insult our Indiani’sm. These people really the big burden for our Nation.

  37. Ranjan says:

    pratap, u were a great writer. u no more are.

    a year ago( after 26/11) u showered praises on SRK for accepting in his interviews “…. i am sad to see that 999 % of terrorists are muslims..” SRK was the only leading muslim figure to agree with it..

    your criticism should have limited to how poor the movie is rather than stupid personal attacks.

    personally, i didnt like the movie. really boring.

    your recent articles are being increasingly contradictory.

    sorry pratap, you are being exactly the type of journalists whom u have always criticized: WRITING WITHOUT PROPER STUDY AND RESEARCH.

    please step up anb be the brilliant journalist u once were otherwise people will say “Pratap really sucks…”

  38. govindraj says:

    reality and truth is told in this article.

  39. Shashank B L says:

    dear pratap,
    Your letter to SRK is just appropriate. Hope, he reads it, realises his blunders and corrects himself.

    I would like to point out another issue that dogging our country since long. “The temple of Ayodhya”. Well, if we were to believe that Rama’s birth really took place at Ayodhya, then there is substantial evidence that it belongs to the hindu community. If we consider that Rama was a mythical character, still the place belongs to the hindu community. How?

    When the Muslim emperor Babur came down from Ferghana in 1527, he defeated the Hindu King of Chittodgad, Rana Sangrama Singh at Sikri, using cannon and artillery. Mir Baqi, his general came to Ayodhya in 1528 and allegedly destroyed the temple. Mir Baqi then built a mosque on the site of the destroyed temple. This was called the Babri Masjid (Mosque), named after King Babar. It was originally called the Masjid-e-Janamsthan, the mosque of the birthplace, which appears to acknowledge that the mosque was built on Hindu holy ground…..:)

    And, the funny thing is the so-called “educated”, “most-civilised” ppl (even hindus) claim that its rights belong to the muslim community. We have existed here for thousands of years…we will for many more. We will accept muslims as our brethren, but they should not lay false claim on what did not, what does not and what shall never belong to them…the ‘ram janmabhoomi’…we can provide an alternate place in ayodhya..may be bigger in area…but let us retain what belongs to us…the place of birth of our dear lord Rama. Hope, this means some sense to most of you…thank you…jai hind
