My name is Khan – and this is a film

-- TP Saran 

As an Indian guy once said, while buying a ticket for a film, ‘when you go to see an Indian film, leave your brains at the counter as you buy the ticket!’ The primary purpose – and concern -- of the filmmaker is commercial: to make money. That this is so is confirmed in the case of the film My Name is Khan by the actor Shah Rukh Khan himself in an interview, when he states, ‘I thought if My Name is Khan doesn’t release, it doesn’t. I told my partners Karan and Fox Star Studios, I would make up for the losses.’

This was in the wake of the street protests mounted by the Shiv Sena of Bal and Uddhava Thackeray against the release of the film, which was linked to some remark made earlier by the actor regarding the recruitment of Pakistani cricketers to play in the IPL team which he owns.
