My name is Khan


I haven't got the opportunity to watch MNIK, but after reading some positive reviews, i couldn't help thinking about something that happened a month ago. I was out with some friends and we were casually talking about dumb meaningless bollywood flicks, when someone talked about MNIK and how Shahrukh has tried to make a decent movie after all, the last being Chak De. I don't know what got into me but soon I was screaming about how bad the movie is going to be and how Sharukh Khan will deceive the audience like the way he always does these days with his nonsensical flicks like "Rab Ne..".I was very critical about the movie and Sharukh in particular, because in my mind he had failed me with all the crap movies he had done in recent times. And I thought I was right, I don't know about that but what I am sure of is that I have become extremely critical nowadays.
In fact i realized that i have been critical of everyone and anyone these days, and its not only me, everyone around me is doing the same. Hardly have i seen die hard fans who will forgive some(or more) mistakes by their favorite stars. People like me are ready to pounce on any opportunity we get to criticize anyone , even though all our lives we had been praising them.
What has happened? Where has the unconditional love gone? Where is the positivity?
Since when have i became such a cynic. Well i don't know, maybe its the kind of people i am hanging out with or the kind of generation i am living in.Its just a thought that came in my mind when i realized that i may be completely wrong about MNIK.
Am i falling in the unending pool of negativity? Or is it all of us..
Food for thought :)
