MNIK is Innocently Sincere!

The thing which i believe makes MNIK outstanding from other films is that this one got a soul of its own, very few films in India have a soul attached & MNIK is one of them, At first one may get a feeling that this film is a must watch for every Muslim but i beg to differ, i suppose this film is for every one who believes he has seen enough of life, When the character in the movie 'Rizwan Khan' chants his gospel from Quran using a rather unconventional stones & lands himself in the trouble with the authorities at the san francisco airport that conveys a very welknown fact abt just how ur language & religion which is of utmost awe to you becomes suspicious for others and very importanly MNIK tears apart you when u see them happening to a man which understands rarely abt life & world.

Rizwan Khan is some one who has very simple rules to lead life which will make many of us envy, for the matter of the fact that we all tend to make our life very complicated but here Rizwan has only 1 rule i.e. Good ppl & Bad ppl thats it. No other rules nor does he understand & nor he wants to follow. wish we too could have our life sorted to such an extend, He dosent understand why ppl make fun of him, he dosen't understand why his wife hates him, why ppl all over America hate him & to add to it he is even given to understand that the President of America hates him too. Inshort the Aspergers Syndrome (AS) which the character is affected with become his greatest strength.

The Most inspirational moment in the movie is when he is out to meet the president & has no money either to feed him or travel etc, he then poses with a placard reading 'Almost Repair Anything' , that is the moment which i believe we all can take home & remember for life, coz if a man who is not even 100% mentally & physically fit dosen't give up & fights for his survival believing that he will meet the most powerful man in the world then why we individuals blessed with every right thing frm god cry foul & loose hope in pursuing our own dreams?

Rizwan & MNIK teaches us that the less number of rules u have the less complicated ur life is.
Rizwan Khan is High on ethics & character, never lies, never cheats, never manipulates even when he is an underprivileged & knows he's not normal.
The film innocence is Rizwan Khan, he impishly demands what ever he believes be it sex too. thats the innocence of the character, the film is sincere coz it never losses its plot, it was determined to show us what it takes to be a Khan or Muslim from a person who is an Autistic.

The film reiterates the fact that may be ' All Terrorist are Muslim but not all Muslims are Terrorist'. MNIK if understood & empathized will leave you numb.
