But I still LOVE his movies. and my mom is crazy about him so we watch almost all his films in the theaters😆 so still with the sallu stuff I love him😆 but yeah back to MNIK. I think it was an outstanding performance. One of the best ever. Well, each to his own. :)

I did not find anything special abt the film...
I think it was too over rated ... over hyped... over appreciated...
Just my opinion... I know many of my close friends and many in my family liked it a lot and rave abt it quite a bit... Personally just did not appeal to me as much as a SRK film typically does do me...
If I have to rate SRK movies from recent times, his movies like Swades, CDI etc come on top...

It was the best Kjo movie IMO, actually his only good movie now that i think of it. Yes, it was cheesy just like any other BW movie but a lot less dramatic than other KJo movies. It wasn't perfect, so wasn't ghajini, 3 idiots or Dabaang but they were very successful...then why not MNIK? There were little special scenes that touched me a lot so I guess that's why it remains one of my fav BW movies. I LOVED SRK's performance, very different from what he's done with other roles. Atleast I for one didnt watch the movie for SRK-Kajol jodi cuz i m not a big fan of that pair. Kajol was terrific in her son's death only IMO. So yeah the kinds of crap movies BW make now or have made, MNIK stands out cuz it's not as bad as them...i wudnt call it "most special" movie but its still pretty special compared to other random movies =)

i liked the film.. Srk's acting was great in my opinion because the character was different than other act he did.. playing a asperger's syndrome's patient by a normal person and making it believe it to the audience is not easy.. i haven't read any reviews for this film so i don't know what they said but if they say he was worst then i disagree totally.. if its so easy then whoever says that should go and play the character to the extent Srk have done it..
the concept and story is praiseworthy...but there were many loops in the film and cheesy stuff by the end was not necessary... and i think the length of the film in the second half is a big minus point!!
Kajol i think looked really beautiful..i liked her even though people says she was OTT. i dont think she is.. ya she is loud but thats what the character mandira was about..there are much more actresses with their OTT performance which is more irritating to watch and gives me a whack type of feeling.. but at least Mandira made me smile..
overall MNIK is not perfect but it is far from a worst film category

wha's so special about MNIK...? well... what's so special about any of the other movies like rang de basanti, lagaan, 3 idiots, etc...? 😛😛
the only major difference i find, is that it's one of the few hindi movies to recieve so much appreciation outside of india... of course, MNIK does has a universal theme, and considering the 'muslim' issue, rouses curiosity... fact that a lot of non-desi people saw it and actually liked it, i find interesting...
they have a copy of MNIK at my local library, and mind you, we don't have a lot of desi people in our area... they don't have a copy of 3 idiots even... they do have Lagaan though...! 😊
so i think it's the international recognition that sets it apart from many other movies... of course, the theme is close to many muslim people's heart... just as rang de basanti is special to most of the indians, as it depits patriotism to india... so the theme is rather universal in that sense...!
the movie itself, obviously, isn't perfect... but SRK did well in it, as far as acting goes...
everyone has their own preference... there are those who probably watched it for the 'chemistry', which is usually the last thing on my list... then there are others, who probably hated the movie because of karan, srk or even the theme... yet there are others who liked it just for the theme and probably had little clue as to who srk was... or did not like it... hard to say, what appeals to who... to each their own...! 😛😛😛
