First Pakistan-made cell phone would be available in the market within a year, Secretary of the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom Naguibullah Malik has said.

Talking to APP, he said: “Dialogue with China and British companies in this regard is underway and the first made-in-Pakistan mobile handset would be available in the market within a year.” To a question, he said the government was taking all possible measures to boost the IT sector. The secretary said the government was well aware of the problems being faced by the IT sector. “We will address all the problems of the IT sector,” he added.

Malik said for the promotion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector, there was a need for reaching a consensus among the government, IT industry, Telcos and academia to devise effective strategies for the best utilisation of available opportunities. He said focus on the IT and Telecom education, research, entrepreneurship and local industries could boost the ICT sector.

When one goes to see a Bollywood movie, the expectation is that it will be a tear-jerker in which a hero helps a damsel in distress, with strange yet colorful dance routines and their associated songs which Indian movies can hardly ever do without; include caste-class-economic and religious divisions to overcome and finally whatever different spin that a writer can put into the above.

Karan Johar’s “My Name Is Khan” diverges somewhat radically from this theme and is actually an experiment one would expect from often lower budget formula films originating from India that also have a smaller market worldwide. But if another film about the south-Asian Muslim experience in post 9/11 America had to be made, it just had to have Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, this time playing a character who cannot lie, is not handicapped but aided by Asperger’s Syndrome to help explain the truth about the other side of a new reality of being brown in America. Autistic individuals also tend to repeat their words (echolalia), thus the line “My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist” is repeated and forms the core of this movie.

Muslim, Rizvan Khan (Shah Rukh) is the unlikely autism impacted hero in this film and the leading lady Mandira (a divorced single Hindu mother played by Kajol) who initially rescues odd Rizvan in beautiful San Francisco (reminded this writer of Hassan Zee’s “Night of Henna” also filmed here). Soon after Rizvan befriends Mandira’s son Sameer and following several repetitions of “Marry me” by him, Mandira and Sameer end up being Khan’s too, in spite of opposition from Rizvan’s brother Zakir (Jimmy Shergill). Earlier, Rizvan’s tough life as a handicapped child in India creates the groundwork of the story during which his mother teaches him that there are two kinds of people in this world, good and bad and ones religion has very little to do with the category he or she falls into.

Shah Rukh Khan is a superb actor and it appears that he had done some research on playing autistic Rizvan. The core element of this malady is an inability to fully communicate with others, avoiding eye contact and not understanding the nuances hidden within the same words spoken in different situations. Crossword puzzles, Rizvan can do easily, but the lack of the ability to lie effectively gets him into trouble, especially when he is placed in the role of a salesman (there are some hilarious moments here). His odd ways of romancing Mandira also produce some chuckles, but American airport security is not humored by someone softly chanting Muslim prayers and saying that he wants to meet the President of the United States.

Few can argue that America is a changed country post 9/11. My Name Is Khan gives us a glance at life for Muslims (and other people who get mistaken for them) here both before and after that horrible attack. And worst of all, the tragedy of that day still lingers in various forms and there is still no going back. Mandira’s son Sameer or Sam faces this new reality with deadly consequences. Mandira reacts as a mother should but what about autistic Rizvan?

The movie started off with believable characters and a strong story. Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol have quite a history of screen chemistry together and the act their parts very well.

One would certainly give Shah Rukh the edge here because of the difficulty of his role.

And there are others in the movie that stand tall. The angelic Sonya Jehan as Haseena Khan certainly stands out as her grandmother’s voice once did.

The message here is delivered loud and clear, especially to Muslims worldwide. There is a scene in a Mosque in this movie that will raise some eyebrows. But still, the last part of this film is just too incredibly unbelievable and for that reason, it escapes the category of greatness. But then again, to be fair to the script writer(s), suggesting an ending to the events that started off with 9/11 is quite a difficult task. Nobody can predict the future, so any kind of closure remains elusive.

One can understand why My Name Is Khan was made. Thanks are in order to many people who became a part of this experiment, especially Shah Rukhs wife Gauri Khan. The music in this movie is good in the background and does not overpower the story segments and actually ends up enhancing them. One can recommend this film to all audiences, especially south-Asians, for its powerful message and good acting. It certainly cannot hurt India-Pakistan relations either. But it is not the usual entertainment that one has become accustomed to seeing out of Bollywood. My Name Is Khan is for the more serious movie buff who is willing to forego the usual song and dance and learn something useful in the process.

In conclusion, another movie did come to mind after watching this one. That was a Pakistani effort called Khuda Kay Liye (In the name of God) made just a couple of years ago. It did not have the “star power” of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol and the strength of Bollywood’s now global reach. India’s Naseeruddin Shah did a superb job acting in that film and if one might borrow Tariq Ali’s book title “The Clash of Fundamentalisms” made it a little more interesting than My Name Is Khan. But the message of both movies is similar. To borrow a couple of lines in Urdu by one of its greatest poets here:

Gala to ghont diya ehl-e-Madrassah ne tera, phir KahaN se aayay sada La ilaha illallah?

Koi To Ho Is Duniya Mein,
Koi To Ho Is Duniya Mein,
Jo Rahe Meri Saanson Mein,
Jo Rahe Is Dilki Dhadkan Mein,
Aisa Ho Tu Samne Aye Mere
Jisko Dekhkar Zindagi Ruk Jaye Meri,
Pyar Karunga Usko Zindagi Se Zyada,
Hojayega Wo Mere Apne Aapse Zyada,
Kahe Tu Is Duniya Mein Ho Mere Jaisa,
Koi To Hois Duniya Mein Mere Jaisa,
Pyar Kiya Tha Maine Jisko Is Duniya Mein,
Jo Jahan Bhul Gaya Tha Jiske Liye Main,
Bhool Gaya Tha Main Usko Dekhkar Har Kisiko,
Jee Utha Tha Usko Dekhte Hi,
Jaan Ban Gaye The Wo Meri Is Duniya Mein,
Soch Kar Jeeta Tha Jiski Yaad Ko Main Kahin,
Socha Na Tha Koi Hoga Is Duniya Mein,
Jisse Main Ye Kahun Ke Pyar Hai Tujhse,
Aankhon Mein Jiska Sapna Tha Mere,
Wo Dhundli Tasveer Thi Jiski Is Aankhon Mein,
Ek Din Samne Aaye Mere Is Tarah,
Duniya Ruk Gayi Ho Kuch Lamhe Ke Liye Jis Tarah,
Itne Pyare The Ke Samjha Nahi Pyar Kya Hai Us Waqt
Dekhkar Bhool Gaya Main Sabko Uska Chehra Dekhkar,
Jaise Aankhon Mein Tha Jo Chehra Saaf Hogaya Us Wakt,
Par Kuch Bol Na Sake Usko Us Wakt Dekhkar,
Ab To Yaad Aate Hai Wo Mujhko Har Waqt
Sochta Hoon Bol Deta Usko Us Wakt To Achha Hota,
Dekha Na Dekhenge Us Chehre Ko Phir Kabhi Zindagi Mein,
Kash Samajhne Aajaye Mere Wo Dilbar Wo Marne Se Pehle…

Zindagi Ki Ghani Dhoop Dhalne Se Pehlay
Umidon Ki Khushboo Bikharne Se Pehlay
Ik Roz Kabhi Ham Tum Se Milain
Usi Roz Chaman Main Phool Khilain
Usi Roz Main Apne Sab Qaidi
Yani Dukh Ke Sab Panchi
Reha Karoon Azad Karoon
Or Dil Ka Nagar Abad Karoon
Usi Roz Ho Yun Ke Ham Dono
Hathon Main Dalay Hathon Ko
Khushiyon Ke Reshmi Sahil Se
Ashaon Ke Gehray Sagar Main
Khawabon Ke Haft Rang Sooraj Ko
Kuch Der Tak Ruka Dekhain
Waqat Ko Thama Dain
Or Jab
Jis Pal
Jis Lamhe
Tum Dheray Se Mujhe Dekh Kar Hans Do
Sar Apna Mere Shane Pe Rakh Do
Tab Saans Meri
Mera Jeevan
Tere Naam Ho Jaye
Or Zindagi Ki
Bas
Wahin Par Shaam Ho Jaye!!!!

Mujhey Apni Mohabbat Ka Faqat Itna Bharam Dey Do
Jo Dil Ko Muztarib Rakhey Mujhey Kuch Aisa Gham Dey Do

Jahan Waalo Na Cheeno Mujh Say Yoon Mairi Mohabbat Ko
Mubarak Har Khushi Tum Ko Mujhey Maira Sanam Dey Do ….!

Mein Lafzoo Mein Kuch Bhi Izhar Nahi Karta.
Iss Ka Matlab Yeh Nahi Ke Mein Tujhe Se Pyar Nahi Karta.

Chahata Hoo Mein Tujhe Ajj Bhi Par.
Teri Soch Mein Waqt Apna Barbaad Nahi Karta.

Tamashah Na Baan Jaye Kahin Muhabbat Meri.
Iss Liye Apney Dard Ko Namoodar Nahi Karta.

Jo Kuch Mila Hai Usi Mein Khush Hoo Mein.
Tere Liye Khuda Se Taqrar Nahi Karta.

Per Koi To Baat Hai Teri Fitrat Mein Zalim.
Warna Mein Tuje Chahane Ki Khata Baar Baar Nahi Karta.

Kuch Door Hamare Sath Chalo Hum Dil Ki Kahani Kehden Ge
Samjhe Na Jise Tum Ankhoon Se Wo Baat Zubani Kehden Ge

Phoolon Ki Tarah Se Honton Pe Ik Shok Tabassum Bikhre Ga
Dheere Se Tumhare Kanoon Mein Ik Bat Zubani Kehde Ge

Mere Israar Per Aakhir
Bohat Majbuur Ho Ker Aaj
Mujhy Apni Nigaho’N Ki Udaasi
Sonp Di Us Ne
Bohat Bebas Bohat Tanha
Bohat Bikhri Mohabbat Ki Us Ne
Khalish Jo Us K Dil Mein Thi
Ab Wo Meri Amanat Hy
Shikasta Lehjy Ki Jitni Thakan Thi
Bol Di Us Ne
Meri Khatir Mujhy Apni Mohabbat
Keh Nahi Paya
Magar
Aaj Apne Aansuu Se
Mohabbat Taul Di Us Ne !!!
