My Name is Khan

This movie was recommended to me by Netflix which usually has a 50/50 chance of getting it right with me. I caught the word "Bollywood" and almost marked "not interested," because I usually run screaming from the room from Bollywood films. It is subtitled in English, most of the dialogue is in Hindi, but there are no dance scenes and even the songs in Hindi do not have that high pitched female wailing that drives me straight up the wall.

If you hate tearjerkers don't try this one, because it is achingly sweet and joyous and also painful if you are a fair-minded person at all. I am really glad I took a chance on it because it was one of the most beautiful films I have seen in many years.
