The international box office hit My Name Is Khan, Karan Johar’s drama about an autistic Muslim living in San Francisco, and the impact on his family following 9/11. It stars Shahrukh Khan in the lead, as Rizwan Khan, and Kajol as his Hindu wife, Mandira.

Noted filmmaker Kumar Shahani feels that global financing of movies is a stumbling block for offbeat Indians filmmakers "who try to find their own voice and idioms in their films, removed from the celluloid mainstream".
The 70-year-old director, one of the founders of Indian New Wave (often referred to as parallel cinema), who is working on two new projects, is looking for international finance for his movies.
"Global finance standardises everything -- from the way directors should take a shot to the kind of movies they should make. The corporate decisions taken to finance movies are based on international financial trends. Sometimes the judgements the financiers make are delayed and affect filmmakers like me whose originality lies in being in touch with the pulse of life," Shahani told Ians in an interview.
Movies cannot be standardised, he said. "Eighty percent of our mainstream movies flop because of the corporatisation of the movie industry.
