Washington: Dogged by controversy back home, Shah Rukh Khan starrer My Name Is Khan opened in 119 theatres across North America with an enthusiastic response from the South Asian community and a mixed reception from the press.
'At its best My Name Is Khan , set mainly in America, is an affecting fairy tale about the perils of goodness,' said The New York Times as the mainstream US press also took note of the 'a firestorm surrounded the film's release on Friday' in India. My Name Is Khan, an effective exercise in Bollywood high emotionalism, is less political than movie-ish: there are two kinds of people in the world, good and bad, a distinction more important than any other differences, like those between Hindus and Muslims,' the influential US daily said in a review published on Saturday.
