Re: [AI] FW: Nasser Khan the hero of the film 'Shadow'
Sure we all can imagine him sitting next to his younger brother and following his verbal directions to let the steering wheel and pedel do the job. That is all the riding and driving we can manage?! But why should you be a spider man in order to be a super man? Sorry folks, I mention this with all due respect to Mr Khan.

Finally in the year 1995 he formed his first self owned Leather tanning business, and became a renowned tannery owner in Kanpur.

Re: [AI] FW: Nasser Khan the hero of the film 'Shadow'
Sorry buddy: if this movie has no story in it (which I am told it doesn't have) then --as one of the reviewer has put it-- the movie accomplishes nothing but letting a V I person satisfy his wish of acting in a film as an able-bodied guy. With action, if he had looked for a good script surely it could have been a real hit.

A review of his film is as follows: SHADOW - A unique effort I watched this movie yesterday. This movie was in the news everywhere even before its release since it was the first time a blind person was doing the role of a non-disabled person in the film. It was said that despite his blindness, producer and actor Naseer Khan has done amazing stunts which are considered very difficult even for the sighted. All this had aroused my curiosity and I was searching for an opportunity for watching this film. In my assessment it is a very average film; most critics have rated it as a grade B film. The film has no great story; it has all the masala Bollywood is famous for. Songs, dance, beautiful girls, glamour and drama. Naseer Khan has tried to put everything in the film which will interest the average film goer in small towns. Naseer Khan's efforts are however remarkable. The fact that he decided to make this film and completed it is amazing. He must have faced so many obstacles and I wonder how many people would have supported his ideas. In my view, Naseer Khan is not a good actor and his acting in the film is very newcomer like. He also does not have great looks but may this does not matter so much as Hemesh Reshamia has been able to achieve so much with baldness and cap. One thing that I wanted to watch out was how a blind person would have managed eye contact and expression despite his blindness. It turned out as I had expected. Naseer Khan had to choose the only option available. He wears flashy goggles in every scene. His eyes cannot be seen through the coloured glasses and this helps in looking non-visually impaired. The story is about a person who after facing great tragedies in his family decides to take revenge in a unique way. He calls it his mission but it does not seem convincing enough as it unfolds at the end of the film. Naseer Khan has tried to create comedy in a few scenes and surprisingly there is not much romance in this film. He would have been very uncomfortable in romantic scenes with his meagre acting skills I suppose. Anyways, I am full of praise for the grit and determination shown by Naseer Khan and lot can be expected from him in the future. This film certainly would have helped in creating a better image of the visually impaired persons in the society. posted at: http://prashant.myehome.in/blog/ on 29 August 2009 -- From: Suhas Karnik suhasvkar...@hotmail.com Sent: Friday, September 11, 2009 10:26 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in; nab_frie...@yahoogroups.co.in Subject: [AI] FW: Nasser Khan the hero of the film 'Shadow' Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 22:25:14 +0530 From: nab...@yahoo.in Subject: Fw: Nasser Khan the hero of the film 'Shadow' To: suhasvkar...@hotmail.com - Forwarded Message From: NAB (I) Employment nab...@yahoo.in To: suhasvkar...@hotmail.com Sent: Friday, 11 September, 2009 3:39:22 PM Subject: Nasser Khan the hero of the film 'Shadow' Dear Friends, The National Association for the Blind, (India) had organized a Dance Competition for the Visually Challenged Persons in Mumbai today at its Worli Seaface Complex.
