I AM is a purely independent film and I am proud of that” said Onir the Producer Director of the film

“I AM is also an approach and an attitude to stop the business of always complaining about 'people aren't buying our film'. If you have a good story to tell, you can make a film. Period!

Top reviewers of the country praise AAFT alumni - Rajat Arora

Bollywoodhungama.com aka Indiafm by Taran Adarsh

Rajat Aroraa's screenplay is powerful and engaging. The writer marries heavy-duty drama and subtle and delicate emotions beautifully. I would like to make a special note of the dialogue, also penned by Rajat Aroraa, which are simply fantastic. In fact, the dialogue writing is such it elevates even an ordinary sequence to great levels. One rarely comes across such potent dialogue in today's times.

Komal Nahta’s Review

Rajat Arora has penned an interesting story and padded it up with a highly engrossing screenplay that doesn’t let the viewer lose grip for even a moment. Arora’s dialogues, of course, are absolutely fantastic, many of them clapworthy.

Times of India Movie Review by Nikhat Kazmi

….and here-in lies the dramatic core of Rajat Arora's dynamic script which catapults the two lead characters as a study in contrast.
Rajat Arora reinvents drama in contemporaray cinema….a complete entertainer which boasts of almost everything: a compelling story, crisp and absolutely state-of-the-art dialogues (Rajat Arora)…

Glamsham.com by Pankaj Sabnani

The pre-eminent part about ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI is undoubtedly its dialogues (Rajat Arora) which reminds one about the Salim-Javed jodi.
Unlike most films based on the underworld, ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI isn't all grim and gory. Written deftly by Rajat Arora, it's more about the characters than the hullabaloo about crime, which is appealing.

NDTV review

...The real hero of this film is the writing. Rajat Arora's dialogues flow from the storytelling in a smooth flow of poetry and street wisdom.

DNA

Rajat Arora has penned a brilliant script which holds the audience’s attention from the word ‘go’. Unlike many underworld films seen in recent times, this one is not too violent or morose as it also tackles the love lives of the two dons....Rajat Arora’s clapworthy and weighty dialogues add to the effect of the drama.

Indiatimes.com by Gaurav Malani

Once Upon A Time there were writers like Salim-Javed in Bollywood.
Once again, we have found such a writer in Rajat Aroraa. Watch the film and you will understand. By the way, Rajat, where were you hiding all this while?

My Name is Khan Review
 
AAFT - Media School India

My Name is Khan has opened to packed houses all over.

The reviews have been exceptional with the likes of Times of india giving it 5 stars and Bollywood Hungama 4.5 out of 5.
The story of an Indian man who moves to America and is belatedly diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome is an engaging, well-acted film.

Karan Johar's "My Name Is Khan" is a sweeping epic in the melodramatic Bollywood manner yet emerges as a potent, engaging and timely entertainment. Shahrukh Khan stars as Rizwan Khan, whose Asperger's syndrome goes undiagnosed until the death of his loving mother sends him off to San Francisco to live with his younger brother, whose psychologist wife makes the diagnosis.

Having been raised with affection and sensitivity, Khan, who is well-educated and exceptionally intelligent, is already high-functioning. Ultra-sensitive to noise, he may be petrified by the clanging of a cable car bell until he understands what it is, and his ability to express emotion may be muted, but it turns out that he's a surprisingly successful salesman for the Indian herbal beauty products company for which his brother is an executive. He feels compelled to tell the truth no matter what, and his candor in regard to what his line of cosmetics can and cannot do amusingly beguiles the beautiful Mandira (Kajol), who owns and operates a busy beauty salon. Pretty soon, the shyly handsome Khan has won the heart of Mandira, a single mother with a small son -- and a bad marriage in her past.
When a client who lives in a small town outside San Francisco offers to put up the money to open a salon in that community Mandira accepts, and soon the new family is living the suburban American dream -- until Sept. 11. Mandira is a Hindu, Khan is a Muslim, and at this point the film evolves from the story of a man with Asperger's learning to live a successful, happy life to that of a man who embarks, in the wake of tragedy and violence, on an odyssey to declare to President Obama, "I am a Muslim and I am not a terrorist."

"My Name Is Khan" is a potent, energetic heart-tugger and Khan and Kajol, major Bollywood stars, are highly appealing and equal to the demand of their emotion-charged roles.
The Wall Street Journal reported about the film's premier in 'Mumbai Friday amid tight security and on a much-reduced number of screens after right-wing protesters earlier this week damaged cinemas slated to show the new movie by
Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan.'
Washington Post and the Los Angeles too carried agency reports from Mumbai about 'Bollywood film sparks militant Hindu rage in India.
