My name is Kong

You have to hand it to King Khan when it comes to self indulgence. As opposed to regional cinema where its common to come across larger than life figures who rule the roost, 'Bollywood' is mainstream, with the audience being diverse, and yet this man creates epics with the focus being who else but 'King Kong' himself. Its grand in sweep, scale and melodrama, with slickly packaged aspects of social life in India every second person gets misty eyed about: elaborate weddings, kids coming of age, nostalgic parents etc. You may cringe, but hey, Khan sells!
