Besides
storming
the
box
office,
My
Name
is
Khan
is
set
to
create
history
by
becoming
the
first
ever
Bollywood
film
to
be
released
in
cinemas
with
audio
description
(AD).
Yes,
the
blind
can
watch
Shahrukh
Khan's
film
in
the
theatres
now.
After
the
research
among
blind
or
partially
sighted
people
of
Asian
origin,
the
Royal
National
Institute
of
Blind
People
(RNIB)
found
out
that
over
55
per
cent
wants
wants
to
watch
Bollywood
films
if
AD
is
provided.
So,
for
the
first
time
ever,
20th
Century
Fox
is
offering
a
Hindi
AD
track
on
My
Name
is
Khan.
AD
is
as
important
to
blind
and
partially
sighted
people
as
subtitles
are
to
those
hearing
impaired.
It
is
an
additional
narration
that
fits
between
passages
of
dialogue
to
describe
action
sequences,
body
language,
costume
and
scenery,
allowing
the
viewer
to
understand
exactly
what
is
happening
on
screen.
My
Name
is
Khan
features
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Kajol
in
the
lead
roles
and
is
directed
by
Karan
Johar.
It
is
about
a
man
who
goes
all
the
way
to
the
US
in
spite
of
all
odds
to
win
back
his
love.
