Introductory Part :

 Yes..in this movie we may find colonial and post colonial aspects .it is about the political power, superiority. It is also presents idea of American believes Pakistani.

Muslim seen as a Negro seen by Whiteman .A Muslim fellow who is suffer with or without fault. There’s a double meaning to the title of “The Reluctant Fundamentalist,” filmmaker Mira Nair’s great, fascinating and composite drama based on the 2007 novel by Mohsin Hamid about the roots of extremism. On a superficial level, “fundamentalist” refers to religious identity, one unfortunately most often associated with Islamic terrorism these days. And the story  about an ambitious, Pakistani born Wall Street financial analyst who becomes disillusioned with the United States after 9/11 .

Mira Nair for The Reluctant Fundamentalist won the Peace Award at the 2013 German Film Awards and she won the award  1st Century Award at International Film Festival of India 2013.

Cololnial and postcolonial aspects in movie

 “The Reluctant Fundamentalist” will likely make some people mad, because of the way it holds the U.S. responsible for the repercussions of its actions in the world. Like Changez himself, the film has a complicated relationship with the superpower. There’s love there, to be sure. But because there’s love, there’s also the belief — expressed with all the pain and fervent hope you might imagine — that America, and Americans, can do better. As post colonialism is the study of a culture after a physical and political withdrawal of an oppressive power. In the case of Changez Khan .

“ what freedom of expression ? without the freedom to offend it ceases to exist”

Here it is happens with Changz Khan in American colony where he faces problems, Americans  looking as Muslim as well as he is one of the part of terrorist, yes geographically he belongs to same land but it means that the man have as like other . he suffer a lot in the case of   erica with her he wants to makes a lifelong relationship but he can’t . the reluctant fundamentalist is an assimilated Muslim forced into anti-American radicalism by America itself.

Changez delivers a tribute at Sameer's funeral, as Lincoln recuperates in a hospital, recalling Changez's words as he listens to the recording of the interview "

Looks can be deceiving. I am a lover of America...

although I was raised to feel very Pakistani."

It is all about search for identity , power-superiority , relationship crisis.

Analysis on Movie “Midnight's Children

If literature is in part the business of finding new angles at which to enter reality , then once again our distance, our long geographical perspectives, may provide us with such angles. Midnight's Children enters its subject from the point of view of secular man. Here in Midnight's Children it was not raised narrowly Muslim environment. Saleem sinai makes use, eclectically, of whatever elements from whatever sources he chooses.

Beginning of the movie narrator speaks this words ‘I was born in the city Bombay once upon a time’

It is about the culture .To speak a language is to appropriate it’s world and culture. Here in this movie presented four generation .it is the story of two boys were belongs diffternt caste The compound story centers on two boys born in Bombay at midnight on Aug. 15, 1947, which is the moment Indian abrogated British rule. One child (Saleem) is born into riches; the other’s family is complicated, but he (Shiva)would supposedly be raised by poor wandering musicians. Except the babies are swapped at birth. Saleem, raised in the well to do family, narrates the story.  

 Saleem and his counter part turned rival, Shiva. Along with multiple narrative threads that involve the actual dramas of war, poverty, birth and death, the story dips into magical realism.(Parvati) the young girl have to do some magic that is call Magic Realism .

In the end, Rushdie assures us that the riot of color and incident and allusion he's narrated was actually, at heart, always just about love, which will come as a relief to viewers confounded by what's come before.

Along with multiple narrative threads that involve the concrete dramas of war, poverty, birth and death, the story dips into magical realism. All children born between midnight and 1 a.m. on that historic date harbor special power .in movie reality of india presented at the time of Emergency, it is all about political crisis .

Midnight's Children attempts.... It s a point about pessimism. It has been criticized as allegedly despairing tone. The point of view of the narrator is not entirely that of the author. Story of saleem does indeed lead him to despair. But the Story is told in a manner designed to echo, as a closely. That s why the narrative constantly throws up stories. The form multitudinous, hinting at the infinite possibilities of the country - it s the optimistic counterweight to saleem 's personal tragedy.
