Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

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. Read full review

Jay Weissberg

Riotously overstuffed and enormously enjoyable drama. Read full review

Rachel Saltz

Skillfully directed by Karan Johar and with an evocative score by Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy, “Khan” jerks tears with ease, while teaching lessons about Islam and tolerance. Read full review

Kirk Honeycutt

This is a movie not built for subtlety, but it does tackle a subject American movies have mostly avoided -- that of racial profiling and the plight of Muslim-Americans. Read full review

Shilpa Jamkhandikar

A very average, ordinary film that goes haywire. Read full review

Melissa Anderson

For a movie that preaches cultural understanding, it sometimes seems a little too comfortable perpetuating ethnic stereotypes. Read full review

Roger Moore

The polished production sometimes touches and amuses despite its naïve “love conquers all” script. Read full review

An absolutely amazing movie! Brilliantly directed with striking performances from the cast, especially Shah Rukh Khan. He clearly steals the show with a breathtaking performance, one of, if not his best, acting performance yet.

Great movie, very thoughtful and so very true in regards to how muslims are regarded by most in America. I gave it 10 because of the message and the delivery, very nicely produced and realistic.
If not for that the rating would have been lower because of the whole georgia hurricane rescue.Great movie, very thoughtful and so very true in regards to how muslims are regarded by most in America. I gave it 10 because of the message and the delivery, very nicely produced and realistic.
If not for that the rating would have been lower because of the whole georgia hurricane rescue.
to paraphrase an earlier post, it reminded me too much of Forrest Gump after awhile.
Despite its shortcomings it was a wonderful story with believable actors/actresses and compelling subject.
This should be required viewing for all of the so-called 'tolerant', no matter what faith they follow.… Expand

Nice one! I watched the movie and liked the story! I know who are Muslim friends, faced the same and the interrogation in the airport, almost everyone from third world country like India are facing. (that includes me!) Atleast in the movie, half stripped (as I remember), for me completely - Nice one! I watched the movie and liked the story! I know who are Muslim friends, faced the same and the interrogation in the airport, almost everyone from third world country like India are facing. (that includes me!) Atleast in the movie, half stripped (as I remember), for me completely - no clothes. There are many situations you can feel to reality, those who were in 9/11 time in USA. After 9/11, for the next few weeks, In particular, if you go to convenient stores, they will ask where are you, which religion ... By the way, I am NOT MUSLIM. I feel the pressure of the fellow Indians. Good luck! SRK, Kajol, Karan Johar, Fox and the whole team.… Expand
