Leave your thoughts about My Name Is Khan.
| OutlookNamrata JoshiA gentle, affecting and heart-warming film that makes you smile through your tears. |
| The Times of IndiaNikhat KazmiThe film is brimming over with scenes that relentlessly move you to tears, not because they are sad, but because they are uplifting, inspirational and just sometimes heart-rending. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaWhile Johar's film does offer some extra food for thought within the conventional confines of an Indian commercial entertainment, it is, above all else, a love story--and a rather moving one at that. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreThe polished production sometimes touches and amuses despite its naïve “love conquers all” script. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferCaptivating, well-acted and heartfelt with inspirational, important messages about tolerance, compassion, endurance, hope, honesty and, above all, the power of love. |
| Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThis 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. |

| Empire MagazineSam ToyThere's too much story (a later, Georgia-set act falters), but this mostly rides comfortably on Khan's superb performance, and his chemistry with leading lady Kajol. |
| Time OutAnil SinananTechnically accomplished, it's always engaging due to the credible performances from its beautiful leads, the charismatic Khan and Kajol. Worthy, but flawed. |
