Los Angeles Times
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. - 70
The New York Times
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. - 70
Variety
Riotously overstuffed and enormously enjoyable drama. - 50
New York Post
A very average, ordinary film that goes haywire. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
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. - 40
L.A. Weekly
For a movie that preaches cultural understanding, it sometimes seems a little too comfortable perpetuating ethnic stereotypes. - 38
Orlando Sentinel
The polished production sometimes touches and amuses despite its naïve “love conquers all” script.
