Los Angeles Times - 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.

The New York Times - Unnamed
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 - Unnamed
Riotously overstuffed and enormously enjoyable drama.
50
New York Post - Unnamed
A very average, ordinary film that goes haywire.

The Hollywood Reporter - 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.
