MY NAME IS KHAN features a great Shahrukh Khan in the lead, who gives us a touching and very human portrait, without the special circumstances of his character distracting from the actual subject matter of the film.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 8, 2022

The 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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 26, 2015

Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan is a sweeping epic in the melodramatic Bollywood manner yet emerges as a potent, engaging and timely entertainment.

| May 26, 2015

The real bravery award should go to director-producer Karan Johar, who dispenses with the designer preciousness of his previous films to come as close as this to something real, something important.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 26, 2015

Sure, this movie's a risk. Shouldn't each be anyway?

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 26, 2015

Well-meant but flawed.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 26, 2015

Without any gimmickry, Khan captures the nervous ticks and emotional barriers that an afflicted individual must battle against daily. It's a showy performance but in the right kind of way.

Kajol is lovely as Mandira and Shahrukh Khan is affecting as the Asperger's-affected hero.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 26, 2015

Khan's disorder, clearly used to make our hero a pure-hearted naif, comes dangerously close to being exploitative.

| May 26, 2015

Riotously overstuffed and enormously enjoyable.

| May 26, 2015

It's a rare treat.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 26, 2015

It's all heart and spirit that you can't help but overlook the flaws and admire it.

| May 26, 2015

A gentle, affecting and heart-warming film that makes you smile through your tears.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 26, 2015

My Name is Khan is on firm footing as long as director Karan Johar stays with emotional drama.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 26, 2015

If this all sounds simplistic, so it is.

| May 26, 2015

It's a peaceful if slow and disjointed movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 26, 2015

Released within a maelstrom of controversy in India that echoes the themes of the film, Karan Johar's My Name is Khan is an unexpected achievement.

| May 26, 2015

The film is fascinating and it really grips. It has to grip, because My Name Is Khan is very, very long.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 26, 2015

An accessible and enjoyable watch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 26, 2015

There'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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 26, 2015
