	Author	Review
United States	Rachel Saltz The New York Times	“'Khan is one of a handful of Hindi films about Indians living in a paranoid, post-9/11 America, and there’s something fascinating about looking at this country through a Bollywood lens, even when the story is a kind of fairy tale"	POS
United Kingdom	Lee Marshall Screendaily	"The story may not be subtle – in fact, it’s just the opposite – but it provides emotional payback even in the midst of absurdity (...) Technically and emotionally, this doesn’t miss a beat"	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"This riotously overstuffed and enormously enjoyable drama races forward with incredible drive"	POS
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"It does tackle a subject American movies have mostly avoided (...) It also allows Shah Rukh Khan to display his talent to an even wider audience. It's well worth the 162-minute journey."	POS
United Kingdom	Phelim O'Neill The Guardian	"[A] well-intentioned, slickly constructed and just plain likable film (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
