Farhan Akhtar
MNIK is an amazing film. Full power to Karan, Shahrukh, Kajol, Ravi K Chandran (DOP), Deepa Bhatia (editor) and the rest! Outstanding! Shahrukh's best performance till date. Karan's best film. What else can you ask for? I came back from Philippines yesterday... went straight for MNIK, it couldn't have been planned better! Kajol is very good as always, reached in and plucked my heart out in some moments.... but SRK blows you away. MUST WATCH!
Preity Zinta
Jut saw My Name Is Khan and it is MINDBLOWING! Everyone who has a heart should watch it again and again and again! Am so proud of SRK! Karan Johar has shown his superiority as a director! I am so proud of him! My name is Zinta and I have loved the film! Kajol is also amazing in the film. Its SRK's role that is really tough though and he deserves a standing ovation.

It was just wonderful to see SRK play RIZVAN KHAN. Outstanding performance. Rizvan teaches me to be a better human being. Unbiased. It rocks. It’s thought provoking & immensely engaging. The simplicity with which Khan sees the world is just amazing. If only we all had aspergers syndrome... The world would be a better place to live in.
