Rizvan Khan es un honorable musulmán indio cuya vida está marcada por el síndrome de Asperger, y que se enamora perdidamente de la bella Mandira, una madre soltera hindú que vive su versión del sueño global del éxito. Pero cuando un incalificable acto de cobardía destroza a su familia, Khan emprende desinteresadamente una impactante odisea a través de unos Estados Unidos contemporáneos, que son tan complejos como el mundo del corazón humano. Con toda su ingenuidad se transforma en la encarnación del acto de rebeldía más inverosímil: la paz y la compasión. Proporciona una aleccionadora realidad que afecta a la vida de cada persona con la que se cruza. En el nombre de la mujer que ama, un peculiar desconocido se presenta a sí mismo diciendo simplemente: "Mi nombre es Khan y no soy un terrorista". (20th Century Fox España)

A film that stays in my head for hours after watching it. I remember the beautiful words and the amazing performance by Khan. I too see some connections to Forrest Gump here. The length definitely didn't bother me because from the beginning on there was always something to watch. I was emotionally affected by many situations throughout the film. The ending, on the other hand, was a little disappointing. 5 stars.

I have to admit that I watched the movie in two parts because I had to turn it off when things started to heat up after 9/11 and the mob hatred started brewing – I truly loathe that stuff from the depths of my soul. But then I resolved to finish watching it, and I admit it did affect me a bit emotionally. I'd seen the longer version, so it was a little too long for my taste, and lots of parts didn't really entertain me. However, Shah Rukh Khan deserves kudos, he played a man with Asperger’s Syndrome very convincingly.

My Name is Khan is an absolutely enchanting experience. The magic of all the previous films with Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan alongside him pales with envy in every way. My Name is Khan is disarming because it can move and make you laugh at the same time. I took more away from Rizvan and Mandira's first meeting than I did from all those "officially" recognized Casablancas and other untouchables. There is no greater privilege than not being able to tear your eyes away and enjoy every minute spent with a film. I would go to the ends of the earth for Kajol’s smile... And all of this is only the first third, followed by a post-9/11 trip to see the President of the United States to be handed a mission: "My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist."
