My views
The direction is simply awesome and undoubtedly the best by Karan so far. The sizzling chemistry between SRK and Kajol hasn’t faded away even a bit. All the actors do justice to their roles. Music is great and already top at the charts!

Conclusion – Get your tickets booked in advance to avoid the rush and the houseful board too! And ya, switch off your mobile while watching MNIK as missing even a single scene could leave you confused!

P.S. Don’t miss this one! It’s a movie of a lifetime!
