Pathaan Movie Review Rating: Star Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia, Ashutosh Rana. Director: Siddharth Anand.

A but the script restricts him to be just a failed prototype for the same. War had a similar plus point and the tradition of the brothers delivering bangers continues to thrive. Though it seemed to be the only way of carrying forward the Spy Universe it’s the easiest way to do that. She has looked as s*xy as a living soul in the history of mankind has ever could, but that’s not should’ve been the takeaway. He holds the wicked bewitchery for a long time but he could’ve done more than what he has. Siddharth Anand has always been the audience’s director and he has done that job pretty well here as well. If War is the benchmark, this touches that safely but that film was just a 2.5/5 for me. Shah Rukh Khan brings back ‘mass’ to ‘massala entertainment’ and he’s definitely one of the most charismatic 57-year-olds you’d witness on screen today. Jim is creating a ‘Raktbeej’, a virus that could blow up an entire city and we all know in what country that would be – Bharat Maa (as referred by Jim). Yes, for they’re enough to keep you intrigued for a while but no they’re not as smart as you’d expect them to be. But the director forgets to focus on why Rubai is what she is. Pathaan is on a mission to stop him, Rubai is burning up the screen with her hotness & by using a machine gun respectively.

'Pathaan' movie review: SRK is back? Not really (Deccan Herald)

[Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/deccanherald/) [Dailymotion ](https://www.dailymotion.com/DeccanHerald) [Twitter ](https://twitter.com/DeccanHerald) As for Shah Rukh, the 'party' had to be bigger and better. The final scene is a tad heart-warming as we see Shah Rukh and Salman, two of the biggest stars of Indian cinema, in a friendly chat. In a 'masala' film, where the idea is to play to the gallery, it's important to have a razor-sharp focus on your hero. Despite fight scenes choreographed in the air, on a clifftop, and on a moving train, the showboating goes on in vain thanks to a lack of imagination and the less-than-impressive special effects. One hopes the actors are more self-aware and the scene was a nice little example of self-deprecating humour. The moment needed go-for-broke filmmaking to make the scene memorable. In comes Pathaan, India's own son (as the character proudly claims). The biggest problem with Pathaan is that it fails to celebrate its star. He is called to action by Pakistan, who are upset about the abrogation of Kashmir's special status.

Pathaan Movie Review: Film critics and moviegoers have received the recent Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone-starrer well. Check out the following Twitter ...

Pathaan is the fourth collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone after Om Shanti Om (2007), Chennai Express (2013), and Happy New Year (2014). Yet some action set pieces falter with CGI (Skates on ice and the jet pack). This comeback of Shah Rukh Khan has proven that there isn’t anyone better than him. Assistant director Palak Mehra said that 2023 has started on a good note and Shah Rukh Khan has proven there is no one better than him. YouTuber Anmol Jamwal, who runs the film review channel Tried and Refused Productions, wrote: “Pathaan is the balance of FAN SERVICE and MASS ACTION that Hindi Cinema was craving for. He is very likeable! Film trade expert Joginder Tuteja backed John Abraham for his performance and said that the actor, last seen in Ek Villain Returns, has delivered one of his best performances till date. Film critic and trade analyst Sumit Kadel said that Shah Rukh Khan brings swag, charm and humour to the character of a spy and shines in emotional as well as action scenes. This is one of his BEST performances till date. He brings tremendous swag , charm & humor in his character of a spy which set him apart from rest.

'Pathaan': Review (Screen International)

Bollywood emerges surpreme from a troubled time with Shah Rukh Khan kicking up dust as a Bond-like action hero. Pathaan. Source: Yashraj Films. 'Pathaan'.

His heart is Indian, but he belongs to the world — a welcome return to the simplistic but humanistic nationalism of Hindi cinema. The film is also very much in line with the unbridled masculine narratives currently dominating Indian mainstream cinema: SRK may be best known for his romantic on-screen persona but he falls in line here, showing off his bare chest and rippling muscles and, in the process, scorching the screen as a full-blown action hero. Plus, there have already been multiple controversies to keep it in the public eye, including the colour of a bikini worn by SRK’s co-star Deepika Padukone. A lot is at stake when it comes to Pathaan, produced — like the previous titles in the series — by leading production house Yashraj Films. The Hindi film industry has struggled over the last few years, with big budget films failing to make a mark at the box office and political baiting by conservative fringe groups. And that will come as a relief to an embattled Bollywood.

How Streisand Effect made Pathaan box office collection break all ... (DailyO)

When you are constantly asked to boycott a movie, there are chances that you yourself might be intrigued to give it a watch. The same can be said for Shah ...

At least, that’s what can be said for now, with Pathaan having sold a million tickets already and becoming the first Hindi film to open with 6 am shows. The same can be said for mainstream films with some of the recent cases being the controversy-arousing Bollywood flicks like Udta Punjab and Padmaavat. Much to the delight of SRK fans, Pathaan also seems to have profited from the Streisand Effect. With the image in public domain to document the coastal erosion faced by California in 2003, Streisand attempted to sue the photographer Kenneth Adelman for violation of privacy. This is the reason why you can still find files of 120 Days of Sodom, and Cannibal Holocaust ( Ever since politicians began complaining about the allegedly “offensive” video and even the police getting involved, the SnapChat video gathered over 2,00,000 views. Even today, memes and [merchandise like T-shirts of Xi Jinping are common in Hong Kong and Japan](https://www.dailyo.in/news/in-japan-winnie-the-pooh-has-joined-chinas-protests-against-zero-covid-38145). The singer and actress infamously became the namesake for this phenomenon after the California Coastal Records Project took a photograph of her cliff-top mansion in Malibu, California. All these factors have only helped in unintentionally adding to the film’s promotion. So, what is the Streisand Effect? The same can be said for Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan ( Another major concern was the media attacks on Shah Rukh’s own public images, especially in the wake of his son Aryan Khan’s infamous run-ins with the Narcotics Control Bureau.

Meanwhile, Rubina got to know that the missile was just a divergence and that the smallpox sample was on a flight that was going to land in Delhi. They were talking about who would take their place, as they realized that age had caught up with them and there were contenders from the younger generations. One of the prisoners on the train was given a machete, and he and others were just about to kill him when there was a thud on the roof of the train. They had been deceived by Jim, and they were told that the smallpox sample was present in the third layer itself and not at the center of the orb. She took revenge for keeping her in the dark and making her do something that had the potential to cause such widespread destruction. Jim was in an unknown location in Afghanistan, and he had loaded the smallpox sample on a missile that was all set to target an Indian city. The vault was on the 92nd floor of a building and was secured by a complicated locking system. Pathaan planned to go to Spain to meet her, as it was speculated by his team that she didn’t know anything about the payments being made and had nothing to do with the Outfit X group. The scientists weren’t able to fathom what was happening and why wasn’t there any smallpox sample present inside it. Pathaan met Jim for the first time in Dubai when he got intel about an attack on the President of India. This film is not about assessing the technicalities or judging the flaws; it is about celebrating a man who has given so much to his fans and to people all around the globe for the last 30 years. The political move gained a lot of positive and negative reactions from the entire world.

A flashback sequence set in a village in Afghanistan shows its residents treating him as a member of the Pathaan clan, after he saves the lives of their children. The movie’s title track even extols the virtues of being a Pathaan. A number of recent movies have tried to capitalise on this by celebrating the heroic exploits of our armed forces and soldiers.
