Pathaan

Was waiting for this day for over 2 years. I hoped this would finally be the movie that would blow my mind after such a long streak of hindi movie dissapointments. Excited saw it first day first show and it just added to the streak. If there was no SRK this would be a flop, no question. Relying on his hype to carry this only.

The good: SRK is Back The Train Sequence!

John a great bad guy Deepika was extremely attractive Songs are decent Pathaan character background Hand to hand action choreography

The bad: Story - predictable, plagiarised (...even lion king!) and meanders, very dissapointing.

Poor VFX - 50- 75% action relies on vfx, its almost cartoony Silly Action sequences - the action sequences are just silly rather than thrilling...when its hand to hand, fantastic, but everything else is literally just dumb.

All other characters are forgettable...literal cardboard cutouts.

1 of 4 jokes land - robles, cringe.

Background score weaker to war - being massive fan of war, i knew each beat and when would hit, was perfect background score, this was on and off.

Overall: You could watch if diehard SRK fan, but please do not expect a good story, (If you do go, Train sequence is unmissable) but action is not something you havent seen before, cheaper version of similar stunts taken from iconic action movies.

The starting of the movie is a bit okay when Shah Rukh Khan enters, it feels a bit good at that time💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥. Then later storing gets boring. Same boring old story. Those who have even a little knowledge about the movie can easily tell that there is no story in the movie. Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, everyone's acting is good. In this the actor cannot be blamed who has written the story. He has written a completely nonsense story. Those poor people cannot do anything in that.😂😂😂. I had booked a VIP seat for this movie to watch comfortably. It would be such a great movie. But I felt ok ok, nothing special. Friend, if I tell the truth, from my heart.

I went to watch the movie after watching movie like drishm2 ,ved .my expectations was i will see a masterclass . Pathaan movie is just a copied version of fast and furious, tiger Zinda Hain,war.plot of film is very common,not new story.. direction is good, some scenes are excellent shooted with abroad shooting.special effect and VFX are ok type.. shahrukh tries to give a good performance but he as action hero doesn't appeal.cameo of srk and Salman Khan was high point of movie.dimple kapadia was good,her performance was strong and powerful.deepika was more glamorous and Less agent,,she could have been used better.john abrahim was awesome,his swag was great his looks hunky, style,panesh,he was more better than srk...in all movie was not bad ,not good..I wouldn't watch movie for second time.my issue is after I left theatre thier was no scene tht I would remember for long time..it's a average movie not epic.. spend upto 300 rs only for ticket not more . Pathan hype is more content is less.

The story, the plot had the potential to serve a good and entertaining film...What ruined it completely was the physics and VFX . The start of the film was amazing it gave you the John Wick vibes ( the fist fight and the shot gun scene) and the train sequence where SRK fights 1 v 8 or something + the research lab scene where they all sacrifice themself for greater good. For anyone who has watched fast and furious films can agree that this film copied almost all the action/stunt sequences. I don't wanna ruin for someone who hasn't watched the film but it gave me cringe when John Abraham with his brute force pulled down the Strong rope that connected the 2 helicopter and attached to the truck. Anyways I expect better from action movies and this film is a success only because of SRK else nothing new in the film.

First things first, suspend your sense of disbelief before you sit to watch this film. Some super creative liberties have been taken to salvage SRK's flagging career. His fan armies may be making a lot of noise around the movie but as a neutral viewer, I found this movie to be just run of the mill heroism cut from the same cloth as Salman Khan's chest thumping macho cinema as seen in the likes of Ek Tha Tiger or Tiger Zinda Hai. Logic is out. It's just visual appeal, bravado laden dialogues and other such massy elements. The hype and hoopla surrounding the movie betrayed the real deal. The movie is all style and totally lacking substance. Beyond a point, such cinema begins to cause heartache. All said and done, the movie does have its high points such as Salman Khan's Tiger character integrations, Ashutosh Rana's acting and John Abraham's svelte looks. Besides that the VFX is low brow, masculinity overboard and a supremely weak storyline and weak writing. It can be watched once on OTT. Not worth the ticket price.
