Pathaan movie review: SRK's comeback is high on action, low on logic (Hindustan Times)

Pathaan movie review: Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone's actioner is worthy every penny even as it defies gravity and logic. | Bollywood.

The wit he brings on screen is straight out of his #AskSRK sessions and even in the most intense and deadly scenes, Khan makes you smile with his comic punchlines said with a straight face. Go watch it for Shah Rukh Khan and you would only come back with a smile, and maybe grooving a bit. Pathaan is your true-blue commercial, masala entertainer that's not trying to send across any message or be a social commentary on the current state of affairs in the country. It gets a bit too unrealistic at times, but that's what you get when filmmakers try to mount a film on the scale of a Hollywood actioner. With the kind of finesse she brings in action sequences, her own, fleshed-out action flick won't be too much to ask for. She gets her own share to perform and shine despite the men taking a major share of screen time. And the best part is that it wastes no time in introducing the man to us in his full glory. It is at the pre-interval block, that pieces of the puzzle start to fall in place. He's charming, gritty and lets his eyes do most of the talking. He's fighting on top of a Hummer, then somewhere mid-air on a rope tied between two helicopters and then jumps on to a truck. The film is a perfect addition to this ambitious spy universe that previously saw Salman Khan’s Tiger and Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir. 'Zinda Hai', as Pathaan says in the trailer, surrounded by armed blood-thirsty men, the scene appears within 10 mins of the film and that's a bonus.

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 Twitter review: The Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone-starrer Pathaan has opened to positive reviews from critics, fans, and moviegoers alike. Will be the first blockbuster of 2023.”

In the end Pathaan is a typial Bollywood action-thriller that wears its patriotism on its sleeve. In a post Covid cinematic landscape where superstars and production houses are forced to re-jig the staid old formula to attract fans back into the theatres does Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand (War) make the cut?

'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.

Pathaan review: Shah Rukh Khan returns guns blazing in fun action ... (The National)

Bollywood star makes a comeback as an action hero in his first film in more than four years.

Pathaan comes at a time when Bollywood is struggling to attract audiences back to the cinema. A cameo appearance by a major Bollywood star is another highlight of the film. But her shifting loyalties, and real-world distrust between India and Pakistan, add a new dimension to the coming doom Pathaan and his team are trying to stop. But with Khan's irresistible charm on full display, one cannot help but overlook Pathaan's many flaws and just immerse yourself in the action. Veteran actress Dimple Kapadia, who plays Pathaan's mentor, gives a memorable performance while Abraham, while charmingly menacing, is a bit overshadowed by his co-stars. Because Khan, who first earned fame as a romantic hero in the 1990s, is so good at being an action star.

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

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.

She was among the most confident ones in that era, putting her sensuality to the best use. Shah Rukh plays a former RAW agent who is part of a special unit (funnily titled JOCR), and Dimple is the senior officer he reports to.

Combined with rousing action set-pieces and dialoguebaazi, this brings back the thrill of watching a typical Hindi entertainer on the big screen. He gets to glorify the role of a soldier and valour. The reinvention of his screen persona, with a touch of patriotism, is in sync with the prevalent mood of the nation. 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.

Messaging aside, what Pathaan ultimately leaves us with (quite literally) is what is perhaps one of the most magnificently cheeky end credits scenes seen on film. That said, a hero is only as good as the villain he must triumph over, and fair play to SRK for choosing to go up against an actor with such an imposing presence. It’s why I wish we got more of a sense of who he is outside of spearheading a constant string of setpieces and that we got to spend more time with Pathaan the person - like the touching Afghanistan flashback sequence where we learn how he got his name. Like all great movie star spectacles - the persona of the superstar bleeds into the film, in this case referring to SRK’s inclusive messaging and secular beliefs. As her face begins to crack and the virus takes hold, we see her share a final exchange with Pathaan and Colonel Luthra (Ashutosh Rana). All packed within the Hollywood action template of each new plot point requiring us to travel to a new exotic country in order to steal a doohickey, break into an impenetrable vault, and/or stop a bad guy. With this film, Siddharth Anand continues to do for stars within the action genre what Zoya Akhtar does for them in dramas - hold them back, presenting a subtler, more subdued superstar to often glorious results. The comeback of the legendary R&AW agent who was considered finished and done for (the meta-ness here about SRK’s own career is delightful), a tragic terrorist villain, a Deepika double agent, a program for injured soldiers, a life-threatening virus and more. There isn’t a hint of the Don-like tough-to-stomach flamboyance in sight, for example. Writer Sridhar Raghavan (whose winning partnership with Siddharth Anand is the best thing that’s happened to the action genre within Hindi cinema in years) gives us a competent, yet busy screenplay. Above all, it remains a triumph for revisiting, rekindling and reimagining the superstar we hold so dear. At its best, the film is a stardom-led blockbuster that knows it is one.
