Pathaan

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.

I have watched Srk since Badshah days and I have to say, his luck has run out in terms of picking the right project.

Tigmanshu Dhulia once said in an interview that SRK is oscar material if someone can extract the craft from him. Sadly Siddharth Anand is not the guy. All new-age upcoming directors should watch this movie only to learn how to not make one.

I can't think of any positives other than the fact that the project offered employment to the technicians of various departments.

PS: You'll enjoy this movie if you have liked the previous Indian Masala 'RAW AGENT' Twerking on a dance number in the middle of a covert op garbage but even then Pathaan is not better than Siddharth Anand's previous attempts at filmmaking.

If like me, you enjoyed the Bourne series, Skyfall, Ghost Protocol, Zero Dark Thirty, Sicario or even some decent Indian projects like Baby, Naam Shabana and Airlift then stay away from this. It's Brain cancer.

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.

I went in to see this because of positive RT scores and comments which said this movie reeked of action. The reviewers just left out the part where they were supposed to say the action was unbelievable. It is worth a watch if you have 2.5 hours to kill.

The fight choreography between SRK and 'Jim' (I'm too tired to look up the actor's name) were exceptional. Those featuring Padukone were kind of hit and miss. Sometime they reached Marvel's Black Widow heights, other times they were almost laughable.

Jim was a good villain. His backstory was touching and you could empathize with him and the reasons that he was doing what he was doing. I couldn't root for him because you already know how the story is going to end but you just don't know how they will get there.

Finally, the soundtrack (or background music). It was repetitive when there was a fight between the protagonist and antagonist. So much so that I found it irritating after a while.

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.
