Pathaan

Movie was connected throughout but story line is not that great .

It's like common story line we watch we watch in Hollywood movies .

Didn't feel like that it's a Bollywood movie .

John acting is ok , SRK is amazing as always and music is good .

Deepika is in this movie may be because SRK launched her in her first movie .

All over movie is not that great , one time watch and just wow moment is that SRK is back in theaters and his actions scene are good and his body transformation is mind-blowing.

VFX used in movie is ok .

Overall , not a family movie , it's fan based movie and person who like action and suspension.

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.

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 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.

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.
