Pathaan

SRK was once a favourite of mine. I only watched this movie because of him. I was disgusted with the filmmakers and script writers after viewing it. The movie occasionally deviates from logic, as evidenced by one scene where the heroes were seen running at the speed of a train! It is difficult to get crowds to the theatre with these scripts and directions!

Please halt the visual effects. It appears really manufactured. Why would you need VFX with seasoned actors like SRK and Salman Khan?

Bollywod needs to give good narratives and direction some serious thought. Sad to watch Bollywood struggling to survive when Tollywood is suddenly earning recognition on a global scale.

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.

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.

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.

As a part of the audience, I feel that I just have to write this review, as unfortunate as it may be. I watched Pathaan with my family and there were multiple scenes that were just inappropriate and unnecessary. Other than that, the plot was super unclear and I didn't understand why a virus was brought into it. I thought we would be seeing something new, as there are many films from the past that have this same trope of a deadly virus. The movie was 2 hrs and 30 minutes approximately, quite a long film but I don't understand why everything in the film, every sequence, felt rushed and like it didn't make much sense. I also found the CGI and VFX extremely fake and artificial, which was disappointing. I know that a team and actors worked really hard to make this film as they do others, but I feel that Pathaan just took advantage of the fact that there were stars like SRK, Deepika, John Abraham, and Salman Khan in it. Would you genuinely enjoy the film had it been some other actors? Anyway, I do feel like I had my hopes up too high for this film. I just hope that Bollywood can make good films again soon.
