Review of Pathaan

Pathaan (2023)
8/10
Flawed at times but mostly entertaining with some great action sequences
26 January 2023
If you liked Tiger franchise and War movie then you are going to love Pathaan. The movie starts with a grand entry of SRK and then is handed to now very experienced hands of John to take the audience by surprise. Only a star of SRK's charisma and class could handle someone like John without actually being overshadowed by the later. John Abraham returns back to his lovable villanious form that he once donned in Dhoom. Deepika's role was well written and no her on screen presence was not just limited to some item numbers but was actually crafted for a solo lead for another YRF Spy Verse movie which I am sorry to say that Katrina's character of Zoya in Tiger franchise terribly lacks. Won't be surprising if Deepika gets her own Black Widow kinda movie and team YRF should definitely think about it.

Overall a very entertaining movie filled with grand scale action sequences and with lot of inner jokes from Bollywood on Bollywood.

Note - The fans from middle east are in for a surprise at the end, when Jhoome Jo Pathaan song is played. Wait till the very end, there is a lovely post credit scene waiting for all you fans!
