Pathaan Movie Review
Pathaan's story is all about an exiled RAW field operative who is assigned to take down "Outfit X", a private terrorist organization that is planning a nuclear attack on India. Pathaan, an exiled RAW field operative is assigned to take down "Outfit X", a private terrorist organization that is planning a nuclear attack on India. Pakistan's military realizes that the abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir by the Indian government is a signal to India's decision to take over Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. To thwart that, General Qatar meets Shaitan. In the meantime, Indian Colonel Sunil Luthra (Ashutosh Rana) and his team that includes (Dimple Kapadia) sound a red alert and go in search of Pathaan (Shah Rukh Khan). It all boils down to the unraveling of the sinister plot by Pathaan and its connection to Jim (John Abraham), leader of Outfit X. Where this leads to, what is Rakth Beej and what is the connection of all these developments to Dr. Rubina Mohisin (Deepika Padukone) an ISI agent and Tiger (Salman Khan) should be unraveled on the screen.
The story penned by Siddharth Anand is an out-and-out action entertainer. He included all the commercial elements and got the optimum out of the lead cast of Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham. He blended action elements featuring Shah Rukh Khan, John Abraham, and even Deepika Padukone. Though the story is predictable with little or no real twists, the action elements and the romantic elements made up for it. The action-packed story with patriotic flavor appeals to all. The story is inspired by superhit Hollywood blockbusters and those who have watched it will not find it interesting.
Altogether, Pathaan starring Shah Rukh Khan directed by Siddharth Anand is a perfect comeback treat for all his fans. Action movie lovers will love Shah Rukh Khan showing his versatility in romance, action, and witty dialogue. He also showed good emotions. Complimenting him is John Abraham who locked horns with him and Deepika Padukone who on one side exploded like a beauty bomb and on the other side exploded in action sequences. The presence of Salman Khan powered the film to another level. Had little more twists and turns included in the screenplay and the story been fine-tuned to remove the monotony, Pathaan would have resulted in a powerful explosion. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Pathaan.
