Director: Siddharth Anand

Producer: Aditya Chopra

Bollywood ‘King Khan’ Shahrukh Khan hasn’t delivered a hit after Chennai Express. After the flop of his last movie Zero, the star hero took a long break of four years and came with an action entertainer Pathaan. Directed by Sidharth Anand of War fame, the movie is produced by Aditya Chopra who directed SRK’s all-time classic DDLJ. The movie has been hitting the headlines for various reasons and the latest one was about Deepika’s costumes in the song. Amid huge hype, the movie is released today. Let’s see whether it can live up to the hype or not.

Story:

Pathaan (Shahrukh Khan) is an Indian RAW agent who goes into exile mode after an incident. After Article 370 was scrapped in India, a Pakistani official plan for an attack on India and takes the help of Jim (John Abraham) to carry out the mission. Even Jim was a former RAW agent but turns into a terrorist and hires ISI agent Rubina Khan (Deepika Padukone). What makes Jim go against his own country and how Pathaan faces the abrupt mission is the rest of the story.

Analysis:

Sidharth Anand who proved his mettle as a master of action thrillers has proved it again. He has all the ingredients in Pathaan to make it a perfect action thriller. The movie looks like a visual extravaganza but logic takes a back seat. Though the action scenes are stunning and the songs are good, the movie looks artificial and lacks the necessary emotion when the flashback episodes of the lead cast are revealed.

Advantages:

• Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone
• Salman Khan Cameo
• Cinematography
• Action Sequences
• BGM

Disadvantages:

• Flat Story Line
• Illogical Scenes
• Screenplay
• Predictable Narration

Verdict:

 On the whole, Pathaan is a stylishly made entertainer with stunning action sequences that will cater to the mass audience. With no great writing and a predictable storyline, the movie may appeal to action lovers. Keep your expectations low on spy elements.
