If War is the benchmark, this touches that safely but that film was just a 2.5/5 for me. Sridhar Raghavan’s best work remains to be Bluffmaster, this comes with the great pressure of being ‘grand’ and he treats things with an overly generic treatment.
Siddharth Anand keeps style up & high on the priority list hence hampering the story side of the film which has usually been his weakness. Yes, for they’re enough to keep you intrigued for a while but no they’re not as smart as you’d expect them to be. This spy thriller has some spy & some thrills but are they enough? Yes, and no. It suffers from ‘War’ syndrome, but not as worse. Only if looks could’ve killed, this film could’ve been a better killer. Pathaan Movie Review(Photo Credit –Still From Pathaan) Pathaan Movie Review: Script Analysis Who, amid, all of this could jump in with a cold coffee glass in his hand to save Pathaan? Yep, right.
Pathaan is on a mission to stop him, Rubai is burning up the screen with her hotness & by using a machine gun respectively. He calls himself the ‘aashiq’ of Bharat Maa which sounded kinda weird (could be just me). Jim is creating a ‘Raktbeej’, a virus that could blow up an entire city and we all know in what country that would be – Bharat Maa (as referred by Jim). But the director forgets to focus on why Rubai is what she is. Why Jim is the bad guy and Pathaan is the good guy is explained through some weak subplots. Following the routine ‘spy thriller’ template, we have the good guy in India’s best soldier/spy Pathaan (Shah Rukh Khan), we have a bad guy in Jim (John Abraham), we’ve “I could either seduce you to no limits to fall in love with me or kill you” kinda leading lady in Rubai (Deepika Padukone).
