Breaking down the highs and lows of Pathaan: What worked and what didn't
Spoilers ahead for Pathaan Shah Rukh Khan plays Pathaan, a one man army that often needs help from painkillers. It’s no wonder that SRK chose Siddharth Anand to helm his “comeback movie” after what the filmmaker achieved with War - giving us an ode to the Hrithik Roshan Greek God aura within a stylish action film. Shah Rukh Khan may be responsible for one of the modern Hindi cinema's greatest action set pieces with Ra One's local train sequence, but he may well have just matched it with this one. Like all great movie star spectacles - the persona of the superstar bleeds into the film, in this case referring to SRK’s inclusive messaging and secular beliefs. Even in its talk of patriotism and duty, like its hero, Pathaan’s messaging felt too gentle and kind to ever fall into jingoism.
