Pathaan Review: Shah Rukh Khan's Spy Thriller Has All The Ingredients Of A Bonafide Blockbuster

Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham in lead roles.The Plot Of The Film:Jim (John Abraham) is planning to attack India and his motivation to do so is neither money nor power, but something personal. The only person who can stop this attack and save India is one of RampAW's most powerful agents - Pathaan (Shah Rukh Khan). The film is the origin story of an ex-army man turned undercover agent Pathaan (Shah Rukh Khan) with Rubina (Deepika Padukone) and his mission of saving Indian soil from Jim (John Abraham).What WorkedPathaan is an ambitious action thriller that marks Shah Rukh Khan's return to the Big screen after four long years. If you are looking for the perfect combination of action, thrill, emotion, and drama, Pathaan is the best for you! It is high on star power and style. Pathaan, Jim, and Rubina hop continents and indulge in a dangerous game of betrayal and revenge. The three races to destroy and protect the worlds they love. The highlight of the film is, however, the portrayal of John Abraham as Jim. John's stunt sequences will surely blow your mind, he is outstanding and makes a classic case of the villain overshadowing the hero in portions. Deepika Padukone's never seen look is sizzling and she is perfectly cast. Talking of Salman Khan's cameo as Tiger, every minute he is on the screen warrants a whistle from the audience.What Went DownhillShah Rukh Khan is presented as a superstar of Indian Cinema and it seems that the director is trying to celebrate the comeback of King Khan after such a long time. Deepika's chemistry with SRK feels quite underdeveloped. It lacks the spark that John-SRK's characters share on screen.The Final Verdict Pathaan has all the ingredients of a Bonafide Blockbuster- slow motion entries, an iconic battle of good versus bad, and most importantly portrayal of Shah Rukh Khan, who can fight the good fight on and off the screen. If you are a die-hard fan of Shah Rukh Khan, it's a must-watch for you!
