Shahrukh Khan PATHAN Movie REVIEW

Shahrukh Khan said that he came to Bollywood to be an Action idol but he missed the boat it's taken him 32 times to do his first full- fledged action film Pathan which is the fourth film in the Yash Raj's film spivers the delay was worth it but Hannah's  numerous  effects starting with being a comeback vehicle for Shahrukh after a four- time Hiatus in the last two  flicks before his break  poke Harry met sejal and zero the actors  sounded to be flailing around trying to find his Landing after 25 times of being Hindi Cinema's most cherished romantic   idol you could  smell the fatigue as though time and  medium scripts had eventually  rasped that irrepressible energy and that inexhaustible charm the emperor gets his Groove Back Time   From his  stimulating  prolusions seen to the end sequence in which co-writer and director Siddharth Anand tips his   chapeau to three decades of stardom Shahrukh commands the frame like Liam Neeson with taken Shahrukh's late career pivot to  Action idol is a thing of beauty at 57 the boyish  vibrance has given way to a harder- edged  nonchalance at one point  Pathan is lying on the  bottom bleeding  girdled by husky men who want to kill him he casually suggests that they all take a time out   kind of moment that you can only pull off if you have the  avail it's also a relief that Pathan is not presented as this imperishable force of nature we see him get physically tired we see him get defeated his long hair and Swagger stay in place but Shahrukh  constantly  plays  cane like a superhero you might be  suitable to have a  discussion with which is not  inescapably true of yrf's OG  asset barracuda Siddharth and  script  pen Sridhar Raghavan's Ace move is to  produce a villain  redoubtable enough to make you worry for Pathan Siddharth   adroitly utilizes John Abraham's assessing physicality to  produce a battle of  coordinates and the two write his character Jim has a backstory that has  further emotional resonance than the usual  homilies of bad guys who want to rule the the world after too  numerous citable  flicks  Jon is back in his element  fitting  a band of devilish humor in all his heinous plans at one point Jim is ironically effervescing the iconic Lata manages foreign Ty Deepika of course ramps up the sultry Glam with besharam  chimed her character is equal  corridor Dogface and supermodel but Siddharth also makes sure to give us shirtless Jon and shirtless Shahrukh and happily, Deepika is  further than just an eye  delicacy there's one scene with her applying a gigantic Gatling gun which establishes her as a bona fide action star I hope it serves as a screen test for spin- off possibilities, it's also a joy to see seasoned actors Ashutosh Rana and dimple Kapadia as the  elderly establishment dimple Echoes Judy Dench as M from the Bond  pictures in the stylish a possible way where the film falters is the  script which is counted down by  sophisticated  report and in places, the VFX wobbles Siddharth has a  gift for orchestrating big scale Mayhem but at times it feels like he is too enamored by his set pieces then he's  backed by action directors CaseyO'Neill Craig McRae and Sunil Rodriguez the plot Hopscotch is across several countries and some of the sequences  sounded to reverse  finagled from the  locales like this the action sequence on a frozen lake in Russia at times the quality of the VFX does not  feel to keep Pace with Siddharth's imagination  cane and Jim chasing each other on  spurt packs or this elaborate  pinch in Moscow was dangerously close to silly this film is designed to  give a continual visceral Rush of sensation but there are sequences when the energy Flags Siddharth's grip loosens but thankfully he manages to steer it back on course at one point with a unexpectedly moving a scene in which several people  offered themselves for the good of the country and this is the cherry on the  cutlet Pathan serves as a palatable nationalism I was cheering and tearing up as I exited the theater allowing about the sheer joy that Shahrukh has added to our lives yrf the plant that consecrated him as Rahul and Raj has now reinvented him as a  rescuer of the world with charm and brainpower chivalry and compassion should be welcome back
