Pathaan (2023)

I have watched Srk since Badshah days and I have to say, his luck has run out in terms of picking the right project.Tigmanshu Dhulia once said in an interview that SRK is oscar material if someone can extract the craft from him. Sadly Siddharth Anand is not the guy. All new-age upcoming directors should watch this movie only to learn how to not make one.I can’t think of any positives other than the fact that the project offered employment to the technicians of various departments.PS: You’ll enjoy this movie if you have liked the previous Indian Masala ‘RAW AGENT’ Twerking on a dance number in the middle of a covert op garbage but even then Pathaan is not better than Siddharth Anand’s previous attempts at filmmaking.If like me, you enjoyed the Bourne series, Skyfall, Ghost Protocol, Zero Dark Thirty, Sicario or even some decent Indian projects like Baby, Naam Shabana and Airlift then stay away from this. It’s Brain cancer.
