‘My Estimate of Fools in India has Gone up’, says Markandey Katju
Markandey Katju, a former judge of India’s Supreme Court as well as a former head of India’s Press Council, took to Twitter and stated, “My estimation of fools in India has gone up from 90% to 95% after observing the response to the film Pathan.”
Despite protests in certain regions of the country, the spy thriller Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, was released in theaters on January 25 to a blockbuster opening.
Controversial saffron bikini in Besharam Rang retained
Deepika Padukone’s saffron bikini from the first song of Pathaan, “Besharam Rang,” made it into the final cut, even though some political and religious groups were upset about it.
Since the song came out last year, it has caused trouble because of the color of Deepika Padukone’s bikini, which has led to rumors that it will be taken down.
After Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra spoke out against “Besharam Rang,” the movie became a source of controversy. Deepika was seen in the video wearing a saffron bikini, which upset some political and religious groups.
But now that the movie is out, after cuts made by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), it looks like the saffron bikini was kept after all!
‘Too many Surprises’
“Tense action drama with amazing visual effects. “There were too many surprises,” one viewer wrote.
‘Best Action Movie this Decade
“The best action movie of this decade is Pathaan. From the beginning to the end, you won’t want to stop watching this action-thriller movie. Expect high-energy chase scenes, a new spy story, a tight, racy screenplay, amazing locations, cameos by famous actors, and hit music. Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham will do a great job directing and acting in the movie. Another common man said, “Five out of five stars.”
Pathan is a Patriotic Film
One reviewer said, “Pathan was a movie that deserved 10 out of 10 stars. Pathan is a patriotic movie about a soldier who doesn’t care about his life for his country.”
Lots of Praise for Action scene on Train
People who have seen the movie can’t stop talking about the action scene that takes place on top of a train. The scene was also shown in the trailer.
VHP withdraws ‘Boycott Pathaan’
For now, VHP will not go against Pathaan. “Keeping in mind what we said before, the changes made to the movie are right. Shriraj Nair, a spokesman for the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), said, “If we find anything wrong with the movie after we see it, we’ll think again about opposing it.”
Pathaan Hailed for Action set Piece

‘Deepika Padukone could Burn your Screen’
KoiMoi.com says, “Shah Rukh Khan brings the “mass” back to massala entertainers, and Deepika Padukone could burn your screen!”
Pathaan ‘lambi race ka ghoda’
“The story scared me a lot, but it didn’t upset me. I gave it a 4/5. And everything about the story, the screenplay, the dialogue, and everything else was just great. I’m not going to give anything away, so go watch it. Everyone in the theater was having a great time watching the movie. “After seeing how much the audience liked it, I think this movie is a lambi race ka ghoda,” says another reviewer.
‘Once in a lifetime film’
“Pathaan is a movie you’ll never see again. The action episodes are just lit. Even if you don’t like the movie, you can’t help but applaud and whistle during the action scenes with John and srk “wrote one viewer. “Music is wonderful. Salman’s appearance is great. Single screens will definitely light up. Prepare for a wild ride. The interval bang and the climax deserve special attention. Not to mention, Bgm is the best in the world. Pathaan is a theater experience as a whole (sic).
SRK’s new avatar praised
“The whole movie is full of suspense. Great cameos and hints, over-the-top action, gripping, fast-paced, and great to see SRK in this new role. Siddharth Anand has done it again, just like with War. “The movie has twists and turns, so you should watch it first,” says a reviewer.
Pathaan Praised for action, VFX
Early reviews of Pathaan give it high marks for its action, visual effects, and background music. “What a great time! It was crazy to see so many cameos. One of Bollywood’s best action-thrillers. Really fun and almost a pleasant surprise. SRK worked hard for 4 years and put in a lot of time to get something serious. “Won’t give anything away, but you should go watch it,” wrote one viewer.
Pathaan winning South India
Pathaan is also one of the first Bollywood movies to be at the top of the advance ticket sales charts in the south of the country. Gaiety, Galaxy, and Maratha Mandir, three well-known single-screen movie theaters in Mumbai, all had between 70 and 80% of their seats filled.
Single screens reopen for Pathaan
More than 25 single-screen theaters across the country are expected to reopen to make room for SRK’s movie Pathaan. In a recent tweet, Shah Rukh Khan gave a list of single-screen theaters that will be opening in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, and Goa.
Pathaan is bigger than previous biggies
Pathaan has sold more tickets than a lot of other movies, including War (4.10 lakh), Thugs of Hindostan (3.46 lakh), and even Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (3.36 lakh) (3.40 lakh tickets sold).
Pathaan expected to earn ₹45 crores on opening day
Pathaan is going to have a great start because everyone is so excited and has such high hopes for it. The much-anticipated SRK movie may make more than 45 crores on its first day, according to predictions from the trade.
Pathan to Release on Roughly 5,000 screens in India
Pathan will be shown on about 5,000 screens in India. This is Shah Rukh Khan’s first movie to be shown at 6 AM. The movie from Yash Raj Films will open in theaters the day before Republic Day in 2023. This will give Pathaan a five-day long opening weekend.
Pathaan Beats KGF 2
The Yash Raj Film (YRF) movie did better than the KGF – Chapter 2 (Hindi) movie, which sold 5.15 lakh copies. With 5.21 lakh ticket sales, Pathaan did better than it. The Hindi version of Baahubali 2 was seen by 6.5 million people.
