The wife and I are fans of “classic” Shah Rukh Khan (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0451321), so even though we were fairly certain that it would be bad, we went ahead and watched “Pathaan” (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12844910) anyway …
It was much, much worse than we’d feared 😕
The movie was a by-the-numbers spy movie — nothing original, and everything feeling devoid of life. There didn’t seem to be anything at stake at any point and we didn’t feel as if there’s was any danger or jeopardy.
The fights felt like choreographed dances where everybody flexed their biceps and their hair moved slowly and languidly while they went through their moves 😛
We haven’t finished watching the movie (and honestly, we don’t want to.) But we’ll probably go ahead and finish it just to see if it gets any better. But I’m certain it won’t.
I don’t think that despite him wanting very badly to be an action hero, Shah Rukh Khan is cut out to play that kind of role. Especially not if he has people directing him like in “Pathaan” because this was not action — it was all choreography …
