Shah Rukh Khan’s Mission to Save Bharat Begins

After a long wait, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham-starrer Pathaan trailer is finally here. From the looks of it, the film is a treat for every SRK fan who has been waiting for him to charm us on the silver since 2018. Pathaan is scheduled to release in the theaters on January 25.

As the SRK returns to the silver screen after four years, director Siddharth Anand has made sure its worth the wait. The two and a half minute-long trailer is high on action and even has a fight on ice sequence. The power-packed trailer offers tons of action with several aerial sequences, nail biting stunts from all three lead actors and much more. This definitely looks like a ride to look forward to.

The trailer begins with a voiceover by Dimple Kapadia explaining a private terror group’s mission against India, spearheaded by John Abraham. To fight him, there is Pathaan, who has to end his ‘vanvaas’ (exile). Here enters Shah Rukh as Pathaan voicing some heavy-duty dialogues likes, “Party pathaan ke ghar rakhoge toh mehmaannawazi ke liye Pathaan toh aayega, aur pathaake bhi layega”. But the sad part, we only get to see the swag of SRK in just this one dialogue. Rest, all we get are some generic moments featuring John and Deepika. Salman Khan is conspicuous by his absence and it seems his cameo will be kept under wraps by YRF.

The action sequences of the film are just like any action sequence you will see in today’s action movie, full of VFX. The trailer was also shared in Tamil and Telugu by actors Vijay and Ram Charan, respectively.

Pathaan has been creating a lot of noise for reasons both good and bad. Film’s first song “Besharam Rang” dropped on December 12, and opened a can of worms for the makers of the film. The song first got criticised for its unappealing choreography by the audience and later it got mired in controversy for the colour of Deepika’s costumes. It has reached a level where protests were held in some parts of the country against the film’s release.

While Shah Rukh has ensured that he is confident about Pathaan being a hit. He has promised that Pathaan is an ‘over-the-top’ action film and he “whistled the loudest” when he saw the trailer for the film.
