Critic Reviews
Pathaan (2023) Review: Star Power Over Spycraft
★★★☆☆
Pathaan is Siddharth Anand's glossy Hindi spy blockbuster that brought Shah Rukh Khan back as an action hero, big on swagger and set pieces, thin on plotting.
It depends. Shah Rukh Khan fans and viewers after glossy action spectacle will have fun, but anyone wanting a sharp, credible spy thriller will find it hollow.
