Looking at the teaser, it seems that the film has been made just for the big screen experience.
The teaser of Shahrukh’s comeback film ‘Pathaan’ is out. Fans have been waiting for a long time to see him on the big screen. In 2022, he did cameos in ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ and ‘Brahmastra’. But his return in full flanged form is going to happen only from ‘Pathan’. The one minute 24 second teaser of ‘Pathan’ shows a lot. Still the full story is not known. It would not be wrong to say that this is going to be the first such film of Shahrukh’s career, where he has done over the top type action. Over the top is not talking about ‘Main Hoon Na’ or ‘Om Shanti Om’.
Well, the teaser starts with the voice of a man. Who asks what do you know about Pathan. The answer comes from the front that there is no news of him for three years. It seems exactly the same when no big film of his came after ‘Zero’. We learn that Pathan was sent on a mission. where he was caught. He was tortured. But she is alive. The teaser doesn’t reveal much details about Shahrukh’s character. It just makes sense that he must have been a spy who was caught on a mission. John Abraham is also seen in the teaser flying a car with a rocket launcher. His character is going to be the villain of the story. Some action shots of Shahrukh and his character are also seen.
Then comes the third big name of the cast, Deepika Padukone. She seems to be taking action. He may have become a spy like the ‘Pathan’. There is also a romantic chemistry between his character and Pathan. Shahrukh has planned ‘Pathan’ according to the big screen experience. ‘Pathan’ does not seem like a film that you will be able to enjoy on the small screen. The shotgun spins in the air, in slow motion. Then it comes in the hands of Pathan. He hits dialogues like ‘Zinda Hai’ and ‘Boom’. Whistles are played in cinema halls only on such scenes. It looks like a pure entertainment film. In which there is no evil. That is to say, seeing the teaser, it does not feel that anything new has been tried here. It looks like a formula film.
Whether the formula is just right or not, it will be known when the film comes out. Larger than life films have started getting more priority in theaters since the OTT revolution. This is also a big reason that films like RRR and ‘Pushpa’ were able to do strong business in the Hindi belt. People will set aside logic for once. Your story should be engaging and people should just enjoy it. From the teaser of ‘Pathan’, it seems that it is trying to target the same entertainment value and fun factor. After the completion of shooting at Yash Raj Studios and foreign locations, work on the VFX of the film started. A glimpse of the same VFX is also seen in the teaser. Such work has been done on VFX that does not seem completely fake.
Don’t try to find logic in the rest of the teaser. Bikes are seen running on the snow. On the bike in the air, Pathan throws 4 bombs at the car. Just whether this story can divert attention from logic, it will be known on January 25, 2023.
