Pathaan" was supposed to be the next big action blockbuster starring the one and only Shah Rukh Khan. But unfortunately, it turned out to be a complete and utter CGI disaster. The special effects were so bad, I couldn't tell if I was watching a movie or a video game from the early 2000s. And the action sequences? Don't even get me started. I've seen more choreographed fights in my local karate class.
The plot was also a mess. It was as if the writers took a bunch of different movie ideas and threw them all together without any rhyme or reason. And let's not forget about the terrible dialogue. I've heard more convincing acting from my cat when he's pretending to be asleep.
But the real kicker? Shah Rukh Khan's performance. He was so wooden, I was convinced he was actually a robot. I'm not sure if he was sleepwalking through the role or if he was just phoning it in, but either way, it was a huge disappointment.
In short, "Pathaan" is a movie that's best avoided. Unless of course, you're in the mood for a good laugh at the expense of some terrible CGI and sloppy action sequences. But even then, you're better off watching a different movie.
