Pathaan is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film[4] written and directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Aditya Chopra.[5] The film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, alongside Dimple Kapadia and Ashutosh Rana.[5] It is the fourth instalment in the YRF Spy Universe, and is Khan's first film as a lead actor since Zero (2018). In the film, Pathaan, an exiled RAW agent must take down Jim, a former RAW agent-turned-rogue leader of a private terror organisation, who is planning to spread a deadly lab-generated virus across India.

Pathaan was released in India on 25 January 2023, coinciding with Republic Day weekend in IMAX, 4DX and standard formats along with dubbed versions in Telugu and Tamil.[6][7] It received positive reviews from critics and broke several box-office records, including the biggest opening day and opening weekend for a Hindi film.[8][9] Grossing over ₹412 crore in its first four days, Pathaan ranks as one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of all time.[10]

Plot

In 2019, the Indian Government revokes Article 370, which grants special status for Jammu and Kashmir. The news impacts a cancer-ridden Pakistani army general, Qadir, who decides to exact vengeance against India. He signs a contract with Jim, who leads "Outfit X", a private terrorist organization. Meanwhile, Pathaan, a former RAW agent, and his senior officer Nandini, open a unit dubbed, "Joint Operation and Covert Research" (JOCR), recruiting agents who were forced to retire due to trauma or injury.

With RAW joint secretary, Colonel Sunil Luthra's acceptance, Pathaan and his team head to Dubai to stop Outfit X's plans of attacking the President of India at a scientific conference. However, they realize that their actual plan was to kidnap two scientists. Jim attacks the scientists's convoy and Pathaan tries to stop him. A fight ensues, where Jim manages to escape with one of the scientists. Luthra reveals that Jim was a former RAW agent, who was declared dead years ago, but actually faked his death in order to seek vengeance against his country for letting his wife and unborn child get killed at the hands of Somalian terrorists.

Meanwhile, Pathaan learns about the codeword dubbed "Raktbeej" and also that the dead people in Dubai were ex-agents and their money was transferred to Rubina Mohsin, a Pakistani doctor in Spain. He travels to Spain and is captured by Jim's men, where he also learns that Rubina is actually an ex-ISI agent. When Jim leaves his hideout, Rubina attacks Jim's men and escapes with Pathaan. Rubina reveals that Raktbeej is in Moscow, where they travel to steal it before Jim does. However, Rubina betrays Pathaan and has him captured by the police. It is revealed that Jim actually used Rubina to make Pathaan steal Raktbeej for himself. Pathaan is captured and taken to prison, but is saved by Tiger.

Three years later, Pathaan travels to Africa and captures Jim's henchman, Raafe. He meets Nandini and reveals about Jim purchasing two saber missiles, while Nandini reveals Rubina's location in Paris. Pathaan meets Rubina, who reveals that the Raktbeej is a smallpox-designed mutated deadly virus, made by the scientist Jim captured. She also expresses guilty about betraying Pathaan without knowing that her country would plan such an attack. They travel to Jim's lab and manage to recover one orb containing the virus, while Jim escapes with the other. Pathaan and his team head to a lab to prepare a vaccine for the virus.

Jim calls them and reveals that the orb has already spread the virus in the lab. The infected scientists, along with Nandini die in the lab. Later, the lab is destroyed in a blast to prevent the spread of the virus. Jim provides an ultimatum to evacuate Indian soldiers out of Kashmir within 24 hours. Pathaan interrogates Raafe about the location of the missile, and learns that the missile is situated in Afghanistan. By luring Jim's soldiers into a trap, Pathaan and his team attack Jim's base where Qadir is killed by Rubina before activating the missile, containing the virus. Pathaan chases after Jim with a jetpack, and they both crash land into a cabin.

Meanwhile, Rubina deactivates the missile, but finds that Raktbeej is not in the missile, instead in a passenger bounded airplane, which is about to land in Delhi. She informs Pathaan, who finds that Jim has the detonator. Luthra calls the air traffic control to prevent the plane from landing in Delhi. In the cabin, Pathaan and Jim fight brutally. Despite getting stabbed by Jim, Pathaan steals the detonator and deactivates Raktbeej. He kills Jim by throwing him off the cliff. Afterwards, Pathaan is reinstated into RAW and made as the head of JOCR, while Nandini is posthumously awarded for her bravery.

In the post-credits scene, Pathaan and Tiger are seen pondering about retiring and suggesting young agents who can replace them, but decide to keep fighting the threats themselves.

"Besharam Rang" protests

Right-wing Hindutva groups alleged that the song "Besharam Rang" promotes obscenity and that it disrespects the saffron colour as Padukone features in a saffron bikini in the song.[46] Madhya Pradesh home minister Narottam Mishra called the song objectionable and warned that his government may consider banning the film if costumes in the song are not corrected.[47] Khan's effigies and posters were burnt in various cities of Madhya Pradesh as a symbol of protest against the film.[48] TV actor Mukesh Khanna questioned the Censor Board for passing the song despite obscenity.[49] The News Minute termed the entire controversy as "shameless misreading for jingoism" and stated that there were five different costumes worn by Padukone in the song and the Hindu groups are hyping the orange bikini scene which features merely for 20 seconds as it suits their agenda.[50] A Muslim organization also objected to the song.[51]

On 29 December 2022, the Central Board of Film Certification asked the filmmakers to make some changes in the film, including in its songs citing culture and faith.[52] The film went through some minor changes though the saffron bikini scene in the song "Besharam Rang" was reportedly retained.[53] Pathaan was later granted a U/A certificate by the Board.[1]

On 4 January 2023, members of Bajrang Dal tore down the posters of the film at an Ahmedabad mall. They also warned them to not release the film in theatres.[54] Gujarat Multiplex Association wrote a letter to Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi on the threats received by the theater owners in Gujarat from various groups. Sanghavi assured protection to multiplexes on the release of the film and instructed police chiefs of cities and districts to provide protection to the theatres.[55]

On 17 January 2023, during the BJP national executive meeting in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told his party workers and leaders to refrain from making unnecessary remarks on films.[56][57] Despite this, Bajrang Dal activists tore down posters of the film and set them on fire at a cinema hall which was about to screen the movie in Guwahati. Assam's CM Himanta Biswa Sarma assured Shah Rukh that his government would maintain the law and order in the state.[58]

It will be a hard act to follow".[75] Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Pathaan has all the ingredients of a masala potboiler — slowmo entries, iconic battle of good versus bad and most importantly a sexy-smouldering Shah Rukh Khan, who can fight the good fight on and off the screen".[76] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and opined that it has "finally cracked the requirements of an action movie — non-stop action, leavened by glamorous leads, topped by the guy who can save the world, a high-octane set piece and an emo line at a time".[77] Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and wrote, "Pathaan is so much fun when it’s being fun especially with a smashing Salman Khan cameo – that it is tempting to overlook its play-it-safe politics".[78]

Sajesh Mohan of Onmanorama stated that "Siddharth Anand's Pathaan lays out a perfect red-carpet entry for Shah Rukh Khan into the YRF Spy Universe with its right formula of high-octane death and logic-defying action sequences seasoned with desh bhakti (patriotism) and qurbani (sacrifice)."[87] Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times stated, "Pathaan is your true-blue commercial, masala entertainer that's not trying to send across any message or be a social commentary on the current state of affairs in the country. It's fun, non-fussy and fantastic at the same time".[88] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in wrote, "The movie’s greatest blaster is its hero itself, parleying his well-oiled impishness, time-tested charm and mesmeric screen presence for a cheesy but also entertaining save-the-nation exercise".[89]

International

Cath Clarke of The Guardian rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "This enjoyable high-octane action spy movie from India is possibly the most fun you can currently have at the cinema.
