Our verdict
Pathaan is a solid action-thriller with Shah Rukh Khan leading a mission to complete what he started. The 146-minute runtime and supporting cast keep the plot moving, though the genre may feel familiar. It's a decent watch for action fans, but not for those seeking a shorter or lighter film.
