Pathan: Advance-booking stats are soothing to makers
The pre-booking stats are soothing to the makers as they have sold more than 2 lacs of tickets on the first day of its pre-booking. It has got a couple of days left and this figure might have the chance to break all the previously acclaimed records of pre-booking. Renowned movie critics are expecting 100 crores of box office collections in the first two days of its release. The chances are in the sky that this film may be the next blockbuster of Shahrukh Khan
The storyline of Pathan is full of twists and turn :
Makers have already confessed that the storyline and plot of the Pathan can not be determined by just 3 minutes of the trailer. As per director Sidharth Anand, It has got a few interesting twists and turns which would surprise the audience to the next level. However, the plot of the film revolves around RAW field operations which include the takedown of a private terrorist organisation called “Outfit X” which works on contracts to spread terrorism. The terror organization “Outfit X” is planning a massive attack on India under the leadership of the lead negative character of John Abraham.
The RAW officers decided to call the lead role “Pathan” for the operation of this task. The meta universe created by the assumptions of Sidharth Anand is truly impressive in the trailer as Shahrukh Khan is going out of the blue to flamboyant scenes full of action and stunts. Deepika Padukone’s role is quite inquisitive and full of suspense as she is helping out Pathan to make this task successful. The film is all about saving India from a nuclear attack and in between you will get to experience an interesting storyline.
Caste of Pathan :
Apart from Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, this film has been made by casting some of the most renowned actors in Bollywood. One big surprise is coming on your way after decades in Bollywood i.e special cameo of Salman Khan in the Shahrukh starer movie. This film has been shot with the following cast;

Controversies around the Pathan :
Way before the release of this film, the boycott gang erupted on social media sites and called for a complete boycott of this film. The boycott gang include a few religious groups and some leaders of the current ruling party. A few cinema halls were vandalised and some theatre owners are constantly getting death threats for releasing the film. However, PM Modi’s recent statement directed party leaders to refrain from commenting on Bollywood and films. The statement made by our honourable Prime Minister has slowed down the effect of boycott culture on social media and pre-bookings are at an all-time high.
The censor board have also suggested a few changes to movie makers which were objected to as hurtful. The chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), Prasoon Joshi has suggested some changes in the songs and overall plot. The song of the Pathan with the title ” besharam rang” was objected because of the outfits worn by Deepika Padukone. Despite all this chaos, the film seems to get a massive welcome at the box office.
Conclusion :
If you’re a die-hard fan of Shahrukh Khan then you must witness this film on the big screen. This film has got some special effects of action and stunts which would only look good on a giant screen. The makers have invested a lot of money and time in this film, and they are very optimistic about the success of the film.
