I wanted to like this movie. Been a fan of SRK for years. But we tried twice and just couldn't get through it. Bollywood movies are generally derivative and formulaic, but 'Pathaan' is just ridiculously absurd. Utterly and completely, over-the-top, bombastic and unbelievable stupidity. It almost plays like an old Wile E. Coyote cartoon from the 1970's. Could not get past the scene where Jim and Pathaan are doing Shao-lin kung fu on top of a speeding semi truck, and then Jim pulls a HELICOPTER towards him (a helicopter that came out of nowhere) on a dangling chain and flies off among the skyscrapers. Oh. My. God. Skip it and save your brain cells.
