I went to watch movies because of the trailer. I am a very neutral person, I am not such a huge fan of any actor or actress. In this review, I am sharing my personal opinions regarding the movie. No offenses to any of the viewers and readers. We all have our personal preferences and respect your own choice.
The first half of the movie was awesome for me. There were some minor flaws of course but it was totally acceptable. I loved the one on one fight, the entry scenes of all the actors, sound effects and so on. After interval, it was a total mental torture.
The unexpected entry of Salman is not wow but a gimmick. Their crazy fans are just cheering and whistling for no reasons. The director put him to attract his fans. Everyone knows how crazy people were to see both SRK and SK in a single picture. Director applied the exact logic to attract more and more viewers and it was also an unofficial promotion of Tiger 3. In the scene, the jump they made during train crash seems impossible and very unrealistic.
I see so many people are complaining about actors acting. I think everyone provided fair justice to their roles. The major flaws were with scripts, directions and dialogues. I personally enjoyed the role of John Abhram.
I also didn't like the heist part to access the vault. It was kind of childish. How come such part presented in the movie packed with full of actions and potentials. Deepika's role supporting jim and later joining pathaan is also a weak point for me. The idea is very old and not only that, it shows women can't be trusted. This also reflects women as a betrayal and a weak character. I hardly like strong characters changing their side.
The thing that I hated most is that the logic and ideas the director put in the movie especially the missile's timer part. The script needed to be rectified before production but sadly, no actions were taken and it is so clear in the movie. Very little time to stop the missile but after lots of talk and ages of fights, they stopped it with in 3 minutes timer period which is ideally not possible and absolutely not acceptable in movie. Either the timer must have been of more minutes or the missile must have been launched. They could have stopped it after it launched but none happened. The mental torture started here because it is very hard for brain to process such illogical ideas.
There was no possible ways to stop the last missile which was launched to destroy plane that was carrying virus but they did it in the last 0.02 sec. The 2 minutes timer didn't finish after ages of fights. Jim might have been successfully disappeared with the virus detonator but he didn't. He could have set the first missile in action when he had time but he didn't. I think instead of taking his revenge, he was trying to help pathaan the whole time.
So many good scenes, good fighting's, good songs but due to poor script, I couldn't enjoy the movie especially after first half. If few changes had been made, it would have been one of the best movie to watch in theatre. I think it is not essential for every badass movie to have a good and happy ending like saving all the people by defying logics and scenes. People are blaming SRK because of his old age. Please don't do so, this does not make any sense and I'm saying this as a non SRK fan.
