SRK is back to rule the box office with Pathaan!

After 4 years of exile, SRK is back to rule the box office with Pathaan. The movie is set to release on the 25th of January, 2023 — strategically planned for the Indian Republic day weekend. If you’ve been missing the SRK magic of Main Hoon Na, Don, and Jab Tak Hain Jaan, Pathaan might end it. 

Paathan Movie trailer is a big hit amassing 50Mn+ views in about a week. 

In this article, we shall talk about some of the top buzz around the movie, and we will also share the magicpin’s BookMyShow and PVR vouchers to book an advanced Pathaan movie ticket. 

Scroll. Screen. Action. 

Pathaan movie star cast

Shah Rukh Khan & Deepika

With a star-studded casting, Pathaan brings back the hit combo of Shah Rukh Khan & Deepika Padukone. This will be their fourth movie together after giving hits like Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, and Happy New Year. Shah Rukh will be playing the role of a RAW field agent.

John Abraham

Pathaan also brings back John Abraham & Deepika after a long wait of 10 years. Fans loved them as love birds in Desi Boyz & as Siblings in Race 2. If you loved seeing John in negative roles — Pathaan is going to be exciting. Yup! He is the main antagonist in the movie.

Salman Khan

If this star cast was not already too glittery, Salman Khan is set to mark a cameo entry as the agent “Tiger” — “Shikaar toh sab karte hain, lekin Tiger se behtar shikaar koi nahi karta”.

Ashutosh Rana & Dimple Kapadia

Biggies like Ashutosh Rana and Dimple Kapadia will also play important roles in the movie Pathaan. By the way, do you too love the deep-toned Rana’s dialogue delivery? He’s playing a colonel in the Pathaan movie 2023.

Shaji Choudhary

Lastly, not to forget, our very own Maqbool Khan from planet Mirzapur is also part of Pathaan. Jalwa Hai Inka.

Pathaan movie controversies

VHP & Bajrang Dal

There are two universal truths — the sun rises in the east & the ‘Khan’ movies make controversies ;) 

Anyway, almost every movie these days causes some or the other controversy. People oppose the release of movies for various reasons, and luckily/unluckily Pathaan is in that zone where it is facing a lot of resistance (at least that’s what is apparent). And it is to the level that the Gujarat Govt. had to announce police protection to multiplexes for the release of Pathaan.

My undercover entertainment world agents say that VHP & BD are not happy with the use of the orange dress worn by Deepika (obscenity) in the song — they say it was purposefully done to disrespect the color Kesariya which is held auspicious within the majority community.

The song is titled Besharam Rang. The controversy was big enough to catch the attention of the Country’s supremo — Narendra Modi. He instructed his followers to keep away from making remarks about the movie.
