An Advance Review of Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan
In all fairness, I only saw *Pathaan’s* trailer. But I absolutely hate it. I won’t be watching it. In this movie, there are no real Pathans, a la Alauddin Khalji.

Shah Rukh is desperate to imitate Mad Max. But he is not mad enough to be like Max. He is downright woke; he is like a posh and snobby brat with febrile ego and a jumbo jet sized sense of entitlement. With his face, de-aged by botox and makeup, and h... read more
