Pathaan (film)
Pathaan (pronounced [pəʈʰaːn]) is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan in the titular role, alongside Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia, and Ashutosh Rana. It is the fourth instalment in the YRF Spy Universe and the first instalment in the universe to establish crossovers between characters from other universe films. The film follows an exiled RAW agent who works with an ISI agent to take down a former RAW agent turned rogue, who plans to attack India with a deadly lab-generated virus.
Principal photography commenced in November 2020 in Mumbai. The film was shot in various locations in India, Afghanistan, Spain, UAE, Turkey, Russia, Italy, and France. The film's soundtrack was composed by Vishal–Shekhar, while Sanchit Balhara and Ankit Balhara composed the background score. The film was made on an estimated production budget of ₹250 crore (US$30 million).
Pathaan was theatrically released in India on 25 January 2023, coinciding with the Republic Day weekend. The film received generally positive reviews from critics. It broke several box office records for a Hindi film, including the highest opening day, highest single day, highest opening weekend and highest opening week for a Hindi film in India. It eventually emerged as the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time in India to that point and set records in all major overseas markets. Pathaan grossed ₹1,050.30 crore (US$120 million) worldwide, becoming the second highest-grossing Indian film of 2023, third highest-grossing Hindi film of all time, and eighth highest-grossing Indian film of all time. At the 69th Filmfare Awards, the film received 16 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actress (Padukone), and won Best Female Playback Singer (Shilpa Rao for the song "Besharam Rang"). A sequel is in development.
In 2019, the Indian Government revokes Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which grants special status for Jammu and Kashmir. The news impacts a cancer-ridden Pakistani Army officer, General Qadir, who decides to exact vengeance against India and signs a contract with a private terrorist organisation called Outfit X.
2022: Pathaan, a RAW agent, travels to Africa and captures arms dealer Raafe, who is alarmed to see that he is still alive. Back in India, upon inquisition by a junior, RAW officer Nandini Grewal narrates Pathaan's past after something they have been looking for is found.
2020: Shortly after recovering from a mission in Myanmar, Pathaan and Nandini form a unit known as "Joint Operations and Covert Research" (J.O.C.R.) to recruit ex-agents and soldiers who were forced to retire, but want to continue serving their country. With Colonel Sunil Luthra's permission, Pathaan and his team head to Dubai to stop Outfit X's suspected plans of attacking the President of India. However, too late they realize that their actual plan was to kidnap two scientists, Dr. Farooqui and Dr. Sahani, who were initially supposed to be part of the President's convoy.
Jim, who leads Outfit X, attacks the scientists' convoy and Pathaan tries to stop him. A fight ensues and Jim manages to escape with Dr. Sahani. During a debrief back at agency headquarters, Luthra reveals to Pathaan and Nandini that Jim was a former agent and Kabir's former partner, who was awarded the Vir Puraskar for his bravery, his uncle filling in for him to the "posthumous" honour, after the agency could not find his body when Somalian terrorists kidnapped him and killed his pregnant wife out of vengeance for a ransom deal gone wrong. He faked his death in order to seek vengeance against the country.
Meanwhile, Pathaan is made aware of a codeword, "Raktbeej", in the process, he learns that the dead people in Dubai were ex-agents and their money was transferred from the account of Rubina "Rubai" Mohsin, a Pakistani doctor in Spain. Pathaan travels to Spain and is captured by Jim's men, all former agents of their respective national intelligence agencies, where he also learns that Rubai is an ex-ISI agent, and Raafe his henchman. When Jim leaves his hideout, Rubai attacks Jim's men and escapes with Pathaan. Following a nightmare about her childhood wherein her father, a doctor, was forcibly tortured to death by the ISI, Rubai reveals that Raktbeej is in Moscow, and they travel to steal it before Jim does. Pathaan reveals to Rubai how he was given his name after he helped rescue children in an Afghan village; he was born an orphan abandoned in a cinema hall. Almost on the verge of the mission being successful, Rubai betrays Pathaan and has him captured by the Russian police. It is revealed that Jim used Rubai to make Pathaan steal the Raktbeej for himself. After Nandini disclaims him, Pathaan is taken to prison by a train, but is saved by Tiger; they promise to meet on one of Tiger's later missions.
