'Pathaan' Blows The Doors Off the YRF Spy Movie Universe
'Pathaan' Blows The Doors Off the YRF Spy Movie Universe
A nonstop action thrill-ride that redefines the rules of a universe.
The new action thriller Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand and starring Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, is the newest and most thrilling addition to the YRF Spy Universe — so called because they are all made by the production company Yash Raj Films.
The fourth film in the franchise, which also includes Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and its sequel Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) as well as War (2019), delivers on all the high-octane action and espionage that fans have come to expect from the series.
In India, anticipation for the movie has reached a fever pitch, as fans eagerly await the release of the action-thriller. As the release date approaches, fans have been organizing pre-release events, such as flash mobs and fan meets, across the country to celebrate the release. Online ticket sales have been breakneck, with many shows selling out within hours of becoming available.
The reason why is hardly a secret. Shah Rukh Khan, also known as SRK, is a Bollywood actor and producer who has been active in the Indian film industry for over three decades. He is one of the most popular and successful actors in Bollywood, and is often referred to as the "King of Bollywood" or the "Bollywood Tom Cruise." SRK has starred in over 80 Bollywood films and has won numerous awards for his performances, including 14 Filmfare Awards. And on top of all that, he’s been away from the silver screen for five whole years.
On top of the excitement around SRK, the film is directed by Siddharth Anand, who previously directed War, and who proves once again that he is a master of the action genre. Like War, Pathaan is part of the YRF Spy Movie Universe, an ongoing shared cinematic universe which has kept audiences on the edge of their seats for over a decade. The movies have been praised for their high-octane action sequences, intense drama, and the touch of comedy that defines Bollywood movies.
