Deepanjana Pal | Film Companion: n/a ⇨ 3/5
Although it does rely heavily on Khan’s heroic abilities and gets tiresome towards the end, Pathaan is as entertaining as it is because Abraham and Padukone are fun to watch as the cruel mercenary and the devious spy respectively ... Full Review
Prathyush Parasuraman | Film Companion: n/a ⇨ 3/5
The edge of a seat is the part which will never be graced by a bum’s imprint through the film. But that might be fine, because the deepest imprint the film wanted to have was in our hearts. And that, it did ... Full Review
Komal Nahta | Film Information: n/a ⇨ 4.5/5

BLOCKBUSTER. #Pathaan has it all: Star power, style, scale, songs, soul, substance and surprises… And, most importantly, #SRK, who’s back with a vengeance… Will be the first #Blockbuster of 2023 ... Full Review
Umesh Punwani | Koimoi: 3/5
Shah Rukh Khan brings back ‘mass’ to ‘massala entertainment’ and he’s definitely one of the most charismatic 57-year-olds you’d witness on screen today. Just like Hrithik Roshan did with War, he carries the weak story of the film with his alluring aura. I wish he could’ve gotten better dialogues though ... Full Review
India Today: 3.5/5
Pathaan is unapologetically fun. It isn’t trying to send a public service message or pass commentary on the current state of affairs. Instead, it sets the clock back to a time when a Shah Rukh Khan film at the cinemas was a moment to rejoice ... Full Review
Sukanya Verma | Rediff: 4/5
Shah Rukh Khan's weathered intensity, grizzly charisma and trademark wit lends Pathaan's all-out, devil-may-care antics a sense of purpose that evades mindless acts of mayhem ... Full Review

Uday Bhatia | Live Mint: n/a ⇨ 3/5
While weapons of various sizes are bandied about, the movie’s greatest blaster is its hero itself, parleying his well-oiled impishness, time-tested charm and mesmeric screen presence for a cheesy but also entertaining save-the-nation exercise ... Full Review
Free Press Journal: 3/5
Shah Rukh Khan is back with his tested charm in this run-of-the-mill spy film with less jingoism ... Full Review
Deccan Herald: 2.5/5
Shah Rukh, with his trademark wit and undying energy, tries his best to entertain. He does more to the script than the script does to him. The writing, marked with no freshness, panders to the patriotic card. ... Full Review
ABP Live: 3/5
Shah Rukh Khan is back King-style in this action-entertainer. Thankfully, the brooding spy hero gets a makeover with the charm and charisma only a megastar like SRK carries. Shah Rukh Khan has the suave, style, and substance of a spy hero, only he does it even better ... Full Review
Gulte: 3/5
Pathaan is a film with no great writing. But the film is stylishly made with several forced sequences to make it visually appealing for masses. With all masala ingredients, Pathaan is a Paisa Vasool film made for action aficionados and SRK’s fans. Keep your expectations low on spy elements ... Full Review
Great Andhra: 2.75/5 ⇨ 3/5
All in all, watch "Pathaan" for Shah Rukh Khan's charm and a few stunning moments, but don't expect much from it. It's neither great nor a total letdown. However, in the theatre, the film provides a decent amount of enjoyable entertainment ... Full Review
India TV: 3.5/5
Pathaan is a must-watch if you are looking for a classic Bollywood adventure movie. There is no denying that the Shah Rukh Khan starter will make you leave the cinema halls with a smile and no disappointments ... Full Review
Financial Express: 3/5 ⇨ 2.5/5
The credit for the film should go to Shah Rukh Khan and his massive fan following, other than that, Pathaan has a weak plot, cliché, and at times cheap dialogues, and gravity and logic-defying illogical scenes ... Full Review

Khaleej Times: 3.5/5
But what elevates it from being just another over-the-top, spy thriller where the action scenes are better choreographed than the plot line, is the presence of Khan alongside an extended cameo by another superstar ... Full Review
Mirchi9: 2.75/5 ⇨ 3/5
Pathaan is a formulaic spy action thriller, but one that also manages to engage simultaneously. The action set pieces, and star presence does the needful. If you like larger-than-life action spectacles, even if predictable, give it a try, and that too on the big screen ... Full Review
Bollywood Life: 3.5/5
Pathaan is one of the best action films made in India. It is a visual treat. Shah Rukh Khan proves yet again why he is king. His commitment to his craft and audience will make you Jhoom in the theatres and how ... Full Review
PinkVilla: 3.5/5

The News Minute: 3.5/5
The Badshah is back in a shallow yet riveting action flick. With every instalment, the franchise has decisively moved towards amplifying the high octane action and keeping the romance as an attractive mantelpiece. That’s not necessarily a bad thing if done well, and Pathaan more than delivers on that front ... Full Review
