When having watched a movie, I always look if Baradwaj Rangan has reviewed the movie... he did with Jawan...
I think sometimes it is better to just enjoy a movie than to look for things to criticise just because one is a film critic. I don't know any of the movies he cited so getting ideas from other movies was not something that could turn me off...
Also the movie criticising power systems just with this actor and at this time had been nothing negative (or rehashing) to me, but I found it really cool that SRK spoke up this way...he was very clear in his statements and reactions...I liked his Robin Hood attitude.
I found the background stories rather emotion-stirring but that's not bad because life can be extremely unfair...trying to counter evil with intelligence and love, encouraging positivity is something in the movie I find praise-worthy.
I don't agree that there isn't a story (and a focus)...just another one than in Pathan and what needed to be shown has been shown...
There were situations which gave me a healthy laugh and the pregnancy scene did not come as a surprise to me (I only had expected it earlier as already the first teaser had given it away).
