don't care about hollywood westerners reviews...I found both Pathaan and Jawaan content average at best. yes they were entertainers, but didn't hit me hard. the women were wasted in jawaan; compare it to women in chak de india with shah..such impact! shah performed well in both movie, but nothing extraordinary. keeping fingers crossed for Dunki, i feel its the performance of shah that will be the highlight. Lets see.Originally posted by: Clochette
Briaahna, it is very clear that action movies aren't 'your' genre...and I guess, you're in good company with all those who love SRK in movies of other genres.
My knowledge of action movies isn't as vast as other genres, but if Hollywood-used Western reviewers and Hollywood action specialists laud Jawan the way they did and recommended the way action had been represented, I tend to believe them, especially when it wasn't SRK they focussed on.
I knew that, one day, SRK would try to fulfill his dream of doing out-and-out action movies - with giving them nevertheless his 'stamp of thinking' inside the story.
He did it...with Pathaan focussing on another subject than he did in Jawan.
I easily can do with the stylised violence, the logic-defying stunts and a ShahRukh made younger, that is cinematic entertainment belonging to what is made possible through technics nowadays.
But both movies have a content that has nothing to do with action...and that's the part I find magically put on screen.
As for SRK's performances...they are as nuanced as in movies named in lists here (but one may not notice with one watch).
