2. In the beginning it's established that the main villains are Pakistan and ISI (yeah, got it. Then, surprise, surprise - it flips the narrative. )
3. India and indian agencies let him down big time so he obviously and justifiably turns anti-india and goes on a revenge trip. (Heroes are always justified, especially when they are played by SRK. On a similar note, Suneel Shetty had a similar role in Main Hu Na. There he was the villain and SRK preached him there can be no excuse to go against one's nation.)
4. So anyway, moving forward, our dashing and devasted hero is fighting his own nation who let his wife and child die. By this point, the main villains are shifted to somewhere else - yes, not Pakistan or ISI but India and RAW. How convenient! But we shouldn't bring that up to spoil this party. Teri bhi chup, meri bhi chup.๐
All I can say is I didn't expect any different from this film. Bollywood peddling lies and showcasing stories to satisfy their egos. My poor mind wonders why they could not bring a truly patriotic muslim story - that the Pathaan was working with RAW to bring down some American/British or even Pakistani plot. It's not like there are no patriotic muslims in India. And the movie will still be loved.
But no. The ultimate villain must be India. Jaise nadiya ki dhaara kahi se bhi bahke saagar mein milti hai, every narritive must end up in vilifying Indian police, government, army, basically everything Indian. That's the end goal. And the srk fans are too deluded to realize it.
So fingerfetish found one mistake in your post and made a lawl comment and called ur post a rant. ๐
How difficult it is to make a movie without vilifying anything Indian.. why can't they make a movie with pure terrorist from any enemy nation let's say Pakistan, that's where most terrorism come from in India.
Ab ye mat bolna Pakistan terrorist dikhaya to hai ๐ sath mai sympathy ke liye ISI agent supporting India bhi dikhaya hai.. out of imagination in real life.
