Former R&AW chief Vikram Sood’s criticism of Shah Rukh Khan’s movie “Pathaan” is gaining attention on Reddit. In this article, we explore Sood’s views and the reaction from Redditors.
Background
Shah Rukh Khan’s movie “Pathaan” was a blockbuster, solidifying his position as Bollywood’s superstar. The film, released earlier this year, features Khan as a R&AW agent and Deepika Padukone as an ISI spy. Although the movie achieved great success at the domestic and global box office, former R&AW chief Varun Sood recently criticized its lack of realism.
Sood’s Criticism
In a clip from an interview on The Ranveer Show, former R&AW chief Vikram Sood expressed his opinion on “Pathaan.” Sood stated that the film failed to achieve realism and compared it to James Bond movies, which he also finds unrealistic. He specifically mentioned the storyline involving the ISI girl and the R&AW agent living happily ever after, calling for a break from such narratives. Sood declared that he had not watched “Pathaan” and had no intention of doing so, as he believed it did not accurately depict the reality.
Redditors’ Reactions
Redditors responded to Vikram Sood’s comments with sarcasm, expressing their agreement that movies like “Pathaan,” as well as those featuring characters like Tiger (referring to the “Ek Tha Tiger” franchise) and James Bond, are not realistic. Some Redditors expressed surprise at Sood’s comments, while others humorously referenced real-life Colonel Luthra.
Former R&AW chief Vikram Sood’s criticism of Shah Rukh Khan’s “Pathaan” has generated discussion on Reddit. While the movie enjoyed commercial success, Sood found it lacking in realism. Redditors echoed this sentiment, acknowledging the unrealistic nature of such films.
