1. Shahrukh Khan’s first glimpse on the big screen
After a career hiatus of five years, Shah Rukh Khan returned to the big screen with Pathan. His fans were so excited to see their superstar again on the big screen that they flocked to the cinema halls and waited for hours in the queue to get tickets for The Mass Entertainer, on the very first day, on the first day of the show. So, when SRK finally made his first appearance on 70mm, his fans gave him a well-deserved roaring welcome.
2. Emotional sacrifice of Nandini and her team for the country
Pathan and his team arrive at the Indian Institute of Contagious Diseases (IICD) and are immediately hit with concern when Jim reveals that a deadly virus had escaped from his laboratory. To stop the virus from spreading any further, Nandini, portrayed by Dimple Kapadia, and her team take the courageous decision to give their lives for the sake of the nation.
Before passing, he urges Pathan to seek vengeance for his sacrifice and ensure that justice is delivered against the villain. In a touching moment, the hero pays tribute to Nandini and her team for their extraordinary bravery, recognizing them as true national heroes. This heartfelt scene moved many spectators to tears, leaving them proud of the team’s heroism.
3. shahrukh khan and john abraham locking horns
In a scene where Jim attacks the scientists in Dubai, Pathan rushes in to save them. The high-octane chase through the streets of Dubai had hearts racing. It was already famous that John Abraham was playing the role of Jim, the antagonist, in the film. However, when he removed his helmet and revealed his face for the first time, the audience couldn’t help but hooting and cheering.
The chase did not end with the explosion of Pathan’s car. This escalated to a fight on the roof of a Hummer, then on a moving truck. The entire sequence was breathtaking and remains one of the most epic scenes of the film.
4. Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s romantic reunion
Remember when Rubina (played by Deepika Padukone) revealed that she needed Pathan’s help to get the Rakhat seeds? Well, after being saved from the surprise fight, Pathan asked him why he saved him. Rubina didn’t miss the opportunity to flirt with him, complimented his good looks and made the macho man blush. Their bubbly interactions definitely left the audience going ‘wow’. Her sizzling dance-off in the song Besharam Rang was another seeti-maav moment in the film.
5. Cameo appearance of Salman Khan as Tiger
This list is incomplete without mentioning the special appearance of Salman Khan as Tiger. The moment Bhaijaan graced the screen, the audience went berserk. Needless to say, his power-packed performance on a running train was the highlight of the action-thriller. Tiger rescuing Plateau was a game-changing move that further helped SRK’s character unmask Rubina and her cunning plan.
As Pathan completes 2 years of its release, these epic moments are sure to make you watch the movie again!
