PATHAAN 2023 NEW HINDI MOVIE FULL
Pathaan is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films.[4] The fourth installment in the YRF Spy Universe, it stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham, alongside Dimple Kapadia and Ashutosh Rana. Written by Shridhar Raghavan and Abbas Tyrewala from a story by Anand, the film is about Pathaan, an exiled RAW agent, who must work with ISI agent Rubina to take down Jim, a former RAW agent-turned-traitor, who is planning to spread a deadly lab-generated virus across India.
Principal photography for Pathaan began in November 2020 in Mumbai. The film was shot in various locations in India, Afghanistan, Spain, UAE, Turkey, Russia, Italy and France. Two songs were composed by the duo Vishal–Shekhar, while Sanchit Balhara and Ankit Balhara provided the score. The music video of one song, "Besharam Rang", featured Padukone in a saffron bikini, which led to protests by right-wing Hindutva groups and an attempt to boycott the film; however, the Central Board of Film Certification cleared the film for exhibition after certain edits were made to the song sequence. The film was made on an estimated production budget of ₹225 crore (US$28 million) with a further ₹15 crore (US$1.9 million) spent on print and advertising.[2] Against the norm, pre-release publicity was limited with no media interactions or public events.
Pathaan was released in India on 25 January 2023, coinciding with the Republic Day weekend, in IMAX, 4DX, and standard formats along with dubbed versions in Tamil and Telugu.[5][6] It received positive reviews from critics and broke several Indian box-office records, including the biggest opening day and opening weekend for a Hindi film.[7][8] Further opening records were set in overseas markets.[9] Grossing ₹919.02 crores (US$120 million) worldwide, Pathaan ranks as the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2023, the fourth-highest-grossing Hindi film, and the seventh-highest-grossing Indian film of all time, as well as the highest-grossing of Khan's career and Yash Raj Films' releases.[10]
STORYLINE
In 2019, the Indian Government revoked Article 370, which grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The news impacts a cancer-ridden Pakistani army general, Qadir, who decides to exact vengeance against India. He signs a contract with Jim, who leads "Outfit X", a private terrorist organization. Meanwhile, Pathaan, a former RAW agent, and his senior officer Nandini opened a unit dubbed, "Joint Operation and Covert Research" (JOCR), recruiting agents who were forced to retire due to trauma or injury.
With RAW joint secretary, Colonel Sunil Luthra's acceptance, Pathaan and his team head to Dubai to stop Outfit X's plans of attacking the President of India at a scientific conference. However, they realize that their plan was to kidnap two scientists. Jim attacks the scientists' convoy and Pathaan tries to stop him. A fight ensues, and Jim manages to escape with one of the scientists. Luthra reveals that Jim was a former RAW agent and Kabir's partner, who was awarded the Vir Chakra for his bravery, after the agency could not find his body when Somalian terrorists killed his wife and unborn child, in a negotiation gone wrong. He had apparently faked his death to seek vengeance against the agency and country for not saving his family.
Meanwhile, Pathaan learns about the codeword dubbed "Raktbeej" and also that the dead people in Dubai were ex-agents and their money was transferred from the account of Rubina Mohsin, a Pakistani doctor in Spain. He travels to Spain and is captured by Jim's men, where he learns that Rubina is an ex-ISI agent. When Jim leaves his hideout, Rubina attacks Jim's men and escapes with Pathaan. Rubina reveals that Raktbeej is in Moscow, where they travel to steal it before Jim does. However, Rubina betrays Pathaan and has him captured by the police. It is revealed that Jim used Rubina to make Pathaan steal the Raktbeej for himself. Pathaan is captured and taken to prison, by train, but is saved by Tiger.
Three years later, Pathaan travels to Africa and captures Jim's henchman, Raafe. He meets Nandini and reveals about Jim purchasing two saber missiles, while Nandini reveals Rubina's location in Paris. Pathaan meets Rubina, who reveals that the Raktbeej is a smallpox-designed mutated deadly virus, made by the scientist Jim captured. She also expresses guilt about betraying Pathaan without knowing that her country would plan such an attack. They travel to Jim's lab in Siberia and recover one orb containing the virus, while Jim escapes with the other. Pathaan and his team head to a lab to prepare a vaccine for the virus.
Jim calls them and reveals that the orb has already spread the virus in the lab. The infected scientists, along with Nandini, die in the lab by shooting themselves, and the lab is destroyed in a controlled blast to prevent the spread of the virus. Jim provides an ultimatum to evacuate Indian soldiers out of Kashmir within 24 hours. Pathaan interrogates Raafe about the location of the missile and learns that the missile is situated in Afghanistan, by luring Jim's soldiers into a trap, Pathaan and his team attack Jim's base where Qadir is killed by Rubina before activating the missile, containing the virus. Pathaan chases after Jim with a jetpack, and they both crash land into a cabin overlooking a cliff.
Meanwhile, Rubina deactivates the missile, but finds that Raktbeej is not in the missile, but instead in a passenger-bound airplane, which is about to land in Delhi. She informs Pathaan, who finds that Jim has the detonator. Luthra calls the air traffic control to prevent the plane from landing in Delhi. In the cabin, Pathaan and Jim fight, as the cabin begins sliding off the cliff. Despite getting stabbed by Jim, Pathaan steals the detonator, deactivates Raktbeej, and throws Jim out of the cabin, resulting in his apparent death. Afterward, Pathaan is reinstated into RAW and made as the head of JOCR, by Luthra, while Nandini is posthumously awarded for her bravery.
In a mid-credits scene, Pathaan and Tiger are seen pondering about retiring and suggesting young agents who can replace them, but eventually, decide to keep fighting the threats themselves.
