5 epic moments from Pathaan that made Shah Rukh Khan’s movie a hit:

1. Shah Rukh Khan’s first glimpse on the big screen

After a break of five years from his career, Shah Rukh Khan came back to the silver screen with Pathaan. The eagerness of his fans to see their beloved star on the big screen was palpable as they rushed to cinemas and stood in long lines for hours to secure the first-day, first-show tickets for this blockbuster film. Consequently, when SRK graced the 70 mm screen for the first time, he was greeted with a roaring applause that truly reflected his worth.

2. Nandini and her team’s emotional sacrifice for the country

Pathaan and his crew reached the Indian Institute of Infectious Diseases (IICD). The moment Jim disclosed that a lethal virus had inexplicably escaped from his lab, they were taken aback with worry. To prevent the virus from spreading any further, Nandini, played by Dimple Kapadia, and her colleagues bravely opted to sacrifice themselves for the good of the country.

Before they died, she implored Pathaan to avenge their sacrifice by bringing the villain to justice. In a touching instance, the hero honored Nandini and her comrades for their exceptional bravery, acknowledging them as genuine national heroes. This emotional scene stirred feelings of deep respect in many viewers, inspiring them with pride over the team’s valor.

3. Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham locking horns

In one of the thrilling sequences set in Dubai, where Jim assaults the researchers, Pathaan swiftly intervenes to save them. This pulse-pounding chase across Dubai’s bustling streets kept viewers on the edge of their seats. It was no secret that John Abraham portrayed the villainous character, Jim, in the movie. But when he took off his helmet and unveiled his face for the first time, the crowd erupted with excitement, shouting and cheering.

The pursuit didn’t stop when Pathaan’s vehicle exploded. Instead, it transformed into a battle atop a Hummer, followed by action on a speeding truck. This thrilling series of events is still considered among the most awe-inspiring sequences in the film.

4. Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s romantic reunion

In the film, after Pathaan (character) saved Rubina (actress Deepika Padukone), he asked her the reason behind his rescue. Instead of skipping the chance, she playfully complimented his looks and made him blush with her flirting. This flirtatious exchange left the audience amazed. The electrifying dance-off between them in the song Besharam Rang was another thrilling moment in the movie.

5. Salman Khan’s cameo appearance as Tiger

Leaving Salman Khan’s electrifying portrayal of Tiger out of this list would be like missing an essential ingredient. As soon as bhaijaan made his entrance, the crowd erupted with excitement. It’s also worth noting that their thrilling performance on a moving train was the climactic point of the action-thriller. Tiger saving Pathaan was a decisive move that significantly advanced SRK’s character in revealing Rubina and her deceitful plot.
