Pathaan": A Visual Treat with Impressive Action but Predictable Plot


"Pathaan," a highly anticipated Bollywood action thriller released on January 25th, 2023, has been garnering attention for its impressive box office earnings. Starring some of the biggest names in Bollywood, the film has made an impact with its high-octane action sequences. However, while the action is impressive, the story falls short of expectations, making the film a one-time watch for fans of the genre.

One of the highlights of "Pathaan" is its ensemble cast, featuring some of the biggest names in Bollywood. Shanoo Sharma, a renowned casting director, played a significant role in bringing this talented cast together. The movie stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, and Dimple Kapadia in the lead roles. Salman Khan, a popular Bollywood actor, also makes a cameo appearance in the film, reprising his role as Avinash Singh Rathore from the Tiger franchise.

The plot revolves around a group of spies who are on a mission to stop a terrorist attack in the heart of the city. Shah Rukh Khan plays the lead role of a spy who takes on the villain, portrayed by John Abraham, in a series of intense action scenes. The action sequences are indeed the highlight of the movie, with impressive stunts, choreography, and special effects that make for a visual treat.

However, despite the impressive action, the story falls short of my expectations. The plot feels predictable, lacking originality, and fails to match the same level of intensity as the action sequences. The movie's visual effects and sound design are well-done, providing a polished look to the movie. The cinematography and editing are excellent, capturing the action sequences in a way that makes them even more thrilling. The music, composed by a well-known music director, also adds to the overall feel of the movie.

"Pathaan" is worth watching for its thrilling action scenes and its star-studded cast. The impressive visual effects, sound design, and music also add to the overall feel of the movie. However, the story feels predictable and fails to engage me, making it a one-time watch for me as a fans of the genre. While "Pathaan" may not be the best action movie to come out of Bollywood, it is undoubtedly entertaining and worth a watch for its impressive action scenes and talented cast.

A Satirical Glimpse into Maldivian Politics

In my role as a cartoonist, I often explore the intersection of art and politics, using satire as a tool to comment on the complexities of Maldivian political life. This month, I've chosen a particularly striking piece as the 'Cartoon of the Month' that vividly captures the turbulent and sometimes chaotic nature of our political arena. This cartoon is not just a simple sketch; it's a nuanced reflection of the fervent debates and the occasionally unruly atmosphere within our legislative processes. The scene is set in a single, powerful frame: one lawmaker is shown in a dominant, almost aggressive stance over another, a stark contrast to the expected decorum of legislative conduct. This striking imagery, accompanied by the puzzled observer from our series being met with the ironic reply of "making laws," sharply critiques the current state of political affairs. Selecting this particular cartoon was a deliberate choice. It aims to provoke introspection about the
