'Pathaan' trailer is the butt of jokes, here's why

The trailer of the upcoming Bollywood film ‘Pathaan‘ was released and has become the butt of jokes because of its cringe visual effects and dialogues.

Watch ARY News live on live.arynews.tv

The trailer showed raw action between Khan as Pathaan, an agent of RAW, who ends his hiatus (just like the one in cinemas) and Abraham as a lethal antagonist set to launch an attack on India.

Pathaan is also offered to join forces with Padukone – who appears with her blonde wig – to take over the antagonist, in order to save ‘Bharat Maa’.

The official trailer clip, full of high-octane action features some stunning aerial sequences, power-packed stunts, the splendid lead trio, veteran actors Ashutosh Rana and Dimple Kapadia as pivotal supporting characters and much more.

As much as it thriller social media, many users could not stop laughing about what they it. Several users said it was a mashup of action sequences from Marvel Cinematic Universe films. They also found humour in absurd visual effects and dialogues.

A indian movie truly looking International with

Drawbacks of #PathaanTrailer

1) Nobody knows what they are watching
2) VFX are poor
3) Yellow grade is awful
4) Deepika
5) Jetpack scene is so awfully funny and childish
6) Srk looked good in songs but not in trailer
7) No emotions

Positives:

1) John’s personality #Pathaan

Every damn thing about the Pathaan trailer is cringeworthy bad and already done by the Race/Tiger Zinda Hai franchises but I know my social networks and friends will peer-pressure me into watching that.
I’m kidding I’ll just go rewatch actually good action like Top Gun instead.

everyone who was saying people are stupid to judge Pathaan as a bad movie on the basis of teasers and songs… the trailer is equally awful 😭😭🤣🤣🤣 looks like a skip and below average for sure.

#PathaanTrailer quick thoughts

1) VFX is straighup BADDD (idk why YRF insists upon doing its own VFX when red chillies is right there)
2) overly patriotic (abiding by the current political scenario)
3) @iamsrk kicks off the second leg off his career with a reinvented persona pic.twitter.com/hkZv1z9taH
