Karan Johar has given his verdict on Pathaan. He lauded the Shah Rukh Khan starrer movie and had strong words to say about Bollywood as a whole.
Karan Johar’s ‘Glamorizing’ review
2022 was not a particularly good year for Bollywood as several big-ticket films flunked and the industry faced criticism from all corners, especially when South Films were doing well. Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan opened to a roaring response at the box office on its opening day, January 25, giving the Hindi Cinema a reason to delight. Karan Johar has now reviewed Pathaan and given a shout-out to the film and Bollywood in general.
On Wednesday Karan Johar hailed the team behind Pathaan and called the film the ‘biggest blockbuster’. His post on Instagram read: “I don’t remember when I last had such a fun time at the movies!!!!

The charm, charisma , superstardom, desirability and sheer brilliance of @iamsrk … the hottest , beautiful and sensationally gorgeous agent you will ever find @deepikapadukone the sexiest and most desirable villain @thejohnabraham!!!

Love you bhai @iamsrk !!! Love you Adi! And love you BOLLYWOOD! You may have been slandered and “boycotted” but no one can deny that when you come into your own no one can stand in your way!
