Hideo Kojima’s Enthusiastic Endorsement of SRK’s Pathaan
The Japanese game designer Hideo Kojima, who previously led accolades for SRK’s Pathaan, also posted the movie’s image.
Kojima had described the movie as pure pleasure. He tweeted about Pathaan in September 2023, writing, “Too busy these days, mentally and physically exhausted.” I have to fill up my high-octane fuel tank. I went to see the Indian film “PATHAAN” in an IMAX theater. All in all, it was fantastic! I felt completely numb! My blood vessels were opened by it! The energy level was MAD MAX! I believe I can hold it for a while after viewing this! John Woo, RRR, 007, Mission Impossible—the entire shebang! A couple Metal Gear components as well! A round of applause followed the screening. Strongly advised!”
You’re losing out if you don’t see it! These days, movies overthink things. This movie is just for fun! Watch this movie to escape the summer heat—it’s still hot! When the BD comes out, I’ll buy it, and I also want the OST,” Kojima had previously stated.
