Can our 'Action Hero'es and 'Pathaan’s become our feminist icons?

We’ve spent this entire week gushing over the return of our nation’s heartthrob and superstar Shah Rukh Khan in Pathaan. Hotter, cooler and better than before, if that were possible, he has set a billion hearts and the box office on fire! This was commensurate with the riveting An Action Hero dropping on Netflix with our favourite Ayushmann Khurrana, who is always such a delight on screen, in each and every avatar. It was good to see the #BoycottBollywood gang being hushed as the films, in their own way, took on not only the underdog that Hindi cinema is today but also the social media obsession with maligning the industry. Both films are intelligent and on point. Because when a message needs to be delivered, in an engaging and entertaining fashion, is there really a medium better than Bollywood?

Mehemaan nawaazi ke liye #Pathaan aa raha hai, aur pataakhen bhi saath laa raha hai!
