The action-packed comedy Pathaan, which starred Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham in the key roles, was released in theatres on January 25. It became one of the highest-grossing films in Indian cinema history, making more than Rs 1000 crore at the international box office.
The Siddharth Anand-directed film eventually had an OTT premiere on Amazon Prime Video on March 22 after nearly two months. Four brand-new sequences that were cut from the theatrical version of Pathaan were included in the OTT version. These scenes include one with Dimple Kapadia on a plane, one with SRK’s character being tortured in a Russian jail, one with Shah Rukh rejoining the elite unit JOCR (Joint Operations and Covert Research), and one with Dimple Kapadia on a flight, and a scene of Deepika Padukone being interrogated.

One fan wrote, “That scene when Pathaan comes back to JOCR was bloody good. Don’t know why it was deleted. Also, them working out a plan to infiltrate Jim’s lab. Would have added weight to the entire lab scene”. Another tweeted, “Really happy #PathaanOnPrime. Bt a bit upset coz, I watched this move in the theatre with a few deleted scenes. I wish they hadn’t edited those scenes that are on Prime now, we would have enjoyed it more. All the best #Pathaan team. God bless.”
“@iamsrk bhai deleted scenes ke sath fir se release kardo theater me (Please release the movie again in theatres with deleted scenes)”, read another tweet from a fan, while one more wrote, “Good morning to those who slept well after watching Pathaan & those who will make their day fabulous today by watching #PathaanOnPrime. Except for that idiot editor who cut the entry of Pathaan in the RAW centre with an amazing BGM.”
