Desperate 'SRKians' Are Sharing Old, Unrelated Visuals To Claim Houseful Shows Of Pathaan
A cinema hall in Tamil Nadu called out a user for calling the audience for film Varisu as that for Pathaan
Bollywood people might not be as good at brewing a new idea for their movies (as they mostly copy it) but are surely good at cooking up stories of their success.
Recently, the alleged ‘King’ of Bollywood returned to the big screen after four long years with a movie named ‘Pathaan’. Even before it was released, his fan army and the PR team started calling it a ‘Blockbuster’.
Now, they are using old and unrelated visuals to claim that theatres are packed and shows are going houseful everywhere.
This user shared an old picture related to a Tamil movie to claim how packed cinema halls in Southern India (where there are fewer Hindi-speaking cine-goers) were for ‘Pathaan’. The claim went quite viral, until the owner of the hall called them out with the truth.

Here’s another one where desperate fans of SRK showed an old video to claim that people are standing in a long queue to watch ‘Pathaan’ in Haridwar. It turned out that the video was from Trivandrum in Kerala and is from last year when large crowds gathered at a mall for sale.

‘SRK’ fans are also sharing a video of FIFA World Cup in Qatar to claim massive crowds for Pathaan film in United Arab Emirates.

It is the same everywhere.
Only paid PR is hyping the vulgar pro-Pak pro-ISI propaganda film that shows a Hindu doctor creating a virus to destroy the world.
Is it a jibe at India's vaccination success? https://t.co/b6JjATwhVT
What has raised suspicions further is that IMBD has blocked the section of reviews for the film.
#Pathaan can't be rated on IMDB for obvious reasons https://t.co/lnDMm35z5W
The show they booked in bulk is also not full. Empty seats all over. https://t.co/zMz9jm8s0J

#Pathaan is a bad film. Full of copied scenes, copied music, bad dialogs, cheap CGI, cliche plot, and cheapness written all over.
Only paid critics, tukde brigade and mandabuddhis will claim it is blockbuster item. https://t.co/pwm08U4UE2
#Pathaan house fool ? https://t.co/aDFPntr6JO
They should have used ChatGPT to at least change the words of paid reviews. https://t.co/MKzl11mWoJ
Sabko free ticket. That is how you make kachra blockbuster in #Urduwood
Angrezi me aise hi Money Laundering hota hai https://t.co/bi9WiSJ57X
Estimates are that they have spent 50-75 crore on PR extra due to #BoycottPathaanMovie movement.
On that they would self buy 50-100 cr worth tickets.
Means there is no way film can break even. They will just spend money to prove Hinduism lovers wrong. https://t.co/WRic1bw5wo
Self-booking in bulk.
SRK films always see this trend of one vishesh person booking entire hall. https://t.co/BAuSS7dLZx
We can't stop anyone from watching #BollywoodKiGandagi
We can only pity our loved family members. Because it is damaging their brains and future generation. Through ghatiya content and funding.
Let's see how long it takes to eradicate polio of brain. https://t.co/orc6ANQyUO
