Across India, the followers had been noticed celebrating the discharge by bursting crackers and dancing to the dhol beats. Take a have a look at the movies from Mumbai and Kolkata under:

Saibal Chatterjee, in his review for NDTV, wrote, “The most striking aspect of Pathaan, a masala entertainer at heart, is that it has the gumption to go beyond the parameters of a massy movie and produce sharp, insightful moments that serve as a commentary on pressing issues of the day. It is far more about humanity than about shallow patriotism, which, coming at a time when the Mumbai movie industry thrives on the othering and demonising of communities to further a dominant political narrative, is an act of courage that deserves to be celebrated.”
