18th May 2023, Mumbai: Some viewers believe that the action scene in the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One trailer shows Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt emulating Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan. In addition, a Reddit user revealed additional images from the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One trailer that resemble scenes from the hugely successful Indian spy movie Pathaan, which came out in January of this year.
Tom Cruise’s multiple death-defying feats from the next sequel, such as being hanged from a cliff and sending a train flying and crashing, are best seen in the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One trailer, which debuted earlier this year. Particularly, the action-packed Pathaan scenes starring Tiger and Shah Rukh Khan on a railway set have drawn comparisons to those scenes.
Very similar scenes in Pathaan and Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, Bolly Blinds N Gossip noted in a post on Reddit on Wednesday. However, nobody will bash MI (Mission Impossible) for it. Redditors quickly responded to the assertion, with some making jokes about the’similar shots’ and others weighing in on the ‘the whole Bollywood versus Hollywood’ issue.
A person joked, “Chalo (okay) I will troll MI now (laughing emoji).” Another said, “So true! Scenes look similar no doubt!”
One added Jackie Chan to the mix, and wrote, “I am sorry what?! I thought Pathaan was a Indian copy of all Mission Impossible films? The entire train sequence is a scene-to-scene make of a Jackie Chan animation.” Another one agreed, “Oh look! Tom Cruise stole from Jackie Chan Adventures because the idea of a hero running in the opposite direction of a plummeting train is so original that only he geniuses behind the Jackie Chan Adventure could come up with it.”
One Redditor made a comparison between Pathaan, a Siddharth Anand film with Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh, and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. I hate to compare Hollywood and Bollywood, but the Mission Impossible series are pretty badass films’, she wrote. They’re so much fun! Great movement! great in every way I adore Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, but MI films are so awesome. They conduct some awesome espionage and bloody skydiving.”
The Covid-19 epidemic was one of the challenges that Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One faced since it was announced in early 2019. Filming was completed in September 2021. The eagerly anticipated premiere of Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One is scheduled for July.
In the most recent MI film, which was directed by Christopher McQuarrie, Tom Cruise and his IMF crew set off on what the synopsis describes as their most hazardous assignment to yet.
