Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible 7 copied scenes from Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan? Netizens thinks so
The official trailer of Mission: Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One released yesterday and it’s packed with scenes of Tom Cruise doing daring stunts. While it was a treat for fans of the franchise and action film lovers, a section of Netizens were convinced that some shots were copied from Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan. The train set sequence is especially being compared to Pathaan’s scene which features Shah Rukh Khan as well as Salman Khan.
Netizens point out similar shots in Mission Impossible 7 and Pathaan
A few Twitter users shared screenshots of the trailer of Mission: Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One, as well as Pathaan, to point out the similarities. The scene in which Tom Cruise hangs from a cliff, and the train crash scene reminded fans of Pathaan. One Twitter user wrote: “A few days ago I saw the whole of Twitter mocking the #Pathaan train scene just because it accidentally matched Jackie Chan cartoon. But now that #MissionImpossible also has similar action scenes, no one will say anything,” while another shared the screenshot of similar scenes in the two films and wrote, “Bollywood should be proud.”
Meanwhile, a user on Reddit shared a post on the page BollyBlindsNGossip, writing, “Lots of similar shots in Pathaan and Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One. But no one will troll MI for this.” However, on Reddit, many other users had conflicting opinions. A user commented on this and wrote: “Train falling off a bridge with people on top wasn’t invented by tom cruz or srk. it was an old stunt or action sequence.. it’s like saying ohh these two songs have the same scale.” Another user commented: “I’m sorry what?! I thought Pathaan was an Indian copy of all Mission Impossible films? The whole train sequence is a scene-for-scene remake of a Jackie Chan animation.”
Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham starrer Pathaan released in theaters on January 25, 2023. The film went on to become a box office hit, shattering a number of box office records.
