“Jawan” marks the return of Shah Rukh Khan, and this time he’s embracing his action hero persona with gusto. No longer confined to the romantic Raj or Rahul roles, Khan immerses himself in Atlee’s ambitious action drama, and the result is a rollercoaster ride that showcases his immense star power.
At the heart of the film is Khan’s character, a masked vigilante who moonlights as a jailer, Captain Vikram Rathod, and a patriot on a mission to accelerate societal change.
