Shah Rukh Khan's action thriller Jawan
Karan Johar may be late to the party but that didn't stop him from praising Shah Rukh Khan's new film Jawan. The filmmaker watched Jawan slightly later than most of his peers. Soon after watching, he penned a beautiful note about the film and said he was "blown away by the cinematic audacity of each frame."
Jawan released on September 7 and since then has been creating waves at the box office in terms of its earnings. Directed by Atlee, the film stars SRK along with Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, and others. The film also features Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Dutt in cameo roles.

Jawan review
WION's Shomini Sen in her review called the film a quintessential Bollywood blockbuster.
"Pathaan reiterated SRK's liberal stance and Jawaan brings forth the feminist side of the actor. Khan has been a vocal ally for women's empowerment for years. In Jawan, sure he plays a mentor of sorts to a bunch of wronged women, but the film celebrates strong women and their might to fight it out. All the female characters are projected as strong women who can take on a goon or two on their own and yet be maternal and soft when the time arises," writes Sen in herreview.
