Apart from the original Hindi version, the film was also released in Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions.

WION's Shomini Sen gave a positive review of the film. She wrote, "Does 'Pathaan' work despite the flaws? Yes, because of Shah Rukh Khan and the image he has so carefully cultivated over all these years. His character is an orphan who has been raised in an orphanage and never had a religion to follow. He was named Pathaan by a family in Afghanistan which saved him during a covert operation. 'Pathaan' the film does not diss any religion but only the bad guys and makes SRK the superhero who places his country above all religious fanaticism. Pretty much similar to how Khan has projected himself all these years."
