The Internet Is Comparing ‘Citadel’ & ‘Pathaan’ & Y’Know What? We Get It

Recently, the internet has been comparing Amazon Prime’s Citadel with YRF’s Pathaan. Now before you get heated and think to yourself, ‘There is no comparison,’ let’s take a minute to consider the fact that both are espionage thrillers.

Not only this, but they both released 3 months apart, and have Indian lead actors. So the comparison doesn’t seem all that unreasonable.

Most people of course, took sides. While some think Citadel is better, others cannot get over the magic and grandeur of Pathaan. Also there seem to be some plot and scene similarities between the two.

Didn't imagine I'd say this ever
But Citadel is a longer, shinier and expensive version of Pathaan. #CitadelPrimeVideo #Citadelreview #PriyankaChopra pic.twitter.com/Vf7UivReOl

Priyanka Chopra in #Citadel was a much better spy than Shahrukh Khan in #Pathaan but alot of you arent ready to have that conversation. pic.twitter.com/FO5ohyAUva

Priyanka Chopra's action sequences 🙌🏼✨❤️ were the absolute best! Better than Madden's, I believe, better than SRK's or Salman's in Pathaan as well!

are you kidding? It’s like comparing a lion with a zebra! Dude, you can’t even compare Priyanka Ch with SRK! So stupid? They’re not the same league. Pathan was entertaining, massy, with some of the most well executed action scenes! Citadel is absolutely rubbish.
