Atlee, who's known for his string of hit films, has faced criticism right from the start for drawing inspiration from other movies. People noticed that his stories often resembled those of earlier films, and some scenes even seemed similar to classics.

When he announced "Jawan" with Shah Rukh Khan, cinephiles were buzzing with curiosity. The teaser and trailer thrilled SRK's fans, but a few couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, feeling that it was a mix of various South Indian movies.

Despite the doubt, "Jawan" made a massive splash at the box office on day one, comfortably surpassing SRK's "Pathaan." The action-packed drama is poised to continue its winning streak, given the strong advance bookings in many areas. Nevertheless, Atlee still faces criticism from many cinephiles.

For some, it feels like Atlee has blended elements from "Kaththi," "Mersal," "Bigil," "Valimai," "Sarkar," "Sardar," and even "Money Heist" to create #Jawan. But they do appreciate the film's positive message, which strikes a chord with today's audience. 🤐
