Pathaan
Scored from 429 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2020s (7,930 peers).
Summary
A RAW agent code-named Pathaan is assigned a covert mission to stop a terrorist threat and prevent a major attack. The operation becomes complex as he navigates international espionage and confronts powerful adversaries determined to destabilize the region.
Pathaan is a 2023 action and thriller film directed by Siddharth Anand. Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham head the billed cast. It was made in India, in Hindi. It runs 2h 26m.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,929 2020s films, not against the whole corpus. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 61 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 429 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 485 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Pathaan lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2020s (7,930 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 429.
