20 Subtle References In Jawan You Didn't Notice! Even A True Cinephile Might Have Missed Some

There were so many subtle references in Jawan that you probably didn't notice. Even the sharpest and most seasoned cinephile or an ardent SRK buff wouldn't have realized the origin of these lines/scenes. How many did you get right?

Shah Rukh Khan has stopped giving interviews. He doesn't speak to the press directly. He instead hosts #AskSRK sessions on Twitter regularly to interact with his fans, and for other things, he uses cinema to speak his mind and talk about his politics. If you don't believe us, his latest film, Jawan, has proved just that!

Hidden messages in Jawan that you probably overlooked

There were so many subtle references in Jawan that you probably didn't notice. Even the sharpest and most seasoned cinephile or an ardent SRK buff wouldn't have realized the origin of these lines/scenes. How many did you get right? Scroll down and let us know in the comments section later.

1. Swades reference

In the film, Ridhi Dogra's character of SRK's adoptive mother is named Kaveri Amma. Did it ring a bell? It's a popular character from Ashutosh Gowariker's Swades. Played by Kishori Ballal, Kaveri Amma was again his non-biological mother in the 2004 movie as well.?

2. Reference to 2017 Gorakhpur hospital deaths

We all saw how our healthcare system nearly collapsed during the second wave of Covid-19. Taking a dig at that, Jawan references Gorakhpur hospital deaths in which?more than 60 children died of encephalitis due to government negligence in supplying oxygen. Dr Kafeel Khan had then tried to save the children by buying oxygen with his own money. He was hailed by the citizens, too. Still, later, he was charged with dereliction of duty and engaging in private practice by the government, leaving him bankrupt before finally getting acquitted in 2019. Sanya Malhotra's character, Dr. Eeram, who is wrongfully framed by the authorities to cover up a similar failure, will remind you of Dr. Kafeel Khan.

3. The Lion King reference

In the film, one of his partners calls him Mufasa and his son Simba. They are the popular characters from The Lion King. Interestingly,?Shah Rukh Khan has voiced the character of Mufasa in the Hindi version of Disney's The Lion King, while his son Aryan Khan has lent his voice to Simba.

4. Bhopal Gas tragedy reference?

Jawan references the Bhopal gas tragedy that killed thousands of people and wages war against anti-environment industrialists and their attempts to manipulate the government. SRK and his team get these factories shut.?

5. The Matrix reference

Twitter

The character of Kalee, played by South superstar Vijay Sethupathi, who people say can even sleepwalk over a villainous role and still ace it, always keeps two pills with him. The red one for himself helps him maintain his blood pressure, and a blue one for his enemies as it causes instant death. Was he channelling his inner Keanu Reeves?

6.?The Farmers' Suicide

Twitter

The film subtly addresses the issue of farmers' suicide, which remains a grave issue despite the repeal of the Farm Bills. In the movie, SRK emerges as the messiah who takes money from the rich and distributes it among the farmers facing harassment to repay the loans.

7.?Sameer?Wankhede reference

"Bete ko haath lagaane se pehle baap se baat kar" - the most punchy and seeti-maar dialogue from Jawan was a dig at Sameer Wakhende? He even mouthed the same dialogue in Dubai during Jawan celebrations, saying, "To all the parents here, bete ko haath lagane se pahle baap se baat kar (Before touching the son, talk to the father)". That was perhaps a reference to the Aryan Khan-NCB case.

8. Dil Toh Pagal Hai reference

Twitter

"Rahul, naam toh suna hoga?" This famous dialogue from Dil Toh Pagal Hai has been recreated as "Rathore.. Vikram Rathore...?Naam toh suna hoga?" and mouthed by the Badshah himself.

9. Arvind Kejriwal reference

Shah Rukh Khan's monologue, which has already become politician's favourite to take a dig at each other's parties, was a passionate appeal to everyone to exercise their vote responsibly. The AAP party is already claiming that before Shah Rukh Khan, Arvind Kejriwal delivered the same monologue.

10. The Money Heist reference?

The Azad-Narmada story is quite similar to that of The Professor and Raquel in Money Heist, who falls in love with the man in charge of the heist and is loyal to him after learning about his background.

11. The Bad Boy Billionaires reference

Twitter

The character played by Vijay Sethupathi will definitely remind you of the?Bad Boy Billionaires Subrata Roy, Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya and?Ramalinga Raju, the shrewd businessmen who secretly have an alliance with the government and capitalize on their favours to amass wealth at the expense of hardworking taxpayers.

12. The Nationalism reference?

Twitter

Kali, played by Sethupathy, is the fourth largest arms manufacturer in the world, yet he provided defective weapons to the army that led to the deaths of many Jawans. Kali, who is accused of being anti-national, uses his influence to turn the tables around and instead names Vikram anti-national.

13. Dhoom reference

Twitter

The chase scene before the climax, where Khan and his team are chasing the villains on their bikes before they split up, will remind you of the famous chase scene from Dhoom.?

14. Sholay reference

Twitter

The belt that Shah Rukh Khan wore in Jawan was similar to that Gabbar wore in Sholay.?

15. Kill Bill reference

Twitter

In Jawan's song Zinda Banda, the dancers wear the same costume Uma Thurman wore?in Kill Bill.?

16. Moon Knight reference

SRk's?bandaged look will remind you of?Marvel Superhero Moon Knight.

17. The Aparichit reference

SRK wears a mask that's similar to the one that Vikram wore in?Anniyan, aka?Aparichit.

18. The Dark Knight reference

A character in the film was seen wearing the same mask as Bane, a villain in the Christopher Nolan movie.

19. Khalnayak

Sanjay Dutt, who is making a special cameo appearance in the movie, makes an entry with the dialogue "Nayak Nahi Khalnayak Hoon Main".?

20. Baahubali

When Vikram is fighting Kali, he is interrupted by his right-hand man,?Murad, who is very tall. As Vikram sees him, he exclaims, "Baahubali". Not just this, the birth of Azad in the prison will also remind you of the iconic scene from SS Rajamouli's movie.?

How many references were you able to spot on your own in Jawan? Let us know in the comments section below.
