and his action catalogue is ripe for a no-nonsense binge this week. Here’s a lean, platform-ready watchlist that maps how he built an all-muscle, minimal-chatter legacy on screen.

Dhoom (2004) - the switch-on

As biker-gang mastermind Kabir, John detonated the antihero template - sleek robberies, sharper riding, zero apologies. It’s an easy first stop, and available to stream in India on Netflix and via Apple TV rentals if you prefer to own your thrills.

Attack: Part 1 (2022) - the sci‑fi swerve

John didn’t just front this one; he also originated the story of India’s “first super‑soldier,” folding in slick VFX and bruiser set‑pieces without losing pace. Cue it up on ZEE5; JustWatch also lists it there if you’re hunting availability across devices or plans.

Rocky Handsome (2016) - clean, mean, rescue machine

A reclusive pawnshop owner goes full storm‑mode when a child is taken, and the knife work is as clinical as his silences. You can stream it on Netflix in India; SonyLIV has also carried it with ads, handy if you’re cutting subscriptions this month.

Pathaan (2023) - villain era, unlocked

As Jim, John brings an ice-cool, gym-cut menace that matches SRK blow-for-blow - the rare antagonist you almost root for, then think better of it. It’s streaming on Amazon Prime Video in India, and was among the year’s most-watched titles on local OTT charts after arriving there.

Dishoom (2016) - buddy-cop blast

Two mismatched officers, a ticking clock, and a kidnapped cricket ace; the banter zips and the stunts land with a thud you can feel in your couch springs. Several ad‑supported channels on YouTube (like Mzaalo’s official handles) host the title, which makes for a free, legal pit‑stop between heavier fare.

Quick queue guide

• Netflix: Dhoom; Rocky Handsome.
• ZEE5: Attack: Part 1.
• Prime Video: Pathaan.
• YouTube (official, ad‑supported): Dishoom on Mzaalo channels.

At 53, John’s still the guy directors call when they want bone-crunching action with minimum fuss - and as long as he keeps sprinting, audiences will happily keep chasing. Wishing a Very Happy Birthday to you, John!
