Tiger Zinda Hai

If you are ored then go watch the movie. one time watch.

Salman Khan never dissappoints at the box office. So is this a complete recipe for success?

So Tiger and Zoya has been absconded from their respective agenices. They fall in love and get married and settle in a cottage in the Austrian Alps. Unfortuantely their peaceful life goes into turmoil when they find out about 25 Indian nurses who were kidnapped by a terrorist organization in Iraq and are held hostage. How the Indian and Pakistani spy travel to Iraq and engage in the mission of rescuing the nurses is basically what this film is about.

The prequel despite its low rating, the film still became a hit minitng over 300+ crores. Honestly I did like the film for its entertaining masala flick but the sotry was something that made me cringe for some time. Quite to my surprise, this film is far better in terms of masala than Ek Tha Tiger which was the prequel.

Ali Abbas Zafar brought in Tom Struthers who used to design stunts for Nolan's films like Incpetion and Dark Knight Rises. His stunts in TZH were exactly the same and executed the way Nolan would want it to be. The editing was crisp and the looks of the Austrian Alps and Iraq made it watchable.

The writing is the weakest link in the movie and the reason behind that would be the way the trailer was released. I felt 60-70% of the film was already shown and mentioned in the trailer. The plot was too far fetched and the gripping elements were a bit too low. But the dialogues had some pizzaz and some humor was relatively funny.

As far as acting goes, Salman Khan hasn't dissappointed his fans and luckily for this film, his roar was even louder as Tiger. He was watchable thoughout the film and his charm and charisma really suited the audience. Kumud Mishra as the hacker was pretty decent. Angad Bedi plays Tiger's right hand man and seeing him in an action film really shocked me. Paresh Rawal was humorous throughout the film and he made me chuckle quite a bit in some parts. Girish Karnad as Shenoy is the usual so nothing there. Sajjad Delfarooz was outstanding as a baddie and his un-stoical mentality really adjusted the depth of the film. Katrina Kaif's acting was overacted of course. Her dialogues were too cheesy and bleak which made some scenes a snoozer. Only Struthers outdid her performance.

The music was composed by Vishal-Shekhar. The hughlight of the album has to be Dil Diyan Gallan if you're in a romantic mood. Feeling groovy, Swag se Swagat is a treat. Irshad Bhai has done a remarkable job with the lyrics and Vaibhavi's choreography is a treat.

The apcing is also a minor issue because I felt that the film finished too quicky and that is what the story did. The pace kept tripping and then after 2nd half the pace kept tripping even more hich resulted in the quick climax.

Overall, this film is decent but the writing and pacing takes it away but it is a mass masala entertainer prefect for a good weekend. Definitely a cinema watch but critics would defintiely save their money and watch the piece of the action on cable tv.

3/5- Bhai did it again!!!!

It's actually a great movie which keeps you connected.Good thriller movie which actually shows the dark side of our planet.

The only superstar remaining in hindi film industry is salman khan. His persona looks big on screen and he looks like a hero. No matter what he do his fans will accept him. So no comment on movie.. Strictly one time watch.

... here Sallu's screen wife does a double James Bond.

There is a Roger Moore's 360-degree spiral jump from The Man with Golden Gun and Sean Connery's Mustang passing through a narrow alley tilting on two wheels from Diamonds are Forever.

Do watch out for the car stunt in this movie which is inspired by the above mentioned Bond stunts.

I saw this for the first time in a theatre with my family on Christmas day, Dec 2017.

I was pleasantly surprised by the tons of action this movie has as i saw this without seeing its prequel.

Revisited it recently.

This film has tons of shootouts, bazookas, explosions n action but it has tons of melodrama n irritating slow motions too.

Katrina Kaif's fight sequence is nicely choreographed but i feel that its a body double with those kinda stunts.

Her lip job is quite visible.

Sallu takes on the Rambo gun and starts shooting at an army of people without taking cover n miraculously none of the bullet touches him.

But it was pure fun.

Some cons - It takes the kid to reach the car/wooden log few seconds while the father (Sallu) takes ample time, jumps here n there like Xander Cage, dodges the wolves n takes mins to reach the wooden log.

The slo mo is very irritating.

Sallu jumps from a height n lands on his feet. He doing parkour is hilarious. The Bollywood fellas need to see Adam Green's Frozen and the scene where the shin breaks after a vertical jump.

But nobody in Bollywood can pull off these action sequences n the swag like Sallu.

Can someone tell me how Sallu n Katrina survived the bomb strike.
