Ek Tha Tiger Review


Ek Tha Tiger.... Most anticipated film of the year. In news since the announcement and why not it has reasons.... First Salman-Yashraj film after more than two decades of debut of the actor…  Katrina Kaif paired with Salman after four years, last in Yuvvraaj… past record of director, producer, hero, heroine.... There are many more facts that the film have and it carries a lots of expectation due to this.... So does the film really good and fullfill the expectations??

Ek Tha Tiger starts like other 'salman films' with an introductory fight-action sequence though there is no introductory song like 'Bodyguard','Hud Hud Dabangg' or 'Jalwa'. Film tells the story of a RAW agent code named 'Tiger' who hasn't take a single leave in past 12 years. His neighbours don't know anything about him.

Tiger sent on a mission where he has to keep an eye on a scientist of indian origin, in Dublin. There he meets his part time caretaker Zoya who is the only accessable person in professors house. To get entry he try to be friend with zoya and succeeds. But he starts to love her, than the film took twists on twists. She also loves tiger but can't express. So does they meet, how they meet its the whole second half.

Story of the movie is novel and simple. Written wonderfully by Aditya Chopra. Screenplay, by Neelesh Mishra and Kabeer Khan, do full justice with story. They don't leave any serious loopholes in the screenplay. Best part of screenplay is it switches fron scene to scene smoothly. All locations justify the screenplay. Action is like never seen before in Hindi Cinema, superb. cinemetography is wonderful, excellent and pleasent. Every location is shot wonderfully.  

When you have Salman Khan in a film you don't need to assume who is Tiger. Your mind take no time to convince why he is Tiger. Salman shows his acting skills as tiger, be it an action scene, a romantic scene or serious scene he is brilliant. Katrina sizzles as Zoya. Best act by her till date. She too rocks in action sequences. Chemistry betweem Salman and Katrina is surely a big plus point of the movie. In supporting characters Ranveer Shorey (Gopi),Girish Karnad (Shenoy), Roshan Seth (Scientist), Gavie Chahal (Abrar) are full rate.

Direction of Kabir Khan is excellent. The best thing he did is the perfect balance between love story and action scene and that never let you feel bored.

Music of the movie is wonderful but doesn't meet the expectation. Salman, Yashraj, Kabir and Sohail Sen all have set standard for themselves in their previous films. 'Banjara', 'Saiyara', 'Mashallah' are wonderful and 'Lapata' is ok. All songs shot wonderfully. Backgroung Score perhaps the biggest USP after Salman and action sequence, full rate. Backgroung score have an big competition from hooting and screaming of the audience.

Last words, you like the movie or not you will love the atmosphere inside the hall.  

Ratings: 4.5/5
Tiger... Tiger... Tiger.... Picture Achchi Hai
