Tiger Zinda Hai was one of the most highly anticipated movies of Salman Khan after the Tubelught debacle. The movie has already collected over Rs. 200 crore in box office collectons within a week of its release in India. Lets have a look at where the movie works and where it doesn't.
The movie has an ok first half with action oriented introduction scenes for both Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, which doesn't make much of a sense as we already know the characters from Ek Tha Tiger. The movie has a good premise but the way the script has been written makes it loose its intensity and runs like a regular movie. Even though you want to know what is going to happen next you are not engrossed enough in the movie. The second half of the movie is better and it has a lot of action sequences, some of which have been lifted from Hollywood sequences. One instance on why the movie is not well written is the Terminator shooting sequence where Salman Khan does not get hit even though many people are shooting at him. Scenes like these though make for great watching but make you question the detailing of the script. However the movie has good action sequences in the second half and if you are ready to ignore the details, then the movie is an entertaining watch.
Salman Khan as always plays the over the top action hero very well and Katrina looks superb in the movie and has performed some of the best action. Sajjad Delafruz as the villain, Abu Usman, is refreshing and looks and acts like a terror organisation leader. Paresh Rawal is good in the scenes that he has been given. All the other actors seem just like character fillers with not much of an identity.
Ali Abbas Zafar seems an good director but he lacks a clear vision of how the film should look. Thus even though he does a good job at directing the movie, he leaves a lot more to be desired for. The editing of this movie also could have been better as it does not have the crispness as it could have.
Overall the movie is entertaining for Salman fans but offers nothing new for the audience in general.
Rating - 3 / 5
