Review: Ek Tha Tiger


No Patriotism, Only Actionism for Lovism., Rating : * * & 1/2, Director : Kabir Khan, Producer : Aditya Chopra (Yash Raj Banner), Cast : Salman Khan, Kaitrina Kaif, Ranvir Shorey., Music by : Sohil Sen & Sajid-Wajid, Cinematography : Aseem Mishra, Released Date : 15th August 2012. What it is : A Boy & Girl meets, love, run, action and again meet. The movie is that's it. Yes People, if you think EK Tha Tiger is a Patriotic movie as it released on our Independence Day, you are absolutely wrong. The movie has nothing to do with patriotism. Yashraj has chosen the Day only to cash the occasion. If you are Hardcore Salman's Dabangg style's fan, it is quite worth for you but unlike his last Blockbusters, the movie doesn't give you the same happiness. Story : Tiger (Salman Khan) is a Spy of India's RAW agency who always be on different missions for his country. He is a very honest & a dedicated Officer until he meets his love interest Zoya (Katrina Kaif) on one of his Mission. Tiger was assigned a duty to observe a suspected Scientist who according to Raw, sharing Anti-Missile techniques to Pakistan. Tiger meets Scientist as a Writer through the help of Zoya who works as a caretaker of Scientist. Tiger & Zoya falls in love with each other but their love story takes a turn when both got to know that they belongs to same profession. Zoya is too an Agent who works for ISI (Pakistan's Intelligence agency). Both decides to run away from everything and makes their own world but RAW & ISI doesn't let it go smoothly for them. Rest of the story is all Dhishum - Dhishum (action) of Tiger to make his love story successful. Star Performance : Salman is at his best for Action, and Katrina is the same beautifully Dumb. Katrinal's appearance doesn't suits for the action scenes she performed. Salman & Katrina's chemistry is nothing to talk about much. Ranvir Shorey who played Tiger's trustworthy colleague, is average. Except Salman & Katrina other characters are just forgettable or they are in the film just to increase the character’s list. Music : The music is not one to remember after you leave the theater premise. It is absolutely not what is expected from Yashraj movies. Well the background score and special effects music is awesome. Final Verdict : This time too Salman has ran on Train with the only exception it’s not a local train, this time it was a Foreign Modern train runs on the public roads. The Action has full of Hollywood impact considering cashing Salman's plus point. Screenplay & script is fine but it’s very much predictable. Although the movie is full of action yet many places makes you feel it’s slow. After the interval Film takes some speed but again the speed remains with the action only. The Locations & Action are the USP of films including Salman – Katrina factor. Same as Kabool Express, the Director Kabir Khan has failed on proper execution of the story. At the point of time you feel it’s interesting . . . what will be next, at the same time you see what you have predicted in your mind. Well, when its Salman Khan's pure action film with Yashraj Banner, 70% people doesn't really require Review. The movie is most hyped and much awaited for the year which definitely makes profitable for Yashraj. Watch it or Not : If you are an Action freak especially for typical Salman's style you can definitely go for Ek Tha Tiger, but if you expecting fun, joy like Dabangg, Ready and his other blockbusters this one is not worth to watch with popcorn & Samosaz in theaters. Source: Page3***
