Tiger Zinda Hai

wogma rating: Add to that never-watched 'To Watch' list (?)

quick review:

Why should Hollywood have all the fun? Even India and Pakistan can save the world. Especially since Tiger is alive. The regular action fare – nothing more than you expect but nothing less either.

Tiger Zinda Hai - Preview

The same ol’ collaboration between the intelligence bureaus of India and Pakistan. The same ol’ attempt at bringing the two nations towards each other. The same romance. From the trailer, it looks like Tiger Zinda Hai is only trying to cash in on the Salmania with as little effort in story-writing as is possible.

Just about everything is centered around making Salman Khan look cool. That 25 Indian nurses need to rescued is incidental. It is Salman who is rescuing them and that is all that matters. They haven’t even bothered to give him a signature line, let alone decent dialogue. The two voiceover lines and the single line that we see him mouth in the trailer – are all blatantly lame. You almost feel bad for Salman Khan trying to infuse them with meaning and/or energy.

Trying my best to find something to look forward to this Christmas. And failing.

Tiger Zinda Hai releases on 22 December, 2017.

Music Reviews:
koimoi – "3.5/5"
Milliblog - "This tiger is alive and kicking."

- meeta, a part of the audience

You don’t expect subtlety and you don’t get it. There is no humility here, Tiger Zinda Hai is about how Tiger aka Salman Khan attempts to save hostages, kill villains, love his family all while he patches up the relationship between India and Pakistan to promote world peace. When you go in wanting that, you walk out smiling because you knew exactly what was going to happen. In that sense, Tiger Zinda Hai is satisfying. Else, it is pretty much mundane.

They aren’t experimenting much with the genre by keeping it plain, simple and in line with expectations.

Salman Khan is himself and the rest are just props around him, including Katrina Kaif. Sure, she gets to throw a few kicks around and is quite slick about it too. But, ultimately Tiger Zinda Hai wears the Salman card so much on its sleeve that you don’t even want to spend energy in thinking, “Hey but, how did that happen?”

In fact, the most apparent show of cashing in on Salmania is that he is given some of the lamest lines ever. It is like the writers know that it doesn’t matter what he says, as long as he has the quintessential swagger about it - almost willingly mocking the fans. Especially when the lyricist has come up with decent lines like, “narazgi kagzi teri”1 or “Swag se karenge sabka swagat”2, you wonder why some of it couldn’t have seen its way to the dialogue.

The story does have the villain and the hero outsmart each other constantly but that comes across as going through the drill. The addition of humour and patriotism also look like adding salt and pepper to bring flavour rather than being germane to a plot. Very conveniently the motivation of the covert operation moves from saving lives to national pride to world peace to saving lives to national pride to world peace.

The humour is not in the jokes or situations as much as it is from the ridiculous concepts. The world’s most romantic 8-year old who is also the hero’s “I don’t care how you do it, just do it” boss, the national spy who also knows how to paint portraits on snow, the number of empty cars blown up, the amount of time the villain gang waits to shoot while the hero’s team does a panorama sweep with a machine gun – bring smirks rather than smiles.

Amidst this though, the biggest positive is that songs don’t interrupt the proceedings. To that extent things are taken seriously. Of course, the background music more than compensates by abruptly alternating between a romantic tune that is tempered down to be sad as required and a pulsating, thriller, Bond-esque tune.

Clearly, they aren’t experimenting much with the genre by keeping it plain, simple and in line with expectations. They do tread into the controversial territory of preaching sisterhood between India and Pakistan. While it is a noble thought with a lot of merit but the oversimplification fictionalises it a bit much.

The humour is not in the jokes or situations as much as it is from the ridiculous concepts.

Thumbs up, Bollywood Hungama : ...On the whole, TIGER ZINDA HAI is a high-octane masala entertainer that stays true to its genre and delivers what it promises: King-sized entertainment. At the box office, the audiences will give the film an epic ‘swagat’ as it is bound to entertain them thoroughly. This one is a SURE SHOT BLOCKBUSTER and nothing can stop it from setting new records. Get ready for the Tsunami at the Box Office. ... full review

Thumbs up, by Smita Vyas Kumar, Desi Martini : ...then also it is for you. I am not a big action fan so found it a bit heavy going and a bit too long. However, it can be a good movie to watch in a crowded theatre where the energy is infectious and can carry you along.... full review

Thumbs up, by Rachit Gupta, Filmfare : ...Director Ali Abbas Zafar has crafted a superb action movie with some pretty strong moments. The best of the lot deal with India and Pakistan rivalry and camaraderie. It's good to see an action film that slows down momentarily to show some insight. This one's definitely a smart watch. ... full review

Thumbs up, by Anish Mohanty, Kia Gia : ...Tiger Zinda Hai' is a hugely entertaining film in which the director has also tried to tell a story that could have been difficult to narrate in a standard commercial film. He blends in the authenticity of a well-researched espionage thriller and an escapist commercial fare in good proportions and delivers a solid entertainer.... full review

Thumbs up, by Umesh Punwani, koimoi : ...All hail Ali Abbas Zafar! When you’ve Salman Khan as your lead star with the backing of a studio like Yash Raj Films you tend to fantasize things making them larger than life. Ali, however, has stuck to basics and goes huge whenever it was needed in the story. Though he tries to infuse patriotism in the story, it was fine with me but still unclear how others will accept it.... full review

Thumbs up, by Kunal Guha, Mumbai Mirror : ...Indian spy thrillers have historically conjured up the kind of tense channelled in Pierce Brosnan's paan masala commercial. This one, excuse the pun, comes as a breath of fresh air.... full review

Thumbs up, by K K Rai Reena, STARDUST : ...Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif starrer Tiger Zinda Hai is a masala entertainer, aimed at masses, with blockbuster written all over it. The movie is going to compensate the audience for lack of entertainment in Tubelight. Go for it at least once in a theatre near you. Given the holiday season, the flick is going to witness a rich harvest at the box office. Overall above average fare!

Thumbs up, by Lasyapriya Sundaram, Times of India : ...With such a premise, the storyline needed to be far more compelling and the editing much tauter. Needless to add, a lot of sequences defy logic, but at the same time, there are many moments that will leave Salman Khan and action film fans impressed. ... full review

So-So, by Subhash K Jha, Bolly Spice : ...As for her chemistry with Salman, his eyes melt like a icrecream cone left out in the sun, each time she’s around. Will someone make an intense love story with the two?... full review

So-So, by Shubha Shetty Saha, Daily Bhaskar : ...Tiger (Salman Khan) is alive and literally kicking the ass in the second installment of the Tiger story. The Indian agent of the RAW of the 2012 film, Ek Tha Tiger is back, but rather reluctantly. Eight years later he’s happy fighting wolves in Austria with his son, Junior and Zoya (Katrina Kaif). For those uninitiated, Zoya is the Pakistani spy working for ISI that he had fallen in love with in the previous installment.... full review

So-So, by Johnson Thomas, Free Press Journal : ...Ali Abbas Zafar tries hard to make this augmented experience both racy and exciting, but all his tricks and treats are laid out in un-invigorating fashion. That might not be a hurdle for the fans though! ... full review

So-So, by T J Reddy, fullhyd.com : ...I repeat, this is Bhai's world and we are just living in it. To all of us who can find humour in the farcical nature of these films, this is a breezy weekend evening. But if you can't laugh with it or at it, you're in for a long fight with a very game Tiger that may see you end up right beside one of the wolves from the opening scene.... full review

So-So, by Manjusha Radhakrishnan, Gulf News : ...Watch this if you are in the mood to see a stoic, stone-faced swashbuckling superhero, aka Salman Khan, and some supremely well-executed action sequences. Don’t go looking for soul, though. ... full review

So-So, by Rohit Vats, Hindustan Times : ...There’s still some time to catch up with Hollywood, but Tiger Zinda Hai is probably the best a filmmaker could do with a superstar. Just wait for the moment when Salman Khan dodges the most dreaded criminals and their rocket launchers while riding a horse. ... full review

So-So, by Uday Bhatia, Live Mint : ...In that split second, one could only imagine the questions that ran through his mind. Can one cheer for a Pakistani flag? Is it a test? Would Bhai approve? The tension was palpable. Then, “Woohoo!” And so ended 2017... full review

So-So, by Jaidev Hemmady, Movie Talkies : ...I wouldn’t deny that ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ is an entertaining ride and Salman fans will have a great time watching their idol take off his shirt and display his muscled torso while bashing up bad guys. The action scenes are larger-than-life and would warm the heart of any action junkie. ... full review

So-So, by Raja Sen, NDTV : ...At one point in the film, Indian intelligence starts setting up genuinely fascinating contingency plans in case Tiger fails. These, unfortunately, are far more interesting than what Tiger does end up doing, which is basically to bring the biggest guns to a knife fight. Ah well. GI JaiHo. ... full review

So-So, by Rajeev Masand, News18.com : ...Tiger Zinda Hai is way too long at 2 hours and 41 minutes, but it packs some thrilling action and a beloved leading man presented in just the manner that the fans seem to want to see him.... full review

So-So, by Manisha Lakhe, Now Running.com : ...The action parts are great. No doubt about it. And thankfully there's little romance and fans can gasp at how cool he is, lifting Katrina over his shoulder and walks with one hand in his pocket. When the shirt comes off, though, you think people from Madame Tussauds have not been given enough credit. I'm a fan, and yet I know, it's time to stick to the singlet...... full review

Thumbs down, by Bardwaj Rangan, Blogical Conclusion, The New Sunday Express : ...ulius Packiam is the film’s hero. His background score is the equivalent of the electro-shock paddles that doctors on TV keep pressing on patients’ chests. But there’s only so much resuscitation one can do when faced with such a dearth of ideas... full review

Thumbs down, by Bobby Sing, Bobby Talks Cinema.com : ...In short, the film actually isn’t interested in telling you anything about what exactly happened with the group of Nurses in Iraq, brutally using them as a mere plot and nothing else. So in case you are really interested in knowing or watching a ‘not-to-be-missed’ gem showcasing the incident in a brilliant, outstanding manner then watch Malayalam film TAKE OFF at the earliest, available at the leading online portals with English Subtitles…… and do yourself a favour.... full review

Thumbs down, by Suhani Singh, india today : ...Tiger this time has a few good men at his disposal but Khan doesn't pass off as the most active and dangerous agent out there. In fact it's Zoya who comes across as the wonder woman, one present at the right place at the right time, doing all the hard work. As the 30-minute climax unfolds, a lot of it in slo-mo, Zafar has achieved the impossible. sex slaves have been freed, a child soldier is rescued, there's minimum casualty and ISC is no more. What's left? World peace? Which is why this too ends on an open note. Because if history has taught us anything, it's that man's need to cause harm and people's appetite for Salman Khan are unlikely to change.... full review

Thumbs down, by Kamaal Rashid Khan, Khaleej Times : ...It's a waste of time to watch such an unreal movie that one wouldn't know whether it is comedy or action or both or it's a computer game. But if you are a fan of Salman and Katrina and watching them is enough, then it will be good enough... full review

Thumbs down, by Mayank Shekhar, MiD DAY : ...Sure, at 160 minutes' plus, this movie is more than a bit of a stretch (both literally, and figuratively). Give him a few more minutes, forget evacuating the few nurses, King Salmander would have vanquished the entire IS (he’s already martyred half the militia to hell). I get it. Not hard to tell who’ll unconditionally love it. That’s really all there is to report from this battlefield.... full review

Thumbs down, by Sukanya Varma, Rediff : ...Of course for all its nerve, the argument is NEVER equal. Pakistan is always defensive to India's offensive. The aman ki asha facade falls through the minute a Pakistani hoists an Indian flag and there's a conspicuous lack of reciprocation. Almost as if to salvage the awkwardness of it all, a Pakistani then hoists his own flag as well.... full review

What did not

Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here

  • Salman Khan hunting!
  • So many terrorists with an American accent?

Parental Guidance:

  • Violence: Loads
  • Language: Clean
  • Nudity & Sexual content: A bare-chested Salman Khan and skimpily clad women dancing during the closing credits
  • Concept: Indian and Pakistani intelligence agencies take on a terrorist group
  • General Look and Feel: The regular action fare though with relatively subtler colour schemes

The promos look dull. Salman is turned into a desi Sylvester Rambo Stallone. Rehashed action sequences. If promos are so disheartening, I wonder what the movie is going to be like. YRF just milking on the success of Tiger of 5 years ago?

Totally agree!

yeah its release today , i am so excited, i want to watch this movies as soon as it availble on internet :) <3

Fan

Tu tu tu tu tu Tara.
Tiger aa gaya phir dobara.

Very often we come across promos that deceive. Tiger Zinda hai is one such case but the other way around, the film is a tad better than the promo.

It has been ages since Hollywood had a one man army annihilating a battalion of armed to the teeth bad guys in a tornado style upheaval. It took Bollywood ages to catch up, but catch up it did finally. A film full of bullets raining left right centre, bombs and drones firing away every so often, more gun firing sounds then actual dialogues, probably the Hindi film with the least dialogues ever. Action sequences are slickly shot but they lack imagination and originality. Every other scene reminds you of something already seen in a Hollywood film, whether it is high octane Bond like chase in the Alps, or True Lies style couple on a mission, or John McCane from Die Hard, or the most obvious one many army in the form of Rambo Stallone.

The Tiger is on a mission, and YRF has gone back to the ever successful 1970-1980 formula of having a crack team composed of wannabe stars, each getting his 2 minutes in the limelight. The wannabe stars from diverse ethnic background to highlight the unity of strength, together with a pakka Musalman who is more patriotic and loyal to his country than anyone who has walked on the planet Earth. Typical 1970s formula, often successfully played out by Pran-saab.

As regards the music department, you have the constant playing of the Tiger signature tune in the background. So much so that your ears keep on imagining that music hours after you leave the theatre. And the non stop noise of weapons going off all the time. Surprising that no environmental protection groups brought out a PIL to seek a ban on the noise pollution.

On the acting front, the only, one and only, character that made a positive and powerful impact, is Paresh Rawal. Rest all, including Karnad are just props. And yeah, for those who crave it, there is this prolonged topless scene of Salman.

All this is enough to ensure that this average product goes on to be a commercial success. For guys looking for good entertainment, brace yourself for a third installment because this is going to generate enough return on investment for YRF and brand Salman.

Merry Christmas.

Anuj

Grand visuals, spectacular action, Salman Khan in Bond mode, Katrina Kaif in catwoman mode & a menacing antagonist make up for the illogical plot loopholes & lack of novelty in Tiger Zinda Hai. This one delivers what it promises. A surefire winter BLOCKBUSTER. The word of mouth in mass centers and B/C centers would be unanimously positive while the urban centers and metropolitan multiplexes would carry a mixed word of mouth that would prevent TZH from scaling the heights of Dangal or Bajrangi Bhaijaan. On the whole, the word of mouth should be 70-75% and the lifetime collections should be 300-325 cr range. My personal rating for the film would be a 7/10. A popcorn entertainer which despite its loopholes, makes a lot more sense than other action popcorn entertainers like the Dhoom films and the Race films.

Fan

Wishing a very happy 2018 to all wogma friends. And hoping for a much better filmy 2018.

And yeah, hoping to read more from Anuj and Anup in 2018.

Happy 2018 to you too!

Tiger is Back after 8 years with loved ones.
