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

So-So, by Nandini Ramnath, Scroll.in : ...Background music floods the action sequences in the hope that they exude greater pace and tension than they actually do. Nurses trapped in the war zone have been rescued with greater efficiency in Mahesh Narayan’s Take Off.... 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
