https://fenilandbollywood.com/2012/08/15/movie-review-ek-tha-tiger-by-fenil-seta/ Another Eid. Another Salman release. Yet again, the excitement is immense. This time, slightly more. After all, Salman and YRF are coming together for the first time. The hit jodi of Salman-Katrina, meanwhile, is collaborating with each other after a hiatus. Exotic locales, peppy music, slick look, action, drama, chase, explosions, romance, masti and a lot more was promised by the promos and songs of Ek Tha Tiger. However, one subtle stuff promised by the trailers was that the film will be in lines of a typical Kabir Khan flick – commercial and entertaining and yet believable and to an extent, bit of realistic as well. In that context, Ek Tha Tiger disappoints. More details later! The story of the movie: Tiger (Salman Khan) is one of the best officers in the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). He’s single, doesn’t like to take an off and is always on the lookout for a dangerous, exciting and challenging mission. After his stint in Zakho (Iraq), his senior (Girish Karnad) sends him to a relatively safer mission at Dublin (Ireland). His job will be to simply observe Prof Kidwai (Roshan Seth), an Indian scientist suspected to be sharing sensitive and crucial information with Pakistan’s defence officials. When his attempts to even initiate a conversation with Kidwai prove futile, Tiger takes help of Zoya (Katrina Kaif). As days pass by, Tiger realizes that he’s in love…for the first time ever. However, this marks the beginning of a very difficult and harrowing time for Tiger. The biggest strength of Ek Tha Tiger is its stunning and exotic locations. The film has been shot in places like Cuba and Turkey where no Bollywood film has been shot ever. The film opens with visually appealing scenes and gives a perfect start to the thriller. Salman’s entry was smart and the following action scene gives viewers a high. Even the Delhi scenes are immensely entertaining. Sadly, the film goes down as soon as the action shifts to Dublin. Barring few scenes of Salman-Katrina and Salman-Ranvir Shorey (as Gopi), the Dublin episode didn’t have much excitement to offer. The chase sequence minutes before the intermission was brilliant though. The second half too commences with not-so-exciting moments. It’s only later when Tiger listens to his heart that the film comes back on track. From here till the end, the film was fairly a decent ride. The fight in the climax commences with a bang but the unbelievable action stunts in between spoil the show. And that in a way is a major glitch of Ek Tha Tiger. There are portions in the film where everything seems convincing but few scenes here and there take the believability factor out. And this shall disappoint many because the film gave a different sort of impression with the trailers and teaser. The ‘India aur Pakistan mein do aisi sarkaari agencies hai jo har roz, har pal jung lad rahi hai’ type dialogues being one of them. The film doesn’t boast of huge star cast and everyone give in their best shot. Salman Khan fits the bill as the ‘Tiger’ and half the battle was already won by him. I have always found his performances impressive and Ek Tha Tiger is no exception. The actor especially shines in the action scenes, some of them very difficult which he did sans body double. The film might have slightly disappointed but would not harm Salman’s career in any manner whatsoever. The guy’s on a roll and how! His next (Dabangg 2 and Sher Khan) too are expected to set the BO on fire! Barring Tees Maar Khan, Katrina Kaif has always accepted roles that have meat and don’t relegate her to being eye-candy. Ek Tha Tiger gives her chance not only to romance but also to exhibit her acting (and action) prowess. She shines the most in ‘Masha Allah’ though! Ranvir Shorey and Girish Karnad lend in able support. Same goes for Roshan Seth. Others do fine as well. Sajid-Wajid and Sohail Sen came up with peppy and energetic songs. ‘Masha Allah’ is the best of the lot followed by ‘Laapta’ and ‘Banjara’. Julius Packiam’s background score enhances impact in several scenes. Conrad Palmisano’s action is terrific and eye-catching. Great work! However, at places, it was over-the-top and brought the film down as well. Aditya Chopra’s story definitely had the meat and all trappings of a blockbuster. Many spy and espionage thrillers have been made in Bollywood but none have thrown light on the problems faced by secret agents while dealing with the aam junta. After all, they can’t reveal their profession and have to often resort to lies. Ek Tha Tiger throws light on this aspect which is indeed praiseworthy. Neelesh Misra and Kabir Khan’s dialogues pack a solid punch. But their script lacked the punch at many places. Same goes for Kabir’s direction. This is his weakest film yet. The thriller part of the film was exciting, not the love story. Also, showing people playing musical instruments and singing at every restaurant/party and focusing on them for quite long got repetitive and on viewer’s nerves as well! Kabir, however, deserves praise for presenting exotic countries and for the prolonged action scenes as well! On the whole, Ek Tha Tiger does give an adrenaline rush but only at places. The love story is lackluster while in many scenes, the goings-on don’t seem convincing. However, the film has Salman, Katrina, locales and action that compensates for the glitches. At the box office, it has taken a historic start. It would turn out to be profitable venture for the makers. As for whether it’ll break 3 Idiots’ record, let’s see!

My Review - Ek Tha Tiger……From last few years bollywood entertainment is getting classified in four distinct categories…..Comedy, Romance, Action and Story…..the first three categories are those where you may or may not find new stories or even “stories”, but you will still feel entertained, while the fourth category will always be an assured winner. ETT falls amongst the first 3 categories. The Indian audience should learn about these categories while setting expectations on their spent. Talking about Ek Tha Tiger…….Salman’s movie are generally liked by people who are action enthusiast…..and it would not be a hype to say that Ek Tha Tiger would please action enthusiasts like never before. I believe bollywood buffs would not be able to recall any movie in last decade having such nicely crafted action scenes. The cherry on the cake is Katrina making action moves and believe me you will walk out of the show quoting it as the most fresh and unprecedented part of the package. After looking at New York and ETT, I think Yashraj should award Kabir Khan as the best director for them in terms of utilizing the money they spend on shooting at overseas locations. The cinematography coupled with action scenes and absorbing background score has really made this movie stand far ahead of its copycat Agent Vinod. Both the movies have various things parallel to each other but Kabir strikes over Sriram Raghavan with his unparalleled aptitude to keep unreal action look digestible, on the grounds of proper editing, sequencing, background score and screenplay. The first half moves slowly and can appear to be boring for lot of people in audience but you will cherish the experiential screenplay where Salman goes into the flash back whenever encountered with questions from Katrina. Although the movie offers less amount of exercise to our cheek muscles but again remember that it is not "Bol Bachan" which actually falls into Comedy category and do fairly well in action rather ETT is a movie of action category which does fairly well in making you laugh. Suhail Sen and Sajid Wajid share one good song each, Laapata and Masha Allah respectively. Masha Allah falls in the frame with end credits and holds back audience to their seats with the smoking hot looks of Katrina. Salman and Katrina’s on screen chemistry is unmatched and their characters being similar (intelligence agents) make the frame go on fire. Both of them looked good but somehow were not supported with the best of the makeup you would expect them to bear. Ranvir Shorey had a small pie and he made the best use of it. All in all, the most awaited movie of the year till date came out well with its promises to entertain the audience in Salman’s style and Kabir Khan’s work is clap worthy for restoring that style throughout in the 3 hour show. He has not worked on the story of the movie but he has assured entertainment with his action-packed screenplay, light-hearten dialogues and slow but simple narration. Ashish

Ek Tha Tiger was one of the best Bollywood action movie made in the recent time with well-executed action scenes , snippy-snazzy stunts and of course it gives you one and the only SALMAN KHAN's charisma.It is enthralling and gives you an entertainment potion right from the beginning till the end. Ek Tha Tiger tells the story of a RAW agent Tiger(Salman Khan) who has been given a secret assignment to observe a Trinity College scientist(Roshan Seth), suspected to have links with ISI agents and selling missile technology secrets to Pakistan. Tiger reaches Dublin and follows his activities with help of Professor's care-taker, Zoya( Katrina Kaif). Doing his duty , Tiger falls in love with Zoya and is occupied in two states of mind that whether he will perform his duty or began a brand new life with Zoya. Directed by Kabir Khan ( Kabul Express , New-York), Ek Tha Tiger starts off very well with wonderfully executed opening action scene where Tiger fights the other spy agents followed by couple of scenes in London and Dublin. Kabir Khan has done a good job by keeping the movie entertaining right from the beginning till the end. He is thought provocative and does not loose focus. Full marks should be given to the action director who has choreographed the action sequences with aplomb and looks are stylish and superbly-executed. The tram chasing scene , the fight scenes in Havana are just mind-blowing and give you an appetizer for more. However , the film do contains some loop holes like the story-telling which is weak on merits and could have been worked upon. Screenplay is decent with few loose ends. The ending of the film could have made little crispy rather than just showing simple one. However , all these demerits are compensated by stupendous performances by Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. Salman delivers yet again with crispy humorous witty one- liners. Watch for him in the action scenes as well.He just surprises you in every sequence. Katrina did leaves an impact and is not sidelined considering that it is a Salman's movie.She was fantastic in the fight scenes choreographed in Havana.Cinematography by Aseem Mishra is eye- catching capturing beautiful locales of Dublin , London and Istanbul.Music by Sohail Sen and Sajid-Wajid is good but not great. "Mashallah" and "Banjara" are the pick of the lots. Overall , Ek Tha Tiger delivers what it promises - Entertainment. This has style as well as substance. Salman's super stardom and well-defined content will make it sustainable at the ticket window and has good legs to prolong its splendid run. Go for it. Definitely Watchable 3.5 /5
