Tiger Zinda Hai is mounted on a mega scale that’s impressive. But inside it sits a piddi (a teeny-weeny thing) which can’t even pull off a biscuit trick.

As a Salman-athon, this film is full value for money and more for both Salman Khan and action buffs, so if we have to judge a film on that base, it is bang on target. But for non-Salman fans who still like their tryst with commercial entertainment, I somehow felt that this film lacked the repeat value of the best espionage dramas. But, since my rating is always for how close a film succeeds in its original intention and target audiences, I will go for a midway score.

After a disappointing Tubelight, where most of us hated to see Salman in his vulnerable, gullible avatar, the action star is back in his top form in Tiger Zinda Hai. What more? The film is more than just a r regular Salman Khan movie and it is totally worth your while.

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.

In Ali Abbas Zafar’s Tiger Zinda Hai, Khan’s vitality as an action hero is sorely absent. Were it not for back-up from Katrina Kaif as his wife Zoya, a laughably incompetent bunch of terrorists, and the combination of an indigestion-causing substance and sedatives, the Research & Analysis Wing agent’s mission to rescue Indian and Pakistani nurses trapped in Iraq would simply not have been possible.

From the first frame to the last blast, this is a fanboy director making sure that every moment of the narrative is paisa vasool for the Salman fans.

At an exhausting two hours and forty minutes, I really don’t care if Tiger is alive or a vegetable – whether he’s Zinda or Tinda, really – but this film needed to be much tighter.

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.

A worthy flick that gives a stand-alone message to the two rival nations India and Pakistan. Give it a sure-shot watch.

It may look like a Hollywood action thriller, but at its heart, Tiger Zinda Hai is an unabashed masala movie. The excessive use of slow motion shots and the constant fall back to comedy keep reminding you, this film wasn’t made in Hollywood.

Tiger Zinda Hai is a super-entertainer and will yield very huge profits at the ticket windows. The super-hit fare will turn out to be one of the biggest blockbusters of all times.

TZH looks like many other anti-terror films including Baby and NaamShabana. And if you really want to see a taut intensely-felt take on the same plot about the kidnapping of nurses in Iraq, try the Malayam film Take Off.

After a disappointing Tubelight, where most of us hated to see Salman in his vulnerable, gullible avatar, the action star is back in his top form in Tiger Zinda Hai. What more? The film is more than just a r regular Salman Khan movie and it is totally worth your while.

You step out of the theatre laden with cheese and corn: there’s flag waving patriotism, there’s good vs evil, there’s his girl kicking ass, there’s dialog, there’s biceps and six pack abs, there’s the gigantic gun, there’s comic relief, there’s also American drone strikes. Salman Khan fans will love the action-packed corny cheese fest that makes for a decent if predictable watch.

An event for Salman Khan fans, Tiger Zinda Hai is surely the most entertaining fare of 2017. Salman Khan is everyone’s Secret Santa this season gifting one enjoyable movie. Thank you, Ali Abbas Zafar!

Tiger Zinda Hai plays like a cut-rate version of Airlift. Though it lacks the relative realism and superior craftsmanship of the 2016 Akshay Kumar-starrer (also about the evacuation of Indians in the Middle East), Zafar’s film has the same hyper-patriotic bent.

The film has logical loopholes the size of craters. But a person choosing to watch a Salman Khan show might already be aware of that. Don’t analyse, don’t nitpick, don’t involve logic; and you are sorted. There are many seeti-worthy moments in Tiger Zinda Hai. The film plays to Salman’s gallery to the T.

Safe idealism or simply phony, you decide if you intend to endure 161 minutes of this toothless, tiring, plastic Tiger Zzzzzinda Hai.

This is a full-on masala entertainer and seeing the way the people bajaoed ceeties and taalis whenever Salman came on screen, the superstar has a winner with this one. Watch it for him and the superb action.         

‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ won’t disappoint you. After ‘Sultan’, Salman Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar pack a solid punch yet again. Especially, when there were no big releases for past three weeks, TZH can be worth watching this festive season.

Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer is an enjoyable fare…

Ali Abbas Zafar’s Tiger Zinda Hai is an out and out Salman Khan-film and tailor-made for his loyal fan base who wouldn’t miss the film for the world. But that also is the saddest part of the film in that we’ve reduced an actor to just being a ‘superstar’.

…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.

Whether Tiger is Zinda or not for the next round, that’s for you to find out.

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.

Well scripted, well shot and engaging TZH is a good watch and a very entertaining film.

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.

Go watch Tiger Zinda Hai if you’re a fan of large-scale action entertainers, with probably just the right amount of logic. Salman Khan has well and truly arrived (again) with a potential blockbuster that has enough to keep you pinned. Good fun while it lasts.
