Tiger -3 movie review: After 8 years Salman Khan reached Pakistan
Built on big-heartedness, Neighborliness and patriotic enthusiasm, "Tiger 3" sets off plenty of holiday fireworks, but lacks the punch to leave the pugmark on the Indian audience.
After Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Salman Khan goes to Pakistan again, but this time not for Muni but to save democracy, yes what you read is This time Tiger is on a personal mission early days Agents fight against Pakistan but this time Tiger has moved one step forward by Taking up the responsibility to save the PM and to give message of peace and harmony to the world. Director Manish Sharma uses both the national anthem and "Prabhu Ka Naam" to keep Tiger alert from political aspects. , but this spy does not prove to be as sharp as his spiritual cousin Pathan, who also hunted in a similar geopolitical zone earlier this year.
Written by Shridhar Raghavan, who also wrote Shah Rukh Khan's action comeback, Pathaan's shadow looms large in this latest edition of Yash Raj Films' expanding desi espionage universe. The villain Aatish Rehman (Emraan Hashmi) is a rogue agent who mixes personal loss with a political agenda. The difference is that this time he belongs to Pakistan's ISI and has a deep relationship with former ISI agent Zoya (Katrina Kaif), who is now living a peaceful life with Tiger and their son Junior in Austria.
Is Zoya working against India's interests?
Is Zoya working against India's interests? The leap of faith is daring and Zoya's backstory draws us into a story that explodes every few minutes with incredible action choreography. The highlight was Shah Rukh's appearance, creating an exciting scene for the masses.
In between, however, the tapestry of emotions cannot move us and the information provided by intelligence does not prove intelligence. Taken together, they give a taste of the Deepavali recipe that has become obsolete; this means the plot never threatens to push us over the edge.
The realpolitik that drives the ostensibly complex plot isn't as newsworthy as we've seen in previous episodes, and the fun factor that defines a Salman Khan film isn't as engaging as its candour would have you believe... Some insightful dialogues (Anckur Chaudhry) - like when a well-intentioned director general of the ISI (Danish Husain) likens the peace process to the delicate art of helping a girl put on a bangle - are followed by a few truncated lectures about the unhealed wounds of grades.
However, between the two, the emotional tapestry does not move us and the contribution of intelligence does not appear intelligent. Taken together, they give a taste of the Deepavali recipe that has become obsolete; this means the plot never threatens to push us over the edge.

After a while, the film, like its share of news channels, feels a little too preoccupied with the democratic and authoritarian elements of the neighbourhood while turning a blind eye to the turmoil within. There are no opposing views.
Is Tiger Plot similar to Gadar2?
Like Gadar2, the film plays when Tiger enters his wife's yard and the makers take the subcontinent's male sentiment to a new level when Tiger comes to bail out the Pakistani Prime Minister, Nasreen Irani (Simran). At the beginning of the movie, Tiger goes on a rescue mission to prepare for the big battle. His manager calls him Mission Timepass. This unintentionally became the film's nickname as it refused to become more than a series of carefully edited action scenes with some clear ideas about salvaging the fragile peace process between the two countries... Salman tries a little harder every time he plays Tiger. It's hard to hide being a spy, but then again, he does what he does with a purpose. However, the emotional upheaval and spiritual conflict associated with the mission have profound personal ramifications that do not consistently manifest themselves in his implementation.
Emraan owns characters who endure complex cynicism and persecution. As a villain who likes to wear black but dreams of turning the world green, he brings the bigots in the neighbourhood to the negotiating table. Katrina makes no effort to portray the emotional side of a conflicted woman whose loyalty to her husband and country is clouded. However, she is much more agile in action scenes than Salman, the highlight being a detailed fight scene where she confronts a female opponent wearing a scarf.
Replacing Girish Karnad as Tiger's man in charge, Revathy was a smart casting choice and one expected at least one intense scene between two notable actors who had starred in Love (1991), but the makers came back disappointing. The supporting cast led by Kumud Mishra, Danish Husain and Anant Vidhaat is impressive and fills in the gaps very well. Overall, fueled by goodwill and patriotic fervour, Tiger will make it through the holiday but leave no mark on the Indian audience.
