Ek Tha Tiger Movie Review IV

We don’t really need to revise the promotions or hype of Ek Tha Tiger because we all know about it. So let’s get straight to the analysis of Ek Tha Tiger.

In every probability, Ek Tha Tiger is not a bad or an average movie. Rather, it is unexpectedly great and surprisingly exhilarating. 


Cinema is not just about having a different or an innovative concept every-time. It is also about doing justice to your content, no matter whatever it is and Ek Tha Tiger scores in the second type. Ek Tha Tiger’s biggest win is that the movie has a well scheduled story and a thoroughly organized premises, unlike most of the movies these days. Kabir Khan’s artistic stability between commercialism and sensibilities aid the movie magnificently. Even the character sketch of Tiger being such a mechanical and under instructions spy justifies the story such accurately. Further, the title is such correctly relevant. The movie does drive some concepts from Veer Zaara and Mr. and Mrs. Smith but in totality, they remain to be just concepts.

When you talk about screenplay, Ek Tha Tiger does wonders. Kabir Khan’s execution of romantic spy thriller leaves you spellbound by the justifications, detailing of even minor script points, steadiness and computations. Another thing what I liked about Kabir Khan’s narrative is that it is very confidently linear. Some of the diminutive details are dished out and are later used in the movie which may be difficult for some viewers to connect together but keeping his class and standard of execution, Kabir Khan is definite about it and handles the whole thing with expertise.

The first half may be a little slower and there are some real scope for improvisations but it is satisfying and after the end of the entire movie, I would rather call the first half very calculative. To execute the moment of ‘fun on the run’, it’s the director’s job to first create a base or a ground for that moment and regarding this explanation, Kabir Khan’s conduct is commendable. In fact, to make a romantic thriller with complete justifications to the practicality of the protagonists, without making them a love legend or making them go anti to their respective countries and by just doing what they want to, Kabir Khan's attempt should be applauded, who has raised the bar up of very clichédly romantic term “they are in love <3 font="font"> in a modernized, practical, subtle and in very persuasive manner.

Even during the second half, in the chase sequences, the protagonists way of expressing their fondness [exhibited through slow motion gazes and exceptional background score (the thing which I loved in the movie)] is a very passionate thing of direction from Kabir Khan, which obviously is very common but not commonly this rightly done. Second half is sensationally breathtaking. The movie turns so awe-stunning here that if you are influenced to get out of the theatre in the midst of the second half, you will return back to your seat again. The content of the movie, no matter it be a tram fight or even a minor thing like some play in Dublin, i.e. (almost) everything, was demanded by the script. Kabir Khan never intends to go off track and never compromises and he is successful in the end. However, there are some drawbacks of the movie as well.

Foremost is its appeal. Ek Tha Tiger’s appeal is limited but too rooted also. It means you have to be rooted to the romance to enjoy the fun of the movie in the second half. Else, it would be too brainless or at most, just fascinating stunt sequences for you. The reason for this problem is because the genre has been misinterpreted by the audience. It’s a romantic spy thriller and not a spy thriller, there’s a difference. And according to me, the movie defends its genre.

There are two more points which according to me could have been better in the movie. Firstly, some very obvious body-double shots and secondly, the dialogues. Visible body double shots are too noticeable and spoil the mood sometimes and dialogues go down at some high script moments (like during the dance between Tiger and Zoya at the UN Peace Meet). Performances are delightful. Salman Khan is very suitable as a spy but his robotic spy personality is to look out for. It is very distinguished from all the spy characters which we have seen. Though at times he looks old, the charisma he has throughout the movie is eminent for the character. Katrina Kaif has never been this good. I guess Kabir Khan extracts the best from her because even in New York, her performance was stupendous. She surely leaves a strong mark with this movie. Ranveer Shorey and Girish Karnad are wonderful too.

Moving to technicalities, cinematography is jaw dropping-ly amazing. Editing is crisp. Action scenes are beyond the reach of any Hindi movie. It is so beautifully executed and intelligently choreographed as per the characters and situations that there are no questions raised. Music is situationally great. All the songs and their picturizations play an important role in progressing the script. Background score is suitably majestic.


Sau Bat Ki Ek Bat,


Ek Tha Tiger provides many reasons for a must watch experience. No cheesy action, no ek se ek dialogues, no clichéd love story and ofcourse, no stereotyping of Salman Khan. Ek Tha Tiger is in simple words is a Dil ki baat from the director and all his passion for the script is clearly noticeable in his direction. Clean romance, super action, marvelous execution, lively chemistry between the protagonists and significant performances make it a thumpy and an impressive romantic ride. At roughly around 2 hours and 15 minutes, the movie has tremendous repetition value too.

There has been a lot of negativity for the movie post its release and I can't help but sneer at them because the movie in no way is a letdown. You will be surprised how terrifically calculative and how calculatively terrific Ek Tha Tiger is. On the contrary, to me, it is Salman Khan’s best Eid offering so far. Also, just like 3 idiots, this is one of the only deserving highest grossers to come from the Hindi Film Industry. 


it deserve 3.5 star
