Tiger 3 review
The Good:
- Salman Khan’s Daredevil Stunts: Khan’s action sequences defy both death and gravity. He’s back in top form, performing jaw-dropping stunts that keep the adrenaline pumping.
- Visual Spectacle: Anay Goswamy’s cinematography captures the globe-trotting espionage saga beautifully. From Europe to Russia, Istanbul, India, and Pakistan, the film takes viewers on an exhilarating ride.
- Katrina Kaif’s Well-Defined Character: Unlike typical spy movie heroines, Katrina’s Zoya has depth. Her backstory, motive, and context add substance to her action-heavy role.
- Adrenaline-Pumping Action: Tiger 3 doesn’t skimp on heart-pounding action. Fans of the genre won’t be disappointed.
The Not-So-Good:
- Predictable Plot Twists: While the film keeps you engaged, some twists are snackable but not surprising.
- Clichéd Antagonist: Emraan Hashmi shines as Aatish, but his character lacks conviction due to clichéd writing.
- Music Falls Short: Pritam’s music doesn’t leave a lasting impact.
Balancing Patriotism and Drama:
Tiger 3 navigates a delicate line between showcasing patriotism and overdramatizing it. The timely cameo by Shahrukh Khan as Pathan adds a nostalgic touch for fans of both Khans.
Final Verdict:
Despite its expected storyline and reliance on established spy movie tropes, Tiger 3 packs enough ammo for mass entertainment. It’s a worthy addition to the franchise, even if it lacks finesse in some scenes.
