Bhai fans who have been eagerly waiting for the release of Tiger Zinda Hai are not going to be disappointed. According to a review in Gulf News, the Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer film is a “testosterone-charged ride” where “subtlety is given an absolute thrashing in the spy thriller”.
“Though this film should ideally have been a portrait of the global politics and how religious extremism is sacrificing humanity, all forces in this film are at work to showcase Khan’s swagger, brute strength and espionage tactics. So unless you are a Khan fan, you may find it tedious,” says the reviewer.
The film does manage to make the audience laugh amidst all its jingoism.
“But what pulls you up from joylessness are the spectacular action sequences and the nuggets of humour that are inserted during the tense moments. The camaraderie between the agents on the free-the-nurses mission, who are naturally hand-picked by Tiger himself, puts a smile on your face”.
Talking about Katrina’s performance, the reviewer said, “While the film is largely testosterone-laced, the vision of Kaif executing deadly stunts is a bloody sight to behold. While she’s stone-faced in emotional scenes, she seems to revel in pummelling people to the ground”.
We will have to see how the film fares at the box-office.
