One of my all time favorites.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is Salman Khan's best action flick. The stunts he performed in this movie is excellent. His chemistry with Katrina Kaif is also treat to watch. Songs are also pretty good. Now if we talk about Katrina, her stunts were pretty awesome. Kabir Khan did a very good job. The surprising twists n turns in the story,perfectly timed punches and very well executed fight sequences will make you change your opinion. Some action stuffs were international level. Yash raj and Kabir picked the right guy for this movie. I think Salman should do this kind of movie with Kabir. Their chemistry was very good. This movie is good but it could have been better. Every fan of Salman khan would love this movie but other fans just stay away.

Where do I begin with 'Ek Tha Tiger' I guess I should say with blockbuster type films, acting is really not required as the special effects, action sequences, loud music and flashy wardrobe and props become the stars of the show and therefore are at the forefront and what the audiences are treated to. Sure there are those who would come for the superstar cast but action movie-buffs are usually viewing for the former rather than the latter. That said, 'Ek Tha Tiger' or ETT as it is known to fans around the world is not entirely bad acting wrapped in explosive special effects and action sequences, it does have its moments of drama and suspense and by the time its elaborate plot starts to unravel, you will either have made the commitment to keep watching or have given up completely as you do have to suspend your disbelief quite a lot for this film. Tiger (played by Salman Khan) is a secret agent for India's intelligence bureau and lives for his job which he is good at as evident in the nearly thirty minute long opening sequence in which he is double-crossed and cornered by half a dozen men yet manages to beat them all up and escape with hardly a scratch on him. That encounter took place somewhere in Morocco, it has been used as the venue for many action scenes in Hollywood films as well. Afterwards, Tiger returns to India where he is sent on a new mission to Ireland to keep track of a professor whom the bureau believes in leaking sensitive information to Pakistan. Upon Tiger's arrival, he scopes out the professor and finds it hard to believe that such man who is so engrossed in his duties at the university could be spy. Nevertheless, he proceeds on his mission to keep track of the man. One day, while he's watching the professor, he notices movement in the professor's home after the professor has left to walk his dog and sneaks in to investigate, inside he finds a woman dancing around as she cleans the home, feeling that she is being watched she turns around and it's Katrina Kaif (yup bad acting in something even as simple as turning around and looking surprised) and Tiger is immediately smitten. He devises a plan to get to know her by pretending he doesn't have a place to stay and she offers him room and board and sooner rather than later they begin dating. Tiger continues to receive his Intel via his assistant played by Ranvir Shorey and the relationship between Zoya (Kaif's character) and Tiger blossoms until one night when Tiger receives a phone call and is told that a transmission is being sent from the professor's home while Tiger and the professor are out watching a play together. Tiger races to the intercept the transmission and catches the culprit in the act, with his gun trained on the culprit he asks the person to turn around with their hands up. What happens next and the result of that makes up the rest of the film. Hey! Wait didn't that happen to James Bond in Casino Royal? Aryan "Mr A" in Dhoom 2? Shekhar Verma in Khakee? You know what, I could go on and on with this. I rate it 4/10. The music was good though, especially the song that played when the lovers were in Havana, Cuba.

There are certain movies that are so bad that they give you a bad headache along with a sense of regret for wasting time and money but ek tha tiger eclipsed that feeling! If I wasn't watching this film along with a bunch of other people I'd have puked or may be tried to strangle myself to death rather than watch this horror of a movie. Please for your own sake, steer clear of this. I'm a self proclaimed huge Salman fan but even I couldn't digest this disgraceful movie. These petty action sequences where Salman beats 50-60 guys with his bare hands and mind you bare chest as he always takes his shirt off, is getting ridiculous! I couldn't rate this movie even if you put me at gun point cause even 1/10 doesn't seem bad enough! Mindless Flick!

I would directly start by saying that the movie was utter disappointment and disgrace to spy-action-romance genre. Story was terrible specially in the first half, by terrible I mean lacking in content, illogical and too many unnecessary characters. I guess the basic selling point in writer or director's mind was 'bashing ISI as much as you can.' It's pity that such a film got a huge box office success because I am afraid it will only encourage others to follow the same trend. I mean I understand that its a movie on a RAW James bond and one must not expect anything good for ISI in the movie but guys do it with some logic. Agent Vinod was way better than this. Acting on the side of Salman was just average as usual, Katrina Kaif is Bollywood's Kristen Stewart, no expressions what so ever. And yeah, girl if you have fighting skills then what happens to you when you confront ISI guys. The same illogical unnecessary drama to end first half. Acting on behalf of Roshan Seth as professor Kidwai was outstanding, I guess no one could match him acting wise in the movie. The movie was lacking proper research a big time, Spoken Urdu was as bad as Kaif's real life Hindi skills. I mean guys if you are making a spy movie, do it correctly. Put some class, style, story, logical twist and turns. Action was good I must say, but it didn't look as compact as in Bourne series or even in MIs. Overall, I regret that after successfully avoiding Salman Khan films from Ready on wards, why did I trust Salman again. In a nutshell, movie was too scattered and illogical. Don't waste your time, not recommended.
