But stereotyping locations also means tacky and predictable visuals. Aseem Mishra’s cinematography does justice to the yellow outdoors of Cuba and makes Iraq seem just enough dusty to be believable. But this fails to have an impact as Salman only manages to jog clumsily and his unenthusiastic baby steps are followed by Olympian leaps across buildings. The chase sequences have been choreographed with meticulous detailing of parkour stunts.
Sadly, forcing a love story in it makes this concoction too lethal to consume. This film seems to be director Kabir Khan’s ultimate fantasy to script a desi Bond flick (like Tezz). Only difference, he doesn’t try to diffuse a nuclear bomb that resembles a mosambi juice maker. The rest of the film is laced with 3250 glasses smashed, 2314 cars wasted beyond recognition and never-ending chase sequences where Tiger cannot be caught by his tail. But true love triumphs when he chooses to look beyond Zoya’s un-RAWness and lets their bond thaw in sunny Cuba by escaping the shackles of duty. Yeh nahin ho sakta!” Even Tiger had initially got an earful about making difficult choices between ‘farz’ and ‘pyaar’ from RAW chief Shenoy (Girish Karnad). Their ‘kahaani mein twist’ happens when Tiger discovers Zoya’s true identity. But this changes when he bumps into Zoya (Katrina Kaif) on a mission. Tiger’s only grouse: no time for love and his undercover operations make him a little less desirable to most women and their parents. They can just be enjoyed or suffered, depending upon the elasticity of your tolerance.Įnemy spies materialising from every nook and cranny are smashed shapeless by our indestructible RAW agent Tiger (Salman Khan). Regardless, if you’ve followed Salman’s recent films, you know that they’re in a genre of their own and cannot be graded for the story, screenplay, performances or any other metric used to evaluate other films. If you thought Agent Vinod ( read review) made a Ronald McDonald out of the genre, Ek Tha Tiger (ETT) takes a mousey tail and sticks it up his nose for Salman to swing from ear to ear. But this one belongs to the genre mastered by Jackie Chan and plastered with superhuman stunts by Salman Khan: action comedy mashed up with a spy thriller. Cast: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Ranvir Shorey, Girish Karnad, Roshan SethĮk Tha Jackie Shroff.
