Tiger 3 Movie Review starring Salman Khan Katrina Kaif: After the success of ‘Pathan’ and an action scene featuring Salman Khan as a guest, the expectations for ‘Tiger 3’ are sky high. Prior to ‘Pathan’, the success of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, starring Salman Khan as an Indian spy in YRF SPY Universe, also fueled expectations. And how about ‘Tiger 3’?

Tiger 3 Movie Story: 

Tiger alias Avinash (Salman Khan) lives happily with his wife Zoya (Katrina Kaif) and child. He loses Gopi (Ranveer Shorey) while trying to save him from terrorists. Gopi says that Zoya is a double agent before dying. Cut to… Zoya and Tiger together steal a suitcase belonging to Pakistan in Turkey. 

As Tiger is a ‘RAW’ agent and Zoya is an ex-ISI agent…India and Pakistan governments started hunting for both. Actually… What’s in the suitcase? Who betrayed which country? Which country was saved from great danger? Who is former ISI agent Atish Rahman (Emraan Hashmi)? It should be seen on the silver screen.

Tiger 3 Movie  Review: 

Before ‘Pathan’ and ‘War’ came ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ in Yash Raj Films’ spy universe/franchise. Both of them set a standard in terms of action and style. Salman Khan’s ‘Tiger’ has a stronger story and stories than Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan’s. Hence, the expectations for ‘Tiger 3’ are huge. But, it must be said that there is no movie at that level.

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have given a hundred percent effort to entertain the audience with ‘Tiger 3’. Efforts of both of them were seen in acting and action scenes. But… the action ride/drama didn’t excite me due to the weak story and narration along with poor direction. Even the huge action scenes seemed stretched. Apart from that, speed is missing in the action scenes and the scenes are drawn out so that the rest is not interesting. There are no thrill or engaging scenes.

We have come to see those who are ready to sacrifice their lives for the country and take their own lives as spy agents/spies. ‘Tiger 3’ is surprising at the start of two such top spies doing the same thing as a terrorist with a twin brother. There starts to be a bit of a disconnect. 

It is a comedy to show that the security in the office of the Prime Minister of Pakistan is the worst week. Not to reveal the twist… Katrina Kaif doesn’t remember Salman Khan in one scene. It reminded me of a movie from the 80s. Shah Rukh and Salman fight after the interval… some scenes are good.

The songs rendered by Pritam are good. But, Tanuj Tiku’s background music doesn’t give the required punch to the action sequences. No goosebumps. Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai have scored extraordinary background music by Julius Paquim. The absence of his RR is a big minus for this movie. The cinematography is ok. Construction values are high. Looking at the visuals on the screen, it seems that it was well spent. Be it action scenes, be it talky parts… it will feel longer. In that regard, directors, producers, and editors should take care.

Tiger 3 Movie Actors Performance: 

We can’t imagine anyone else but Salman Khan in the role of Tiger. At that level he acted in the films ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’. He showed swag in the action scenes as well. Bringing the character of Tiger to life is not new to him. The scenes that elevate Salman’s heroism and the moments that give goosebumps are less in ‘Tiger 3’.

Katrina Kaif’s role of Zoya has been given more importance than Salman Khan in ‘Tiger 3’. Katrina did well in the action scenes as well. Her composed fights are good. Emraan Hashmi’s screen space is less compared to Salman and Katrina. But, while there, he showed stylish villainy. The action episode with Shahrukh Khan as a guest is good. Hrithik Roshan shines in a guest appearance after the iconic scenes.

‘Tiger 3’ also features South stars. Simran was seen in a key role as the Prime Minister of Pakistan. She also impressed as an actress. She has good screen space. Revathi played the role of Chief Menon in ‘Raw’. Anish Kuruvilla shines as a person in a key position in the government.

Finally…: In the movie’s beginning, Salman Khan goes on a mission. India Raw chief says that it is a ‘time pass’ mission. Maybe… this movie is also made for time pass. Apart from the routine and basic spy film format… there is nothing new in ‘.Tiger 3’. Just action and action! A time pass film is just that… it’s for Salman’s hardcore fans! At the beginning of the movie, it is said that India will face a new enemy that is more dangerous than the ISI. We have to wait for ‘War 2’ to know who that enemy is.
