Nationalism, terrorism, the tricolour and a joint mission with isi and Raw is all served with humour, masala and plenty of action. Tiger zinda hai might be based on the 2014 abduction of indian nurses by the jihadist group ISIS but the only specks of authenticity to expect in the Ali Abbas Zafar film are in marocco and abu dhabi, perhaps.everything else defies reality and logic, unabashedly so.
just about anything goes in the name of bhai. the film is far-fetched, brazen and unapologetic paean to the stardom of Salman khan, showcasing him as the ultimate action hero.Right from his entry scene complete with the trademark scarf and his one on on with a pack of wolves to him single-handedly taking on an entire army of terrorists, a la rambo, with his shirt customarily off. He looked stocky to me, his face seemed tired and bloated. Some of the sequences felt tracky for the huge money invested in the film and bhai’s body double did show through in some scenes. In fact, I thought Katrina Kaif, as the Pakistani agent Zoya, and salman’tiger’ khan’s wife, with whom he stays in a third country.
