Tiger 3 Movie Review The Ultimate Guide: Cast, Plot
Tiger 3 Movie Review The Ultimate Guide: Cast, Plot
Salman khan did the same monotonous low pitch voice in all his recent movies. Which is unbearable, annoying. No voice modulations, emotions and variations. He probably tries to imitate Bobby deol silent action hero type acting. Like Soldier, Bichhoo.
But Bobby Deol’s low pitch voice is not annoying at all, it is soothing, while Salman’s voice seems like he has flu and sore throat since a month.
A Familiar Plot with Personal Stakes Tiger
Salman Khan’s new boss sends Tiger Ms. Menon (Revathi) on a mission to save an old friend.
He succeeds partially in the mission and gets a shocker of an information which shakes him.
Aatish Rehman (Emraan Hashmi) enters as the baddie, previously being the mentor of Zoya (Katrina Kaif).
Tiger and Zoya find the past and present entangling and making things too personal.
The story continues as they rescue Pakistan from Aatish’s mess in a silly plot.
A Bizarre Plot Twist: Saving Pakistan?
There is nothing much to write about the story or the screenplay,
as even writing too little is gonna reveal the entire thing.
So let me be blunt in saying, it falls under the silliest of the stories written
and there is not much hope for the spyverse as far as the writing department goes.
The film starts with Mission Time Pass and ends up being one thanks to the overload of action segments completely driving the second half.
Hype Fizzles with Mediocre Action
Underwhelming Action in the First Half
For the kind of hype they created, the first half action scenes aren’t that extraordinary.
The second half thankfully has the action set in indoors without much distraction from poor CGI like in Pathaan and much of it being hand to hand combat helps in the film’s favor.
Salman Khan is almost a demigod on the big screen when it comes to action films and he aces with his sheer screen presence.
Emraan Hashmi was actually really good as Aatish but his characterization can be easily interchangeable with John Abraham’s Jim and none would notice the difference.
I was genuinely happy to see Simran sharing screen space with Bhai.
Improved Second Half with Gritty Hand-to-Hand Combat
Tiger 3 Movie Review The Ultimate Guide: Cast, Plot
In their minimal effort to create a throwback to Zoya’s origin story to even Tiger-Zoya’s origin story, the writers eventually resort to playing safe than explore it better.
They even resort to extreme violence in the third act which works for the film but mind you, this went too dark and too violent, which to an extent felt overdone.
Lastly, the Pathaan segment where much of the efforts were put in. Sadly, taking the word which is being thrown around Tiger 3’s pre-sales, the Pathaan’s cameo was anything but organic.
But it was sheer fan service, glorifying Shah Rukh in one shot and immediately following up with glorifying Salman so as to not offend any fanbase. These 10mins were fun and then the film goes on non-stop action mode.
Emraan Hashmi’s Strong Performance, Weak Characterization
Storyline of the movie is strong and action sequences are great and keep you tied with the seat. Though, at some instances may feel too much unrealistic action. Music is average as compared to prequels. Cinematography is great. Acting of Imran Hashmi is too good. He portrays negative character in superb way.
Another important thing is that you should only watch this movie if you have already watched Tiger series, war and Pathaan movies, Great connection with the YRF spy universe.
Direction is good with focus on the lead characters strength. Camera work should be appreciated. Overall great experience. A perfect family entertainment.
Forced Cameo and Fan Service
Overall, I will be a bit harsh as I am against usage of national Anthem as a gimmick which this film uses and I am not on board with it.
We all stood up during it bur hopefully filmmakers avoid this in future.
The nation might be divided but neither Salman nor Shah Rukh or even Aamir need this sort of gimmick in their films.
The action set pieces in the final act works, enjoy the film for that but the story gets way too silly so one has to ignore that to find this film to be a thorough Time Pass.
