Cast: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Ranvir Shorey
Director: Kabir Khan
Length: 2.15 hours approximately.
Over the roof action is one of the prime element of all
action films that Salman stars in. EK THA TIGER is no different. This many can
fly in the air just like crows, he jumps from one building to another as if he
has just taken one step ahead and yes he also show away his body, his signature
scene! . EK THA TIGER provides you plenty such things. But wasn’t this expected
in a Salman Khan film? Surprisingly the Katrina Kaif fans will also get chance
to see her doing some exciting action scenes towards the finale. In short, EK
THA TIGER is definitely far away from perfect film, but it solves its purpose
for sure!
The film opens with an overlong action scene. In all between
the action scene you so want to know why is this action happening! As expected,
it was just an introduction sequence to the film’s genre. Anyways, the first
half has glitches in abundance. The humor is very low-brow and the romance isn’t
really sweet to gallop. Yes, there are some fine moments between the couple but
they are not just enough to make for a compelling love story! However, the
problem lies in the story which never agrees to move forward. The intermission
point, though bit predictable, gives some high expectations for second half.
And here you go- you get to a very good second half which is
bound with too many twists and turns and an amazing last 20 minutes where you
also get to see “Dabangg” moment of Katrina. The top class action definitely
stays with you, no matter how unimaginable the action is! The pace is slick
post-intermission and that adds too much to the positives. The finale alone
manages to satisfy your high expectations. Overall, a solid second half!
The music is good. All four songs are very hummable and the
choreography is just about fabulous. The cinematography is good. The action
deserves some extra point. Especially the climax action is nail-biting and
exciting at same time. The dialogues are fine, though the humor is bit underwhelming.
The script takes good turn post-intermission and provides some good twists.
Kabir Khan once again manages to entertain his audience, with a splendid
direction. I would just like him to work on romance portion which lags here big
time affecting the first half majorly.
Salman Khan does it very well once again. His expressions
are very cool and his character is well sketched. Katrina Kaif delivers a
sparkling performance. Apart rom looking fantabulous, her acting skills have
got polished. She shines all through the film and manages to stand neck to neck
to Salman khan. Ranvir Shorey gets very little to do. He is alright.
On the whole, EK THA TIGER is your “sip-the-cola-chew-the-corn-and-enjoy”
film which gives you worth of your price for sure. How you wish, that the first
half of the film was bit more enjoyable! Anyways, it’s a good one time watch
entertainer for everyone. Recommended!
Rating- 3/5 (Good)
