The Filmy Charcha Review Of ‘Tiger 3’
Ratings: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and a half
Review
Tiger 3, the latest installment in the Tiger franchise, continues the saga of espionage and action featuring Salman Khan as Tiger and Katrina Kaif as Zoya. The film introduces Emraan Hashmi as the antagonist Aatish Rehman, weaving a complex tale of personal vendettas, old alliances, and a mission to save Tiger’s son from impending danger.
Much like its predecessors, Tiger 3 revolves around a mission involving Tiger and Zoya, this time driven by personal stakes. Aatish Rehman, portrayed by Emraan Hashmi, emerges as a formidable foe seeking revenge for the loss of his wife and unborn child. Tiger, now on a mission beyond national boundaries, rallies his old colleagues to save his son from Aatish’s sinister plans.
While the storyline is intricate and filled with unexpected twists, the movie struggles with inconsistent pacing, particularly in the underwhelming first half. The narrative gains momentum in the second half, offering intense hand-to-hand combat and well-choreographed action sequences. Despite occasional lulls in the 2-hour-36-minute runtime, the film manages to keep audiences engaged with explosive sounds and visuals.
The 15-minute camaraderie between Salman and SRK stands out as a high point, injecting an extra dose of excitement into the film. The action sequences, though at times unrealistic, are superbly choreographed and provide enough adrenaline-pumping moments. The attempt to address diplomatic relations between rival nations adds depth to the plot without veering into preachy territory.
Performance Metrics: Day 11 and Overall Occupancy
On Day 11, November 22, ‘Tiger 3’ witnessed a slight dip in collections, adding Rs 5.75 crore to its total, according to trade reports. The film maintained an overall occupancy of 11.36 percent on Wednesday, showcasing its consistent draw at theaters. As the weekend approaches, the film’s performance over the coming days will reveal the extent of its enduring appeal and potential for further milestones.
The Grandeur of ‘Tiger 3’ in the YRF Spy Universe
Positioned as the fifth installment in YRF’s Spy Universe, ‘Tiger 3’ follows the success of ‘Ek Tha Tiger,’ ‘Tiger Zinda Hai,’ ‘War,’ and ‘Pathaan.’ Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif reprise their iconic roles as Avinash and Zoya in this action-packed thriller. Directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra, the film introduces cameos by Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan, adding to its star-studded ensemble.
‘Tiger 3’ as YRF’s Priciest Venture
Beyond its box office triumphs, ‘Tiger 3′ also holds the distinction of being Yash Raj Films’ most expensive project, reportedly made on an estimated budget of Rs 300 crore. The film’s soundtrack by Pritam and background score by Tanuj Tiku contribute to its cinematic splendor. As ‘Tiger 3’ continues to captivate audiences and scale new heights, its success reaffirms the potential for high-budget productions to resonate with viewers and redefine box office benchmarks.
