The most anticipated movie of
2012 “Ek Tha Tiger” is released with a bang. Before the release all the tickets
were sold, it was hard to get tickets even for the 5th day of the
release. The reason behind it was nothing but Salman Khan’s box office power,
which has yet again proved to be the ace in marketing any movie, and yes I mean
“Any Movie”. YashRaj needs no introduction for those who are avid film viewers.
Director Kabir Khan (Kaabul Express and New York) managed to justify his
inspirations quite well. Here we all must know “inspiration” is just a modified
name of “copying”.
The storyline of the movie is
nothing that audiences haven’t witnessed before. It is about a RAW agent with a
code name of “Tiger”, played by Salman Khan and an ISI agent named Zoya, played
by “Katrina Kaif”. Tiger is sent on a mission to Dublin, just to observe the
movements of Indian scientist (Roshan Saith) because according to Tiger’s chief
Roshan might be involved in sharing some research finding with Pakistan’s
defense. There Tiger meets Zoya and their romance starts to blossom. After that
it’s a movie with lots of chase, lots of action and so many predictabilities.
ETT is a bravura combination of
multiple movies, script wise along with action sequences hugely inspired from
west. For instance the script of the movie is a combination of Mr. and Mrs.
Smith, One of the movies from James Bond’s series and a few more (in bits and
pieces). The most talked about action sequences of ETT are, also to huge extent,
copied from 2 blockbusters “Fast 5” (starting scene and when Kat and Sallu
escape from their hideout); the climax is again inspired from Expendable’s climax
when local Sly jumps from bridge on to the jet plane.
As far as the performances are
concerned, Salman is as usual – he is already a “STAR” and for stars
performances are not benchmarks (on the basis of past release like Dabbang,
Ready and Wanted). Salman Kan looks cute, sober and serious with this movie as
well. Katrina is a complete performer now! She surprises everyone with her
performance, dialogue delivery and hotness. Ranvir Shorey grabs the role
exceptionally well, there are scenes where he doesn’t even speak but his
presence is strongly felt – after a long time this actor is truly been
utilized. Direction is good, better than other recent Bollywood movies
(excluding GoW 1 and 2, Rockstar, Pan Sigh Tomar, Vicky Donor, Shanghai, Jannat 2, and a few others).
Music of ETT is nice – nothing
exceptional. Cinematography is worth experiencing – hats off to Aseem Mishra.
Watch this film if you are a
Salman Khan’s or Katrina’s fan; else there won’t be much for you in this fare.
