Plot
Somewhere
in
North
Syria,
an
American
journalist
finds
himself
in
the
clutches
of
an
Islamic
terror
outfit
called
ISC
and
ends
up
being
executed.
The
narrative
then
moves
to
a
contingent
of
40
nurses
(25
Indian
and
15
Pakistani)
who
are
taken
as
hostages
in
a
hospital
by
the
ISC
chief
Abu
Usman
(Sajjad
Delafrooz)
after
he
gets
injured
in
an
ISC-American
air-strike.
The
RAW
Chief
Shenoy
(Girish
Karnad)
knows
only
one
man
can
face
this
terror.
Tiger
Zinda
Hai!
Meanwhile,
our
main
man
(Salman
Khan)
is
now
living an
idyllic,
domesticated
life
with
his
wife
Zoya
(the
undercover
agent
from
Pakistan)
and
their
son
Junior.
'Shikaar
toh
sab
karte
hai,
lekin
Tiger
se
behtar
shikaar
koi
nahi
karta,' says
our
hero
to
his
little
one
before
he
singlehandedly
takes a
pack
of
bloodthirsty
wolves
to
task
when
they
go
camping
in
Austrian
Alps.
Eight
years
have
passed
but
his
tiger
still
has
his
claws
sharp!
Soon,
Shenoy
tracks him
and
asks
him
to
head
the
rescue
mission
of
the
abducted
nurses
in
Iraq?
It's
'Chutti
over,
back
to
work!
for
our
exiled
Tiger!
Direction
Ali
Abbas
Zafar
takes
over
the
directorial
reins
from
Kabir
Khan
who
helmed
Ek
Tha
Tiger
and
doesn't
let
you
down.
Tiger
Zinda
Hai
has
all
the
ingredients
of
a
typical
Salman
Khan
entertainer
in
the
right
proportions.
Ali
doesn't
lose
a
single
opportunity
to
cash
in
on
the
superstar's
heroism
in
this
espionage
thriller.
But
whose
complaining
as
long
as
he
does
it
convincingly
and
satiates
your
entertainment
quotient
hunger?
Be
it
the
romance
of
the
camera
lens
with
Salman's
flexing
muscles
in
the
machine
gun
sequence
or
his
slo-mo
shots
in
a
couple
of
action
sequences!
Having
said
that,
this
testosterone-laced
outing
comes
with
its
set
of
flaws.
Thankfully,
the
hypothetical
setting
of
the
plot
allows
you
to
defy
logic
and
go
along
with
the
flow.
TZH
drags
at
certain
places
and
the
last
10-15
minutes
leave
you
with
a
little
dismay.
Action
takes
a
front
seat
in
this
flick
which
may
not
appeal
to
those
who
are
looking
out
for
romance
like
in
the
first
installment.
Performances
After
the
disastrous
Tubelight
early
this
year,
Salman
Khan
is
back
in
action.
But
this
time,
as
a
swashbuckling
hero
who
is
in full
form!
You
have
got
him
here
pumping
iron
bullets,
let
his
vehicles
do
a
sommersault,
battle
a
pack
of
hungry
wolves,
do
waltz
with his
lady
love,
mouth
his
unwavering
patriotic
dialogues
and
flaunt
his
swag.
Bhai-fans
are
going
to
love
him
for
all
this!
Katrina
Kaif
is
yet
to
master
her
emotional
scenes
but
wham!
she's
a
total
knock-out
when
it
comes
to
pummelling her
opponents to
the
ground.
Watch
out
for
her
in
'Tera
Noor' track!
Paresh
Rawal's
slimy
character
evokes
genuine
chuckles
and
he's
on
fire
in
the
first
half.
But
post
interval,
his
character
loses
his
sheen
after
a
major
revelation
and
nevertheless,
he
leaves
an
impact.
Sajjad
Delafrooz
as
the
main
villain
does
a
commendable
job
and
sticks
to
the
character
like
his
second
skin.
Angad
Bedi
and
Kumud
Mishra
put
up
a
good
show.
The
camaraderie
between
the
agents
during
the
mission
is
strikingly
enjoyable.
Technical
Aspects
Tiger
Zinda
Hai
has
been
lavishly
shot
and that
reflects
in
each
and
every
frame
of
the
film.
Hollywood
action
director
Tom
Struthers
puts
up
a
spectacular
show
with
his
action
sequences,
be
it
the
car
chases,
the
oil
tank
explosions
or
the
shoot-outs!
Music
Dil
Diyaan
Gallan
is
a
soothing
romantic
ballad
shot
in
picturesque
locations
and
leave
you
with
a
dreamy
feeling.
Tera
Noor
plays
in
the
narrative
and
adds
more
drama.
Swag
Se
Swagat
finds
itself
during
the
closing
credits
and
gets
you
groovy.
Verdict
With
masculinity
in
full
display,
Salman
Khan
makes
sure
you
get
over
his
'forgetable'
last
film
and
don't
take
your
eyes
off
this
visual
spectacle.
In
a
nutshell,
Tiger
Zinda
Hai
and
he's
got a
'sure-shot'
winner
in
his
hand!
