Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) in Google Drive free
It’s a tense day in North Syria. Forty Indian and Pakistani nurses have been abducted by a terrorist group ISC (read ISIS). Tiger (Salman Khan) is the special agent RAW has appointed for the rescue mission. He is about to enter the danger zone when his wife and Pakistani agent Zoya (Katrina Kaif) whispers in his ear, “Apna khayal rakhna (take care).” In response, Salman Khan smiles sarcastically as if this is the most insignificant wish on earth.
A hiatus of eight years, spent in different European countries, hasn’t changed Tiger from inside. He is 45 now, thank God for that, and his heart still bleeds for India. But age is just a number for Salman Khan, so he fights wolves to give us a glimpse of his physical prowess. From skiing like Vin Diesel to fighting like Batman, he assures us of his everlasting youth. At some point, he will have to remove his shirt too. This is all a prelude to that ultimate, orgasmic moment for his fans.
Ali Abbas Zafar, the new director of the franchise, sees Salman Khan as a guy who is on the cusp of maturity, if not already there. After Sultan, he has given Salman a window of another five years, and he plays a father in the film. This also serves Salman’s popular image of a guy who is a hit with the kids, a do-gooder by nature. It’s better for the filmmakers to set a character trajectory that matches the star’s current image rather than basking in the glory of the past.
Khan’s Tiger is blessed with dry humour, but Zafar fails to capitalise on that front. That would have added depth to the mostly lonely agent we have seen in the original film, Ek Tha Tiger (2012).
