Ek tha Tiger

After the roaring success of "Dabaang", "Body guard" and  "wanted", yash Raj Films thought to encash the popularity and the rising brand image of salman Khan to produce this "Chat-Masala" film-Ek tha Tiger!  surely, Salman takes a lead ahead of Shahrukh , helped Yash Raj films to profit out of this useful venture and stamped his authority in Bollywood as a leader!
The film is supposed to have accumulated a record box office collection surpassing the previous best and so is the rating of the star in Salman Khan who is said to be on top of the billing chart!

Salman is an Indian secret agent (RAW) who after a successful stint of operations in Iraq is assigned yet another assignment and this time to keep a watch on the activities of a missile technology- scientist who has migrated to Ireland and is suspected to pass on valuable information to the enemy agents and naturally, the ISI of Pakistan!  He is assisted in his research work by the Pretty & Beautiful Katrina who is an ISI agent and trying to steal the information ahead.  salman befriends Katrina saying he is a writer and wants to write the biography of the professor for which he has to be with him all the time and observe him  and what follows is nothing but the witch hunt of both these agents by their respective agencies who want to make sure that they do not fall in love and elope to weaken the organisation that they work for!  The action sequences are amazingly pictured and can be compared to that of any  Hollywood action movie.

 The on screen chemistry between Salman and Katrina is a great treat and a relief to watch as they are said to be in a relation even in their true life which both of them deny!!
What seems idiotic is the introduction of yet another RAW agent Gopi who instead of focusing on the vulnerable job of spying and espionage starts pampering Salman by accepting his find in Katrina and acknowledging her as "Bhabi"!  This plot could have been avoided in the film to make it parallel to movies produced in Hollywood!!

Finally, the two lovers hoodwink their respective intelligence agencies with action packed chases and shoot outs where many get killed except the main stars who manage to escape in a waiting jet only after salman shoots a few of them, rides a mo bike with a speed so as to catch the jet just before taking off from the ground with a bullet injury in his back!!  The audience is so entertained and amused that whistles start blowing to see their Hero finally making it to escape with his Pakistani counter-part lover.  No one knows where the eloped couple live but keep getting footprints of their life without confirmation!!

The music by sajid-wajid is very good and specially the last song of Masha-allah compels the audience to stay back and glued to their seats just to watch their favourite pair of salman and Kat perform the dance sequence with so much of ease and style!
