Ek Tha Tiger - - - Jo nikla Billi!
Star Rating
*
Salman Khan (Tiger), looking stressed, depressed but
still well dressed, beats up and breaks more than his usual share of bones and
furniture, but takes off his shirt just once.
Katrina Kaif(Zoya), botox-ed to stretched perfection
and collagen-ed to acquire lips as full as Mick Jagger’s, breezes through the
script togged out stylishly and emotes effortlessly, and she isn’t around when
he takes his shirt off, just once.
Audience, goes with great expectations, drags
reluctant Husband promising him a blockbuster film and performances, waits for
both, and for Tiger to bare it all.
Movie starts, audience travels through picturesque,
well shot locales of Iran, Delhi, Istanbul and Havana, and realizes that Tiger
still hasn’t taken off his shirt, in a single country.
As a RAW officer, Tiger effortlessly climbs buildings,
swings for one to the other, stops trams, dances, sings, falls in love, but
STILL doesn’t remove his shirt.
Zoya, our friendly neighborhood ISI officer
accompanies him in most of his escapades, calling him a ‘Kaddu’, perhaps
because he hasn’t removed his shirt.
Love happens, followed by heartbreak, when they realize
their respective professions *psssssstttttt, shirt still on! *stamping feet on
ground!*
Enter hirsute, fellow RAW officer, Gopi (Ranvir
Sheory) who chides Tiger, then helps him plan an escape with ‘Bhabhiji’
*Finally removes shirt in a blink and you miss it moment. Audience blinked*
Tiger realizes that he hasn’t ever climbed into an
ascending aircraft from a speeding motorcycle and does just that and Zoya and
Tiger escape into oblivion, leaving the chance of a sequel to be filmed.
Audience hides face at choice of films, directs a sideways
glance at Husband who sarcastically calls film a blockbuster and laments the
fact that Tiger removed his shirt, just bleddy once!
