We all were super excited for this Salman Khan starrer where he plays the role of a RAW agent who travels to exotic locations like Havana ,Ireland, Istanbul .The film started with shaky camera ,flying cigarette butts and currency notes which according to me was not the perfect entry for Salman.
The film dragged for another half an hour and many scenes reminded us of the fiasco called Agent Vinod .I was thinking that Wanted  had better dialogues, Dabangg had better music, Ready had better comic moments and Bodyguard  had a better looking and fitter Salman so what was there in this film which  will make it the top grossing film of the year.  

Post interval I got the answer to my question. The USP of the film is not it's action scenes or exotic locations. It's the chemistry between Salman and Katrina. Tiger feels such great love for Zoya which we keep reading in books. He is ready to lose his everything ,even bet his own life for his lady love. Even the cynics will feel something when Salman says , "Jab pyar ho raha tha tab kisine bataya nahi ki dushman hai, aur ab pyar ho gaya hai to koyi bata nahi raha ki dushman kyon hai  ?"

Salman has done everything which his fans expect ,danced ,done some bone breaking action scenes and taken off his shirt too ! There is no one liner in the film like  mujhpar ek ehsaaan karna /  ek baar  main commitment kar deta hoon, which stay in everyone's memory even after the film is long forgotten . 

Katrina has done a  good job.Most of the times she just had to look pretty but she has done some action sequences too.

Girish Karnad and Ranbeer Shorey did justice to their small roles. 

One thing which I missed while watching the film was the audience's applause and whistles which is a common feature in every Salman film . There was just one scene near the climax where everyone clapped which you will know when you watch it. 


In a line it's better to watch the film as soon as possible and get over the tiger obsession .
Good timepass and post interval paisa-vasool. Can be seen in theater with family.
