Tiger Zinda Hai Was Anyway Unbelievable. What Watching It In A Post-Pahalgam World Is Like
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. Tiger Zinda Hai, starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, is about India and Pakistan fighting a common enemy. In the film, India's RAW and Pakistan's ISI agents rescue nurses from an Iraq-based terrorist group. Despite its positive reception, the film's premise of unity feels unrealistic in today's geopolitical climate. Eight years ago, the promise of the two neighbours joining forces against a common enemy was unbelievable. But Salman Khan's RAW agent Tiger and Katrina Kaif's ISI agent Zoya, also a married couple, made it possible in Tiger Zinda Hai. But over a month after the Pahalgam attack and India's retaliatory air strikes under Operation Sindoor, it sounds ludicrous. While its part one Ek Tha Tiger (2012) took the classic enemies-to-lovers approach, Tiger Zinda Hai asks us to believe in insaaniyat and unite with Pakistanis against a common enemy, an idea that's now impossible even in movies. The 2017 film was reviewed better than most of Salman Khan's last string of releases and managed to collect over Rs 550 crore in reported earnings from what now looks a meagre Rs 120-130 crore budget. It also saw Katrina reprise her role of ISI agent Zoya, the first woman spy in the Yash Raj Films' ambitious spy verse. Even though it was released over a year after the deadly 2016 Uri attack on an Indian Army base in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri, Tiger Zinda Hai - based on a real incident - wasn't interested in taking stock of recent history. It, instead, offered us a promise. Scratch that, it was more like a far-fetched dream. In Tiger Zinda Hai, director Ali Abbas Zafar makes India and Pakistan join forces to rescue a group of nurses from both the countries from the clutches of ISC, an Iraq-based terrorist organisation obviously modelled on the much-feared terror group ISIS, in the fictional city of Ikrit which stood in for the real Tikrit where the incident happened in 2014. Before their fateful encounter with the terrorists, these nurses are shown sharing a working women's hostel in Ikrit. They discuss issues back home, use the same tiffin service, and sing Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge for a would-be-bride (Anupriya Goenka) among them, just before they get caught in the crosshairs between the terrorists and troops of the Iraqi Army. Anupriya Goenka, as one of the captive nurses, in a still from Tiger Zinda Hai. Cut to Tiger and Zoya's home in Innsbruck, Austria, where table flags of India and Pakistan are kept next to each other on a bookshelf. There's India on the right, Pakistan on the left. Karan, one of Tiger's RAW colleagues played by Anant Vidhaat, however, is a true patriot. He has heard stories about Tiger and they finally meet when he and RAW Chief Shenoy (essayed by the late Girish Karnad) track down the star spy after five long years. As Shenoy and Tiger catch up and talk about the latter's famous kaali daal, in one of the film's blink-and-you-will-miss-it moments, Karan quietly rearranges those table flags on the shelf. He puts them at a certain distance, marking this invisible LOC between the neighbouring countries. Now, Karan is a much younger and more 'serious about his task' agent than Tiger. He is perhaps the new Indian who wants to deliver justice Uri style or more recently, Operation Sindoor style in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack. He is telling the viewer that it may all be like Hum Saath Saath Hain in the world of Tiger and Zoya, but where he lives, back in New Delhi, Pakistan is THE enemy. Twenty six people, mostly tourists, were killed on April 22 by Pakistani terrorists, and Karan from 2017 serves as a reminder to us, there in the movie and today in 2025. Family Man Tiger, now a father, doesn't want to go for the mission. But Zoya convinces him, reminding him that loves his country more than he does her and she "respects him" for that. Salman Khan in a still from Tiger Zinda Hai. So, Tiger is back on the prowl, and so is Zoya, as it's not just that Indian nurses need rescuing but Pakistanis also. An emphatic Zoya says, " Aam Pakistani bhi toh aman hee chahta hai." She is on a mission to restore respect for her country and tell the world that Pakistan stands for peace. In a Eureka moment, Tiger suggests, "Let's do it together. There are many problems between our two countries and they may never get resolved. But this is about humanity." Salman Bhai, after all, is all for being human (no advertisement plug). That's how India's RAW and Pakistan's ISI embark on their first joint mission in the history of bhai -kind. RAW and ISI on a joint mission - The cast of Tiger Zinda Hai in a still from the film. From there ensue many LOL moments. Paresh Rawal, who also stars in the film as RAW's undercover agent in Iraq named Firdaus, is puzzled when he finds out about the joint mission. " PM ko pata hai ISI aur RAW saath mein kaam kar rahe hain?" FYI - Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been India's head of state since 2014, Tiger Zinda Hai released in 2017, and Rawal almost played the PM in a biopic. Even the main antagonist Abu Usman (Sajjad Delafrooz) is impressed by Tiger's charisma. He says, " Aapne woh kar diya jo aapki governments tak nahin kar paayin." Abu Usman is eventually killed and together, of course, Tiger and Zoya save the nurses, both Indian and Pakistani. The 'India on the right, Pakistan on the left' is repeated like a callback towards the end of the film. Azaan, the good Indian Muslim who wanted to hoist the tricolour in Iraq after the mission was successful, is shot protecting ISI agent Abrar. Just before he's fatally wounded, he asks his Pakistani counterpart to raise the tricolour on his behalf in case he doesn't make it. It's a Salman Khan film, so there will be bhai -hood. Abrar's fellow ISI agent Javed reminds him of his farz towards his saviour. The viewer then sees Abrar raise the Indian national flag high up in the sky through the bus's window. Then, Indian bomb and explosion expert Namit asks Javed to also hoist the Pakistani flag. Sweet, pretty much like the exchange of sweets between the Border Security Force (BSF) and the Pakistan Rangers at the Attari-Wagah border on festivals and events of national importance. The flags of India and Pakistan are together again, up in the sky, at a distance. And that distance shall remain, at least for the foreseeable future.

Virat Kohli deserves it more than anyone else: Patidar after leading RCB to maiden IPL title
After 18 years of hurt and disappointment, and a final that ebbed and flowed, when newly-crowned IPL champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar got a chance to say "Ee Sala Cup Namdu" (this year the cup is ours), the fans roared. But when he said that " Virat Kohli deserved it more than anyone else", the cheers were deafening as the legend grinned from ear to ear. "It is really special for me, for Virat Kohli, and all the fans. Those who have supported for years, they all deserve it. It's a great opportunity for me and a great learning for me to captain Kohli, he deserves it more than anyone else," Patidar said after the final here on Tuesday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You Won't Believe What Homes Cost in Batna Homes Cost | Search Ads Learn More Undo Talisman Kohli praised Patidar's captaincy through the tournament and tossed his bat at him during the dressing room celebrations, and the skipper was seen kissing the willow in a show of respect. Also Read: Operation Sindoor may have played a role in RCB finally winning IPL after 18 years Live Events "Rajat led from the front, led with composure, his bowling changes, his calmness was absolutely phenomenal through the tournament," Kohli said. "Heartbreak corner... no more. "What a turnaround. From injury replacement to IPL-winning captain. Bloody hell...," Kohli said of Patidar as he entered the dressing room. It was at this very venue that India lost the final of the 2023 World Cup to Australia after an unbeaten run to the title clash, with Kohli in imperious form. Also Read: Virat Kohli dedicates RCB's maiden IPL trophy to AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, says 'It is as much theirs as mine' "Very difficult to explain, man," Kohli said to the RCB cameraman. "I think I am going to feel the real side of it when we get to Bengaluru tomorrow, and celebrate it with the city and the fans who have stood with us through thick and thin. So I am just relieved. "Full bunch of match winners. People stepping up at different stages and putting their hands up to get the job done for the team. To have that hunger and confidence in them. "I am just glad that I could do it with RCB," Kohli signed off. Patidar felt that 190 was a par score on a strip which was on the slower side. "After the Qualifier, we thought that we can go through. I think 190 was a good score on this track as it was a bit slow. Bowlers executing their plans was tremendous to watch." He praised Player of the Match Krunal Pandya for his 2/17 that became the game-changer. "Krunal is a wicket-taking bowler. I look for him whenever we need wickets. Suyash and the pacers were good all season. Shepherd gave the key wicket tonight." We will come back next year and lift the Cup A "dejected" Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer believed that fearless newcomers have been the biggest plus for the franchise which would come out all guns blazing next season to win an elusive IPL crown. "Proud of each individual in our team, a lot of youngsters played their first season. Their fearlessness was phenomenal. Job is still half done, we have to win it next year. The way we turned up to every game was a positive, they've gained a lot of experience and we can build on that next year," the PBKS skipper said. He felt that a total of less than 200 was a par score on this track. "They bowled excellently. Krunal was phenomenal, used his experience, that was the turning point."
