New movie released in Navi Mumbai
By Dinesh Kamath
Tiger Zinda Hai

Tiger Zinda Hai (English: Tiger is Alive) is an Indian action thriller film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. The film stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Sajjad Delfrooz. And Angad Bedi, Kumud Mishra and Nawab Shah in supporting roles. It is the second in the franchise after 2012 Ek Tha Tiger and the second installment of Tiger film series. The film is based on the 2014 abduction of Indian nurses by ISIL.
The movie has an interesting story. East Indian agent Tiger joins forces with Pakistani agent Zoya to battle a ruthless militant. A sequel to the record-breaking blockbuster 'Ek Tha Tiger', 'Tiger Zinda Hai' continues the story of two super spies Tiger and Zoya eight years later. Paresh Rawal, Kumud Mishra, Angad Bedi and Katrina Kaif have given good performances. Paresh Rawal impresses with his histrionics, his uncouth, cut throat character and lends humour to his scenes with his phone's ‘Chandni’ ringtone. Kumud Mishra’s Hanuman Chalisa fixation draws a few laughs and Angad Bedi as Tiger’s accomplice makes a mark. Katrina Kaif in her lithe, well-toned body wows us with her stunts. She dares to look ugly in a few scenes and that adds to her character in the film. The premise of Tiger Zinda Hai is inspired by the real-life rescue operation of 46 nurses taken as hostages by ISIS in Iraq in 2014. The film maker has made an attempt to present this story from the point of humanitarian issues that cut across religion and race. He has looked at the emotional side, without making political statements.
The film has Salman Khan as Tiger/Avinash Singh Rathore, Katrina Kaif as Zoya, Sajjad Delfrooz as Abu Usman, Sudeep as Zahir, Pakistani ISI agent, Angad Bedi as Navin, Kumud Mishra as Tiger's Team Member, Girish Karnad as Shenoy, Anjalie Gupta as Maria, Neha Hinge as Nafisa, Ivan Rodrigues as India's Ambassador to Iraq and Nawab Shah.

The film soundtrack, has 6 songs. All lyrics written by Irshad Kamil; all music composed by Vishal–Shekhar. The film has songs like "Swag Se Swagat" sung by Vishal Dadlani & Neha Bhasin, "Dil Diyan Gallan" by Atif Aslam, "Zinda Hai" (Tiger Theme by Julius Packiam) by Sukhwinder Singh, Rap by Raftaar, "Daata Tu" by Shreya Ghoshal, "Tera Noor" by Jyoti Nooran and "Dil Diyan Gallan" (Unplugged) by Neha Bhasin.
