Production

Development

In May 2011, reports claimed that Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif would come together for a film titled Ek Tha Tiger.[6] The script for the film had been completed in November 2010,[7] and underwent changes in February 2012.[8] It was Khan's first venture with Yash Raj Films and marked his fourth film opposite Katrina after Yuvvraj.[6] Before starting the film, he postponed a project titled Sher Khan by his brother Sohail Khan, as he had to allot his dates.[9] His fee for the venture was 32 crore (US$3.8 million).[10] The film was also one of Katrina's first in the action genre.[11] Ranvir Shorey was signed in for a supporting role.[12] Kabir Khan was announced to be the director.[6] On May 3, a photo shoot was held with the lead actors.[7] Later, Punjabi actor Gavie Chahal signed in for a character named Abrar in Ek Tha Tiger, which happens to be his Bollywood debut.[13]

Filming

Initial reports claimed that principal photography[14] would start by June 2011.[6] The first schedule began on September 2011 in Dublin, Ireland. It had previously been postponed for a short time, when Khan set off to USA for a surgery regarding his condition of Trigeminal neuralgia.[15] Filming took place at the Trinity college,[16] and the Ha'penny Bridge. A set of action sequences were also shot in the city.[17] During filming in Dublin, the Irish crew of the film held a demonstration and halted the shooting temporarily, reportedly due to filming conditions and payment.[18] The filming of the second schedule took place in Istanbul for two months.[19] In February 2012, the film’s cast and crew went to Havana, Cuba, to shoot for one month.[20] There, Khan shot a cameo scene for a local tourism company. The sets used in the film were featured in the ad.[21] Following the period, script issues resulted in the postponement of the film’s planned shoot in Hong Kong.[22] Afterwards, a three day schedule was completed in Delhi.[23] The filming ended in June 2012 after the last schedule was shot in Bangkok.[24] Khan had to undergo a fitness programme titled 'Dirty Running' for his action sequences over 30 days.[25] Kaif played her role without makeup.[26]

Soundtrack

Initially, Pritam was signed as the composer of Ek Tha Tiger. The first digital poster of the film credited him as such.[27] However, he opted out of the film later due to date clashes with yet an other Yash Raj projects, Dhoom 3. Chopra, who had worked with Sohail Sen's in their film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, roped him in to compose for the film.[28] The lyrics were penned by Neelesh Misra.[29] A song titled Jaaniyan which had vocals by Asif Nawaz, a Pakistani artist was reported to have been leaked from the film's soundtrack. However, YRF officials denied the news, saying that the album was not in any danger of being leaked.[30] A single track named "Mashallah" crooned by Wajid Ali and Shreya Ghoshal was released on 12th July 2012.[31]

Critical response

Following the soundtrack's release on July 19, critics unanimously gave positive reviews to the album. Critic Joginder Tuteja felt that none of the songs "puts you off", but still emphasized that "one expected it to have gone all the way further up". He gave it 3.5 stars out of 5.[32] Contrarily, the Indo-Asian News Service rated the album 4 stars and claimed that the audio "offers the listener the romantic and action flavour of the movie", calling it "an entertaining affair with an array of sounds for music lovers." However, the song 'Banjaara' was noted as a "an ordinary composition with overtly simple lyrics."[33] Devesh Sharma of the Filmfare magazine felt that the album had a "situational feel" and was a "tad disappointing" as compared to the "pulsating music" in Khan's previous films. He rated it 4 stars.[34] Purva Desai of the Times of India, while calling the album a "good effort, fresh and new", rated it 4 stars, but still felt that the remixes could have been "skipped".[35]

Marketing

The first-look poster was released in August 2011,[36] whilst the film's first teaser was released on May 10, 2012 along with the film Ishaqzaade.[37][38] The theatrical trailer received more than 1 million views upon release within 2 days, making it the largest for a Bollywood film.[39] Promotional tours were carried out in the cities of New Delhi, Ahmedabad,[40] and Lucknow.[41] The makers tied up with soft drink company Thumbs up and engaged in a consumer promotion across 10 Indian cities. These were New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Kanpur, Allahabad, Agra, Meerut and Ghaziabad.[42]

As a part of the promotion, an event was held to launch a series of comic books based on the film. Referred to with the term 'Yomics' or 'Ycomics', their sales commenced on July 2012, before the film's release, and would continue until the Diwali festival.[43] The books were 30 pages long and also consisted of characters from the film Hum Tum. The first one was titled 'Ek Tha Tiger - Mahasagar Ki Suraksha'. Post release, the comics failed to generate a positive word-of-mouth. Reviewer Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama commended the design, but explained that the main story failed to meet his expectations of a "deeper" plot, "exciting" narrative and a "tighter" script.[44]

Release

Ek Tha Tiger released worldwide on August 15, the Independence day of India. It was screened in 3300 screens over the country, marking the largest domestic release for a Bollywood film.[45] Around 60 percent of the first weekend sales received an advanced booking prior to the release.[46] Selected multiplexes increased the ticket prices of the film above the normal rate.[47] The film did not release in Pakistan, a major market for Bollywood films, due to the Pakistani censors' analysis that it was showing the country in negative light.[48] Director Kabir Khan had earlier claimed that it was not so.[49]

Critical reception

India

Ek Tha Tiger received positive to mixed reviews from Indian critics.Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated the film 4.5 stars out of 5 and termed it as a "high octane" thriller that "works big time", having "style and substance, both, besides dazzling action, stunning international locales and stylish execution." He refers to Salman Khan as the "trump card of this enterprise."[50] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars and praised the "smart" script, "sharply focussed" screenplay, visuals and the performances of the cast. However, he felt that the "few and far" romance made the film "slow down a little", concluding that the film could not be termed as "great cinema", but wasn't "just harmless fun."[51] Aniruddha Guha of the Daily News and Analysis gave it 3.5 stars and claimed that the film was "a full-blown Hindi film, with desh prem, farz and mohabbat as part of the recipe", concluding by calling it an "out-and-out Salman Khan film", which was "smart and stylish."[52] Based on 47 reviews, review aggregate site desimartini.com gave the film the verdict, "The romantic chemistry doesn't soar but the thrilling action sequences and Salman save the day. A one time watch." The site's average audience rating is 3.5/5.[53]

Gaurav Malani of The Times of India praised the film saying "Director Kabir Khan commendably balances the love story and the spy drama, with each element taking precedence at different junctures in the film as per the requirement. Chopra's story is credibly crafted into a riveting screenplay by Neelesh Misra and Kabir Khan. Salman Khan carries an urbane charm and looks uber-cool dressed in formals. He is resourcefully restrained sans his customary buffoonery. His acting ability is best exploited in this film after a long long time.Ek Tha Tiger, by far, is Salman Khan's most entertaining and accomplished works in recent times."[54] Anupama Chopra of Hindustan Times gave it 3 out of 5 stars and said that the film was Khan's best since Dabangg and had more of a story as well as greater coherence and emotion than both Ready and Bodyguard put together. She remarked, "In places, Ek Tha Tiger becomes downright silly. So the modus operandi might be to think of it as a fairy tale with spies and guns".[55] Shruti Dutta of Independent Bollywood gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and said, "Though atleast a one time watch, as the name itself suggest a sense of existence in the past – Ek ‘Tha’ Tiger; its hero does and will continue to exist as the ‘Tiger’ in thy kingdom!"[56]

Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars noting "Despite its obvious flaws, 'Ek Tha Tiger' is far from unwatchable.At best, it's a satisfying watch. Just don't go in with high expectations."[57] Jahanavi Samant of Mid Day gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and said, "Ek Tha Tiger is unable to decide whether it is a spy action film or a soppy love saga."[58]

The film received some negative reviews as well. Kunal Guha of Yahoo movies gave it 1 out of 5 stars and said, "If you thought Agent Vinod made a Ronald McDonald out of the genre, Ek Tha Tiger takes a mousey tail and sticks it up his nose for Salman to swing from ear to ear."[59] Blogger Mihir Fadnavis gave it 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "A film of unremitting idiocy disguised as an upmarket big budget action movie, Ek Tha Tiger is about as reprehensible as masala comes, even in our decreasingly intellectual times.[60] Pratim Dutta of The Telegraph gave 4/10, 5/10 and 5/10 stars for the film's script, acting and direction respectively.[61] Mohammed Kamran Jawaid of Dawn termed the movie un-lively and said "Khan’s powerhouse charisma is enough to tug the movie to worldwide “financial” success. Critical success? Not so much."[62][63] Bollywood portal Films of India said, "The movie is all that it was hyped up to be, it is full on entertainment Sallu style. Salman's mere presence ensures that you get your money's worth and this movie which has been made on a huge scale will rock the box office."[63]

Overseas

The film received positive to mixed reception overseas. Ronnie Scheib of Variety reviewed,"Kaif displays some impressive moves in her action-heroine debut, while Salman Khan's thinking-on-his-feet immediacy adds depth to his usual macho muscle. Local auds will no doubt derive a special thrill from the onscreen reunion of stars Khan and Kaif, once an offscreen item. Slickly produced 'Tiger' profits greatly from Aseem Mishra's gorgeous location lensing."[64] Rubina A Khan of The First Post wrote, "The director, has a firm grip on the story and the screen play, without compromising on the entertainment value of the film at all. There's everything and more in Ek Tha Tiger that you'd want to see in a film – good looking lead cast, story, glamour, an endearing romance, some laughs, picturesque locations, thrilling and exquisite action, patriotism and most importantly, a good time at the movies!"[65] Tuhin of Gulf News said, "The camerawork is outright bad, with the body doubles' faces very visible during the action scenes. Kaif, who has tried her hand at the stunts, is, however, fairly convincing. Though the pace could have been faster, it is a delight to watch Khan and Kaif together, resulting in a great Eid offering for Sallu fans".[66] The New York Times gave a mixed review, praising the action scenes but criticizing the characters' romance as "cookie-cutter bland".[67]
