Engaging storyline: The film’s storyline has been inspired from true events in 2014 when Indian diplomatic corps with possible help from intelligence agencies underwent a discreet rescue mission to save 46 Indian nurses held captive by the ISIS. The event happened a few months after Narendra Modi took up the mantle of Prime Ministership in India. The story has grit, pace and a fair amount of high-octane action with sequences which are highly-entertaining that makes up for an immersive watch. The climax is a bit long-drawn but is definitely worth a watch. (Twitter)
Fascinating screenplay: Being a sequel, Tiger Zinda Hai manages to weave into the earlier storyline quite seamlessly which makes the screenplay highly engaging. Neelesh Mishra and Ali Abbas Zafar’s story offers a melange of romance, action, drama, humour with a subtle pinch of patriotism. The India-Pakistan angle with a message for peace played out in the film is the highlight which has been inserted throughout the entire film that promises to leave the audience with a bittersweet aftertaste.

Sublime act by Salman Khan: Salman Khan has easily emerged as the surprise act in the film who delivers a stellar performance unlike his earlier spells with Tubelight and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. Salman Khan is the reason many would prefer to re-watch the film at theatres. Words like superstar and stardom take a backseat while Salman Khan-the actor emerges with sublime acting and brilliant improvisations which makes him more relatable to a spy. (Twitter) 
Lyrics: Vishal-Shekhar has done a brilliant work with the lyrics and melody of Tiger Zinda Hai as every song is picturised beautifully with idyllic landscapes that raises the heat in the film. Song ‘Tera Noor’ is the best experience of the film that has been weaved with a contrasting situation which is quite unusual in Bollywood. (Bollywood Hungama) 
Cinematography: Marsin Laskawiec has elevated the film to another level with his lucid cinematography. His cinematography has captured the sequences with such elegance that the film has set world standards for itself and coupled with intense action which is not too grotesque Tiger Zinda Hai is the film Bollywood lovers have been waiting for in 2017.
