Ek Tha Tiger

Bollywood does not make much movies on espionage, Agent Vinod and Ek Tha Tiger (ETT) are only 2 agent movies to come out of Bollywood in recent times.

Agent Tiger is a RAW agent who falls in love with a Pakistani ISI agent Zoya (Katrina) whom he meets during a mission.  Both of them decide to stick together even as ISI and RAW tries to capture them.   Girish Karnad plays the role of Shenoy, Tiger's Boss, and Ranvir Shorey is Gopi, Tiger's friend and colleague.

The movie is not a full blooded agent movie, but then we do not make such movies here, do we? ;).....One thought that kept me amused was about Jason Bourne, the amnesic agent from Bourne Series, poor Bourne, if only he had been an ISI or RAW agent, he would have surely been able to survive with his gal and live happily ever after as these two agencies are quite lenient (read fools/idiots/nincompoops - at least that is what ETT makes us believe)  towards absconding agents.

Overall it offers what an average Salman Khan fan would love to watch i.e. some comedy, good stunts, with scenes shot in Iraq, Istanbul and Cuba, and as the story moves at a fast pace, it is an interesting watch,  and a must watch if  you are a Salman Khan fan.

I watched it on TV and before I knew what was the back-story of Katrina, I had fallen asleep. When I woke up, some serial was going on and all I remember is I fell asleep again after switching off the TV !
