Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated the film 4.5 stars out of 5 and termed the film 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." Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars, praising the screenplay and romance and commenting, "Ek Tha Tiger isn't what one whould rate as great cinema, but it isn't just harmless fun. Iit distances itself appreciably from the established norms of the action-packed Salman Khan movies, [and] makes enough sense for the most part to blow away the air of scepticism."Aniruddha Guha of DNA rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and noting Ek Tha Tiger is probably Hindi cinema's best action film yet. "Ek Tha Tiger, at the end of the day, is an out-and-out Salman Khan film. But it's the rare well-made one. It's escapist, but it has style. Go watch.
Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave movie 2.5 out of 5 saying that the movie has got the plot unlike Salman's previous movies like Ready and Bodyguard,but unfortunately the plot was one line.He advised not to go to movie with high expectations. Gaurav Malani of 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.".Anupama Chopra of HIndustan Times rated movie better than Ready and Bodyguard and gave it 3 out of 5. She said"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".
Gayatri Sankar of Zee News gave the movie 2 out of 5 said " Kabir Khan fails to impress; film thoroughly disappointing "Kunal Guha of Yahoo movies gave movie 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."[ Rohit Vats of CNN-IBN in his tweet review rated it 2 out of 5 and said "Ek tha tiger is especially meant for the audiences who made 'Bodyguard' & 'Ready' hits."
Only Taran rated it 4.5 baaki sab havent given it anything great. Either average or bad. Still confused whether I should go for it or not. Promos looked nice.. Errr.
