Tiger 3 Review
The film has opened to mostly positive reviews from viewers and critics alike.
ABP Live's review of the film read: " The element of surprise that enriches even foreseeable content is missing in 'Tiger 3'. Even Pathaan's entrance moment is a bit stretched out and the scenarios have a formulaic feel. It could serve to ramp up the excitement, but it goes against the appeal of unexpectedness. On top of that, while some of the fight scenes are masterfully concocted, there are moments when the choreography seems hasty.”
