Talkie Tuesday: Tiger 3

 

"Dictatorship cannot replace democracy."

 

 Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back.

 

Tonight's movie of choice FINALLY completes my journey into the YRF Spyverse, until such a time as I can get my hands on ALPHA, the newest installment.

 

I'm working on it, okay. These things take time!

 

But I sat down to watch the third in the Tiger-centered movies while I was on vacation at the seaside this year, and I have to admit I honestly always forget just how much FUN these movies are.

 

I mean, are they factually accurate all the time? No.

 

Do they generally make me laugh and roll my eyes at the antics of the protagonists, as well as overall amuse me throughout? Yep.

 

In the end, that's all that matters, isn't it?

 

So without further ado: Tiger 3!

 

Talkie Tuesday: Tiger Zinda Hai

 

"We cannot let politics get in the way of humanity."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Back to Bollywood I go - of course, what else is there? - to continue where we left off last week.

 

Last week, if you remember, we took a look at the first movie of the YRF Spy Universe, although at the time it wasn't actually that. Turns out, the Powers That Be decided only after tonight's choice and WAR aired that they're going to connect it all and come full circle.

 

I mean, if it's not baroque, amirite?

 

But regardless.

 

For us, now, this is the second movie in the spyverse, and I have to admit that it's the first ACTUAL spy movie in the universe that brings all the cards to the table: action, nail-biting suspense, a sprinkle of romance, and a good dose of humour so you don't end up flatlining out of pure boredom. 

 

So without further ado, get those fancy scarfs out.

 

It's time we take a look at Tiger Zinda Hai.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Ek Tha Tiger

 

"The day you follow your heart, consider yourself dead."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Have you missed my forays into Bollywood?

 

Well, say no more!

 

Tonight, we're going back to where it ALL started.

 

Okay, maybe not everything, but we're definitely going back to where the YRF spyverse actually began, although doing some digging it turns out that the first three movies were actually considered standalones until Pathaan came along and tied them all together.

 

I guess you just need SRK to make it a family party, right?

 

Anyway, the movie we'll be talking about tonight is a respectable age old at this point in time, going toward the 15 year marker, so it's been a bit, and honestly it occasionally shows its age in that there are plenty of the 2010s tropes in there you can recognize.

 

But it's also a neat action movie, so let's jump into Ek Tha Tiger!
