Ek Tha Tiger (2012) Review: The Spy Romance That Opened YRF’s Universe

★★★☆☆ 3/5

Kabir Khan, Salman Khan, and Katrina Kaif in Dublin and Istanbul — RAW-agent charm as a travel brochure, and the film that made Tiger a franchise instead of a one-off.

Watchable franchise zero — romance over tradecraft, and the IMDb is hotter than the craft.
