Being Salman

I am not a Salman Khan fan at all, but I went to watch “Tiger 3.” I liked the film very much. Salman and Katrina Kaif looked as usual great together. Even Emraan Hashmi did a great job in this film.

It was wonderful to see Shah Rukh Khan and Salman in one frame. Some of the action scenes in this film are almost like Hollywood films. I know Salman's films have always been entertaining.

I always admire Bollywood films for their entertainment value.  I love all kinds of films Bollywood makes. I enjoy the diversity Bollywood offers, from comedy to romance to action.

I happened to read a few reviews on “Tiger 3.”  A few critics and YouTubers did not like the film, but I liked every aspect of the film.

People watch Bollywood films for their songs, dialogues and action.  We want to be entertained.  We don’t go to watch realistic cinema, we have enough novels and news channels around us which show us realism.

A film is a film and should always be looked that way. We don’t expect films to preach us about morality or humanity.  A film is supposed to entertain us. Therefore, I feel critics should leave a film entirely to audiences to judge and audiences can decide how a film is going to perform at the box-office.
