REVIEW: Starring as the blue masked hero, Tiger does a great job portraying the Flying Jatt, thanks to his facile charm and likeability, making the hero entertaining. 

The first half of the film is light and entertaining; with portions where Tiger tried hard to adapt to his new life being very funny. Aman's mother is a loving, alcoholic person, perfectly portrayed by the versatile Amrita Singh, is always in constant attempt to push Tiger to go and save the world. She produces the highlights of the film with great moments alongside Tiger. Jacqueline Fernandes did not have too much to offer in the film and so her portrayal the role of Kirti seemed very limited. Also, her chemistry with Tiger did not spark in any way. 

The director puts together smooth action sequences without having to rely deeply on Visual Effects. Raka, the main antagonist in the film is portrayed by Hollywood star Nathan Jones, who looks menacing throughout the film and does a good job at being the adversary.

The duration of the film is another aspect that drags the movie down; especially right through the second half of the film, the movie seemed to be an exhausting experience. 

While the movie started off being a fun and light entertainer, it eventually falls prey for bad plot during the second half and becomes a tedious, non-engaging clutter of sequences.  The movie, on the whole, is a mix of experience, with a particular focus on the younger audience.
