Tiger Zinda Hai

Tiger Zinda Hai (transl. Tiger is Alive) is a 2017 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film written and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar based on a story by Zafar and Neelesh Misra. Produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, it serves as a sequel to Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and is the second instalment in the YRF Spy Universe, and stars Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif reprising their roles from the predecessor. Almost five years since the events of Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger and Zoya find themselves pulled out of hiding to save nurses held hostage by the ISC, a terrorist organisation based in Iraq.

A sequel was conceived following the success of Ek Tha Tiger, but faced several delays after Kabir Khan, who scripted and helmed the 2012 original, refused to return for a sequel. Zafar was subsequently hired as the writer and director; Misra, who had written the script for Ek Tha Tiger alongside Khan, contributed to the story, which is inspired from the 2014 abduction of Indian nurses by ISIL. Production begun for the film in 2016, and filming was concluded by 2017. Filming locations include Abu Dhabi, Austria, Greece, and Morocco. Made on a budget of ₹120−130 crore (US$−19,962,652.64), the film was one of the most expensive Hindi films ever made at time of its release.

Tiger Zinda Hai was theatrically released worldwide by Yash Raj Films on 22 December 2017. The film received positive reviews from critics.

Similar to its predecessor, the film set numerous box-office records during its theatrical run, grossing over ₹565 crore (US$86.76 million) worldwide, becoming the third highest-grossing Indian film of 2017. At the 63rd Filmfare Awards, the film won for Best Action.
