Tiger Zinda Hai (transl. Tiger Lives) 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. It is produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films.[1][6][7] The film is a sequel to Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and is the second instalment in the YRF Spy Universe. The film stars Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif reprising their roles from the predecessor.[8] The film takes place after the events of Ek Tha Tiger in which Tiger and Zoya come out of hiding to save nurses held hostage by a terrorist organisation called ISC in Iraq.
A sequel was conceived following the success of Ek Tha Tiger, however, faced several delays after the writer and director of the first film Kabir Khan refused to return for a sequel. Zafar was subsequently hired as the writer and director. The story is inspired from the 2014 abduction of Indian nurses by ISIL.[9] Production begun for the film in 2016, and filming was concluded by 2017. Filming locations include Abu Dhabi, Austria, Greece, and Morocco.[10] 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.[2][3]
Tiger Zinda Hai was theatrically released worldwide by Yash Raj Films on 22 December 2017. The film received positive reviews from critics.[11][12]
Similar to its predecessor, the film set numerous box-office records during its theatrical run, grossing over ₹565 crore (US$86.76 million) worldwide,[13] becoming the third highest-grossing Indian film of 2017. At the 63rd Filmfare Awards, the film won for Best Action.[14]
