Salman Khan, the Bollywood superstar, is back with a bang in his highly anticipated film, Tiger 3. The film’s trailer showcases Khan’s iconic dialogue, “Jab tak tiger mara nahin… tab tak tiger haara nahin” (Until the tiger is not dead, the tiger has not lost), hinting at his determination to prove that he still reigns supreme in the industry. With rival Shah Rukh Khan making a powerful comeback as an action star, Salman Khan is facing the pressure to reclaim his throne after a six-year hiatus since Tiger Zinda Hai (2017).
Salman Khan’s journey as an actor has seen its fair share of ups and downs. While Shah Rukh Khan dominated the early 2000s, Salman faced personal challenges, troubled relationships, and legal issues that overshadowed his film career. Films like No Entry (2005) brought him success, but he also faced major failures with Lucky: No Time For Love and Kyonki in the same year, kicking off a downward spiral.
Salman’s struggles continued in 2006 and 2007 with a string of box office disasters like Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar, Saawan, Babul, Jaan-E-Mann, Salaam-e-Ishq, and Marigold. Despite occasional successes like Partner (2007), it was not until Wanted (2009) that he experienced a resurrection. The film’s rugged and unfiltered portrayal of Salman’s “Bhai” persona resonated with his fans and marked a turning point in his career.
Soon after, Dabangg (2010) solidified Salman Khan’s status as an action star. His portrayal of the tough cop, Chulbul Pandey, became iconic, with his one-liners and wisecracks winning over audiences. Blockbuster hits like Ready, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Kick, and Bajrangi Bhaijaan further showcased his ability to dominate the box office with his unique on-screen persona.
However, in recent years, Salman’s films have faced criticism for being formulaic and predictable. Movies like Tubelight, Race 3, Bharat, Dabangg 3, Radhe, Antim, and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan failed to meet expectations, highlighting the need for fresh narratives and collaborations with different filmmakers.
Now, all eyes are on Tiger 3, which promises to continue the success of its predecessors. While fans eagerly await the film’s release, the question arises: Will it be enough to reclaim Salman Khan’s spot at the top? Just like Shah Rukh Khan’s resurgence, Salman needs to explore new territories and reinvent himself in order to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving industry.
In conclusion, Salman Khan’s comeback with Tiger 3 holds immense significance for both the actor and his fans. With his iconic “Bhai” persona, he has set a benchmark for other actors and can undoubtedly make a grand comeback with the right narrative and collaborations. As an avid Salman Khan fan and film reviewer, I am excited to witness his journey and eagerly await the first show of Tiger 3.
