Salman Khan's Ek Tha Tiger teaser hits the right chords

The teaser went online on Thursday. Anurag Kashyap describes it as "intriguing", while Preity Zinta says Salman "rocks" in it.

The trailer suggests the Yash Raj Films (YRF) production is about intelligence agencies of India and Pakistan, and narrates the story of an agent named Tiger, played by Khan.

The trailer is purely action based, and hints at the core idea of the film. However, the romance bit of the film is not shown in the teaser as there is not a single footage of Khan with co-star Katrina Kaif.

Nevertheless, it has hit the right chords with industry members, critics and trade analysts, who have lauded the teaser, which has Khan firing guns, jumping from quite a height, fighting ruthlessly and ultimately, walking with an intense look on his face.

Kashyap tweeted: "Ek Tha Tiger trailer is super awesome... very slick and very intriguing... super curious now... and envious... jaldi dikhao [show it quick] sir."

Zinta: "Saw the trailer of Ek Tha Tiger n Omg! Salman Rocksss!!!"

Goldie Behl: "Ek Tha Tiger teaser is awesome! Very rarely do we see commerce and art woven so seamlessly together kabirkhankk has rocked it."

Film critic Anupama Chopra: "Loved the trailer of Ek Tha Tiger. Think I am finally ready to convert to the cult of Salman."

Film critic Taran Adarsh: "Ek Tha Tiger: It's the Baap [father] of all promos. Awesome. This one will shatter every record in sight. Await the new hurricane by."

The film is slated for an Eid release this year.
