The song starts with a scene of people in Salman’s neighbourhood wondering what he does for a living. Obese housewives steal glances at him only to be distracted by their hubbies. Of course they don’t know that the guy is a RAW agent and can’t reveal it to anyone. So what’s his answer when asked his job. “Civil service mein hoon”. “Administration mein hoon”. “Government duty hai”.
In reality, Tiger is an Indian spy sent on a mission to Dublin. There he befriends a pretty girl Zoya (Katrina Kaif) as a part of his mission.
The best part of the song is when Katrina Kaif taunts Salman: “Style mein toh thode se kaddu (pumkin) ho, lekin very romantic.”
Salman: “Life mein pehli baar kissi nein mujhe ye bola hai!”
Katrina: “Kya, kaddu?”.
Salman: “Nahi, romantic”
Katrina: “Kaddu pehle bula chuke hain”.
Ek Tha Tiger is slated to release on August 15. Enjoy ‘The Tiger Song’ below:
