Tiger 3 received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics upon release, with praise for its action sequences, music, score, technical aspects and cast performances (particularly Kaif and Hashmi), but criticism for its plot and pace.[1][56]
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film 4/5 stars and wrote "Tiger 3 is the biggest dhamaka you can expect this Diwali" praised the second half and performances of Khan, Kaif and Hashmi and appreciated the cameo of Shahrukh Khan.[57] Himesh Mankad of Pinkvilla gave the film 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Tiger 3 rides hugely mounted action sequences backed with power performances by Khan, Kaif and Hashmi. While pacing is an issue at some places, the core plot has enough of an emotional connect to keep you glued on the big screen. The film is an action-packed entertainer that has all the ingredients to emerge as Khan’s highest grosser till date."[58] Sonil Dedhia of News18 gave the film 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Tiger 3 has some excellent action sequences featuring Khan and Kaif. Hashmi does justice to his role as an antagonist. There are many sweet-worthy moments in Tiger 3 including the cameos (which is known by everyone). Khan fans are in for a treat this Diwali."[59] Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Khan and Kaif submit themselves to the action of Tiger 3 with full gusto. The film looks stylish, slick, but little overlong. Only if it had more thrills and tension and less talking.
Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India gave the film 3/5 stars and wrote "Tiger 3 qualifies as a good addition to the franchise with enough ammo for mass entertainment."[ Zinia Bandyopadhyay of India Today gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Despite an overcrowded spy universe, Tiger 3 manages to hold his own ground. Khan fans won’t be disappointed, but someone give Kaif a Zoya series pronto! Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote "All the technical razzmatazz would have come to naught without the presence of a star or two who can add lustre, if only of a superficial kind, to the exercise."[63] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Khan is looking his age, but the good thing is that he isn’t hiding it. And of course, the best part of the film is when Pathaan a.k.a. Shah Rukh Khan comes flying into the horizon with his hair still in that sexy man-bun and shooting smart one-liners." Sukanya Verma of Rediff gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Too bad the one time it is friendly to the environment, Tiger chooses to celebrate his Diwali with 'meetha' and not 'pathaaka'.
Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times termed its pace as "inconsistent" and wrote "Tiger 3 is massy, masala and a must-watch not because it's a masterpiece, but because it's not everyday you see two superstars sharing screen space even if that's for a little while. Sharma as director packs all the elements in a manner that it makes for an intriguing watch. While the story and broad plot is quite intricate and complex with a new twist and turn waiting to unfold every few minutes, what remains problematic is the inconsistent pace. Pratikshya Mishra of The Quint wrote "Tiger 3 is one of those films that didn’t need to have relied on pure action – the love story between Tiger and Zoya is the Tiger franchise’s main attraction. Instead, Tiger 3 focuses on a heady mix of a saviour complex and exposition. Despite new additions to the roster and older, familiar faces returning to the mix, Tiger 3 just doesn’t have the thrill and chutzpah required to make the story work.
