Salman Khan's 'Ek Tha Tiger': Memorable songs from the film

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Ek Tha Tiger is a romantic and action thriller film released in 2012. Ek Tha Tiger is the first installment in the Tiger franchise that features Ranvir Shorey, Girish Karnad, Roshan Seth, and Gavie Chahal in supporting roles. It follows the story of Tiger (Salman Khan), an Indian spy tasked with retrieving information before it is gained by Pakistan, but is distracted after falling in love with a Pakistani agent (Katrina Kaif) during the mission. The film gained reviews from mixed to positive, with praise for its action, music, and performances by the leads.
