YRF Spy Universe Movies Ranked From Worst to Best!
The latest installment in the Yash Raj Films Spy Universe (YRF Spy Universe), Tiger 3, has taken the world by storm since its release on November 11. As one of the biggest ongoing Indian franchises, the YRF Spy Universe draws inspiration from American action movies and adds its unique touch through its artisans’ talent and star power. With stars like Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Hrithik Roshan, and Shah Rukh Khan, the franchise has garnered immense popularity and is set to become even bigger with upcoming films. To dive into the franchise and relive its past films, let’s rank them from worst to best:

5. EK THA TIGER (2012)
The first film in the YRF Spy Universe, Ek Tha Tiger, is considered the weakest of the franchise. While it features some exciting action sequences and catchy tunes, the conventional story and lukewarm chemistry between Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif prevent it from reaching its full potential. However, the song “Mashallah” remains a favorite among fans.
4. WAR (2019)
War, directed by Siddharth Anand, maybe a controversial choice for fourth place. It has its redeeming qualities, such as excellent songs like “Jai Jai Shivshankar” and “Ghungroo,” as well as a refreshing aesthetic change in the action sequences. However, the deviation from the core plot and an unearned rivalry between the agents disrupt the pacing and hinder the film’s overall impact.
3. TIGER ZINDA HAI (2017)
Tiger Zinda Hai, the sequel to Ek Tha Tiger, brings a complete overhaul to the franchise. It doubles down on the show-stopping action scenes and elevates them to incredible heights. The chemistry between Salman Khan’s Tiger and Katrina Kaif’s Zoya improves significantly, and the introduction of their son adds a personal touch to the stakes. This film marked the first sign of viability for the YRF Spy Universe.
2. TIGER 3 (2023)
The latest release in the franchise, Tiger 3, has managed to impress the audience and secures the second position on our list. Starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, the film introduces Emraan Hashmi as the antagonist, adding an exciting dynamic to the story.
1. PATHAAN (2023)
Taking the top spot is Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan’s grand return to the screen after a five-year hiatus. Directed by Siddharth Anand, Pathaan shattered commercial records both in India and abroad. The film’s inspiration from director John Woo is evident, blending the core plot of Mission: Impossible II with Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. SRK’s portrayal, often compared to Tom Cruise, showcases his ageless charm and perfectly-ripped body, reminiscent of Cruise’s iconic roles. With stunning action scenes and a captivating storyline, Pathaan marks a significant crossover in the YRF Spy Universe, setting up an epic showdown between Tiger and Pathaan in the Tiger 3.
