'''''Tiger Zinda Hai''''' is the [[Soundtrack album|soundtrack]] to the 2017 film [[Tiger Zinda Hai|of the same name]] directed by [[Ali Abbas Zafar]]; a sequel to ''[[Ek Tha Tiger]]'' (2012), the film stars [[Salman Khan]] and [[Katrina Kaif]] reprising their roles from the first film. [[Vishal–Shekhar]] composed the six-song soundtrack which was produced by [[Meghdeep Bose]] and Abhijit Nalani and lyrics are written by [[Irshad Kamil]]. The soundtrack was released through [[YRF Music]] on 12 December 2017 and became the most-streamed Bollywood soundtrack on YouTube.
