Three of the seven films were made as separate stories before anyone decided they shared a world, and the two 2023 films each contain a rescue carried out by the other film's hero.
Release order is also story order here, so the simple answer is to watch them as they came out. The one thing worth knowing in advance is that the first three were not written as parts of a shared universe, and it shows.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
The first film, and the one that sets up Tiger and Zoya as agents on opposite sides who pick each other over their agencies.
Picks the pair up years later on a hostage rescue. Still connected to nothing else, and it does not need to be.
A separate story with a separate hero, Kabir. Watch it here because every film after this treats Kabir as somebody you already know.
The first film built as a crossover. Salman Khan turns up as Tiger inside the film, and that moment only works if you have seen the Tiger films.
Returns the favour, with Pathaan breaking Tiger out of a military prison, and ends with the credits scene that sets War 2 in motion.
Then what? Then War 2 and then Alpha, in that order. War 2 ends by setting Alpha up, and Alpha carries on a character from War 2. Tiger vs Pathaan and Pathaan 2 have been announced with no dates attached, so there is nothing further to watch yet.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.
Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.
All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.

Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
Nothing is charged and nothing is cancelled, because SagaList does not take payments. What goes is your account, your email address and the progress synced to our side. What stays is everything ticked in the browser on this device.
