Tiger 3's Box Office: High Opening, Unexpected Twist

Tiger 3, Salman Khan's highly anticipated film, faced a setback as it failed to break records on its release day, which coincided with the post-Diwali festival on November 12. Traditionally a monumental day for Bollywood, the film's opening day netted an impressive 42Cr+.

Despite factors like Lakshmi Pooja, the expected surge on the second day fell short of trade predictions. Initial estimates suggest that Tiger 3's second-day collection might be under 60Cr net, disappointing those who anticipated a robust performance between 65-70Cr.

Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan's previous films like Jawan and Pathaan outperformed Tiger 3 on their respective weekends, indicating a surprising turn of events. Despite being the third installment in the successful Tiger franchise backed by Yash Raj Films, Tiger 3 faced challenges in setting new records on what is typically Bollywood's most significant day.

The film boasts special appearances by Shah Rukh Khan as Pathaan and Hrithik as Kabir from WAR, adding star power to the mix. Featuring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif reprising their roles as agents Tiger and Zoya, the movie promises stunning action sequences and introduces Emraan Hashmi as the primary antagonist.

Tiger 3 explores not only the characters' mission to save the nation but also delves into the personal struggles of Salman's character, making it a noteworthy addition to the YRF Spy Series.
