The third instalment in the Tiger franchise just gave Salman Khan his biggest opening yet. Tiger 3, co-starring Katrina Kaif, released a day ago on Diwali and made Rs 43 crore on Day 1, reports trade analyst Taran Adarsh. No big Hindi film has released on Diwali day in over a decade – Tiger 3 is a “sport changer,” according to Mr Adarsh. The film has set a Diwali record as well as given its lead star his personal best first day at the box office.
“Month refuse primary Hindi movie has exempted on Diwali Life in additional than a decade (movie biz is significantly impacted, since crowd are busy with festivities and Laxmi Puja), Tiger 3 emerges a sport changer.

Secure on, now not most effective is Tiger 3 the perfect opener on Diwali Life, but in addition Salman Khan’s greatest opener ever (sure, you learn that proper!). Sunday ₹ 43 cr.

In his review of Tiger 3for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee said, “In his third outing as superspy Avinash Singh Rathore alias Tiger, Salman Khan, with aid of a story by producer Aditya Chopra and a screenplay from Shridhar Raghavan, proves that there is always a great deal of purchase from the spectacle of an irrepressible hero leaping off all kinds of perches and landing on his feet. The lead actor’s star power comes in handy, but Tiger 3 (like Pathaan and unlike War) is gender-agnostic. Katrina Kaif is allowed almost as much of the action as the invincible Tiger, whose death-defying feats return in the third instalment in a bigger and more brazen form.”
Meanwhile, ahead of Tiger 3′s release, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif also requested fans to not reveal spoilers from the film. Sharing identical posts on their respective Instagram Stories, the superstars wrote, “We’ve got made Tiger 3 with a bundle of interest and we’re reckoning on you to offer protection to our spoilers whilst you see the movie. Spoilers can break the movie-watching enjoy. We believe you to do what is correct. We are hoping Tiger 3 is the easiest Diwali present from us to you!! Liberating in cinemas the following day in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.”
In addition to Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, Tiger 3 also features Emraan Hashmi as the antagonist. As mentioned above, Tiger 3 is the latest addition to the YRF Spy Universe, which includes War and Pathaan.
