Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 has surrendered almost, and while the film currently stands at 282.08 crore, it seems impossible to touch the 300 crore mark with Animal’s arrival. However, despite a number so underwhelming, Bhaijaan has achieved a unique record that might have gone unnoticed.
As the Tiger threequel stands at 282.08 crore, it has surpassed the highest-grossing threequel of Bollywood – Dhoom 3! The film, starring Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Katrina Kaif, collected 280.25 crores at the box office.
Surpassing this number, Tiger 3 has now become the highest-grossing threequel. Interestingly, the Tiger franchise is also the highest-grossing franchise in Hindi, beating SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali. Currently, the Tiger franchise stands at 819.08 crore.
It was expected that with Tiger 3’s rampage, Salman Khan would cross the 1000 crore box office with his franchise, but that obviously has not happened and will not definitely happen. As the Khan superstar settles for this consolation price, have a look at the collection of the top 5 threequel films in Bollywood.

Salman Khan entered the franchise after Saif Ali Khan led two films that were loved by the audiences. Interestingly, while Katrina Kaif starred in the first film, she took an exit and handed the baton to Deepika Padukone for the second film, who did not take an interest in the third part and passed it. The film opened at 29.17 crore and collected 106.47 crore in the weekend.
Total Dhamaal – 154.3 Crore

The comedy franchise helmed by Indra Kumar has been loved all three times. The threequel has a cast makeover, with Madhuri Dixit taking center stage. The film opened at 16.5 crore and collected 62.40 crore in the weekend.
Now, as Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s Tiger 3 has taken the spot for the highest-grossing threequel in Bollywood, it would be interesting to see if Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again could surpass this number!
