Directed by Maneesh Sharma, the Tiger threequel has opened to mixed reviews and feedback from the audience. However, none of these things will affect the film, at least during Diwali festivities. Till Wednesday, expect some unprecedented numbers to come, and till then, half of the job would be done. This is the Salman Khan biggie we all have been waiting for.
When YRF made it official that Tiger 3 would be released on 12th November (Sunday), fans were really upset as the day of Laxmi Pujan is not suitable for the box office. Still, proving early projections wrong, the film marked a roaring start and raked in a whopping 44.50 crores net at the Indian box office on day 1. Out of this, 43 crores net are from the Hindi version, while the remaining 1.50 crores are from dubbed Telugu and Tamil versions.
With 44.50 crores, Tiger 3 has registered the 6th biggest opening in 2023 at the Indian box office. It crossed Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 in the top 10 ranking by a good margin. The Gadar sequel had taken a fantastic opening of 40.10 crores net despite a clash with Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi’s OMG 2.
