In an electrifying start to the Diwali festivities, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s suspense thriller, Tiger 3, has set the box office on fire with its phenomenal Day 1 collections. Directed by Maneesh Sharma, this action-packed movie opened on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, and the numbers it has raked in are nothing short of spectacular.

Record-Breaking Day 1 Collections

Tiger 3 stormed into theaters on November 12, and fans were eagerly awaiting its release. The film, which is part of the YRF Spy Universe along with hits like War and Pathaan, introduced Emraan Hashmi as the formidable antagonist. Moreover, the special cameo appearances of Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan added to the excitement.

The opening day collections of Tiger 3 have shattered records and become Salman Khan’s biggest opener to date. It clocked in an impressive ₹44.5 crore on Day 1 in India alone. This remarkable feat places it ahead of Khan’s previous blockbuster, Bharat, which earned ₹42.3 crore nett in 2019.

What’s even more remarkable is that Tiger 3 achieved this incredible milestone on Diwali, a day when traditionally, box office numbers tend to be subdued due to the festivities. This film’s performance defied expectations, proving the power of Salman Khan’s star appeal and the anticipation surrounding the Tiger franchise.

A New Record on Diwali Day

Tiger 3’s opening day collections have also set a new record for Diwali releases, surpassing the combined earnings of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Ajay Devgn’s Son Of Sardaar in 2012, which stood at ₹22 crore. While it didn’t surpass the opening numbers of Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Jawan this year, Tiger 3’s extraordinary start has positioned it for a successful long-run during the Diwali season.

A Global Sensation

Tiger 3’s success isn’t limited to India; it has made waves worldwide. The film, released on over 5500 screens in India and 3400 screens internationally, collected a staggering ₹50 crore globally on its opening day, making it the biggest global opener of 2023.

The Future Looks Bright

As we look ahead, there’s a lot of excitement surrounding Tiger 3’s journey at the box office. With the extended Diwali weekend ahead and the film’s strong start, it’s poised to continue its roaring success. The film is expected to challenge various records in the coming days and reaffirm Salman Khan’s status as the ultimate box office king. Stay tuned to see if Tiger 3 can break even more records and make history in the world of Bollywood cinema!
