Salman Khan, already a part of the Rs 400 crore club with films like โTiger Zinda Hai,โ โPrem Ratan Dhan Payo,โ โSultan,โ and โBajrangi Bhaijaan,โ has now added โTiger 3โ to this list.

While โTiger 3โ may have fallen short of the anticipated 300 crore mark, it remains a monumental success and showcases Salman Khanโs dominance in the industry. The film, directed by Maneesh Sharma, opened with an impressive 44.50 crore on the first day and maintained a strong pace throughout the opening weekend, concluding at 148.50 crore.
