Salman Khan, already a part of the Rs 400 crore club with films like ‘Tiger Zinda Hai,’ ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo,’ ‘Sultan,’ and ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan,’ has now added ‘Tiger 3’ to this list.
The achievement doesn’t stop there, as ‘Tiger 3’ surpasses the highest-grossing threequel in Bollywood history, previously held by ‘Dhoom 3.’ Salman Khan’s latest installment in the ‘Tiger’ franchise stands at 282.08 crore, surpassing the 280.25 crore collection of ‘Dhoom 3’. The ‘Tiger’ franchise, with a cumulative total of 819.08 crore, also claims the title of the highest-grossing franchise in Hindi cinema, outperforming even SS Rajamouli’s ‘Baahubali.’
While ‘Tiger 3’ may have fallen short of the anticipated 300 crore mark, it remains a monumental success and showcases Salman Khan’s 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.
