Tiger 3 box office collection Day 19: Salman Khan film struggles to reach Rs 300 cr milestone; Animal, Sam Bahadur to hinder rise

The previous film in the franchise, Tiger Zinda Hai, which was released in 2017, did a better business. The film earned Rs 339.16 crore by the end of its eighth week in the theatres. Given the pace at which Tiger 3 is growing at the box office, it might be difficult for the film to register lifetime business even close to Tiger Zinda Hai.

However, the film has the record of the biggest opener for Salman Khan and also the highest-grossing Diwali release. Upon its release on November 12, Tiger 3 earned Rs 44.5 crore. Its below-par performance can be blamed on its release when the country was soaked in the cricket fever due to the ODI World Cup. It also received a mixed response from the film critics.

The Indian Express’ Shubhra Gupta panned the film and mentioned in her review how the film lost its pace in the second half. She wrote in her review, “After that super-starry flourish where you can’t help but crack up at the bro-vibes the two trade, the story-telling settles into distinctly un-rousing patterns in the second-half, only intermittently sparking to life.”
