Yash Raj Films reclaimed its position as the number one production house in India with the success of Pathaan and Tiger 3. After facing a series of underperforming films, the studio has not only regained its momentum but is now setting the stage for a spectacular lineup of grand movie releases that are already creating a buzz among eager fans.
Salman Khan’s, Tiger 3, has not only captured the hearts of audiences but has also shattered global box office records. It grossed an astounding $28 million worldwide on its fourth day. Domestically, the film has surged to a staggering $23 million. It is marked as Salman Khan’s 17th film to breach the coveted $12 million mark. The strategic decision to release the movie on Diwali proved to be a masterstroke. It made Tiger 3 the first Hindi film in 12 years to grace theaters on the festive occasion.
The film’s international success positions it to potentially surpass the gross collection of its predecessor, Ek Tha Tiger. Notably, Tiger 3 surprised audiences with two unexpected cameos – Shah Rukh Khan as Pathaan and Hrithik Roshan as Kabir. These special appearances not only added excitement to the film but also served as an insight into the upcoming YRF Spy Universe movies.
