Where will Tiger 3 rank among Salman Khan’s highest grossing films at the box office?

Salman Khan’s much awaited blockbuster Tiger 3, which opens this Sunday during the Diwali weekend, is finally happening. With its commercials and songs, the newest spy thriller from Spy Universe has clearly connected with the public, as seen by the enormous demand for advance tickets at the ticket windows.

Given the current situation, we can expect Tiger 3 to surpass Bharat, which earned Rs 42.30 crore on its first day, and become Salman Khan’s greatest opening film. In fact, if the material captures the interest of the viewer, it might easily cross the Rs 300 crore mark at the box office. But, it will have a difficult few days at the box office, with two challenging ones ahead of it: one in which India will play in the semi-final, and another if India reaches to the final.

Top grossing films for Salman Khan:

Tiger Zinda Hai – Rs 339.16 crore
Bajrangi Bhaijaan – Rs 320.34 crore
Sultan – Rs 300.45 crore
Kick – Rs 231.85 crore
Bharat – Rs 211.07 crore
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – Rs 210.16 crore
Ek Tha Tiger – Rs 198.78 crore
Race 3 – Rs 166.40 crore
Dabangg 2 – Rs 155 crore
Bodyguard – Rs 148.86 crore

It is certain to have a two-week open run, which is a lot time for the movie to break records at the box office.

The film, which was directed by Maneesh Sharma of Band Baaja Baaraat, Fan, Shuddh Desi Romance, and Ladies Vs. Ricky Bahl fame, also features important roles for Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi, with cameos by Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan. It is reportedly the most costly movie that YRF has ever funded. It will be released in Telugu and Tamil with Telugu dubbing in addition to Hindi.
