The third film in the hugely successful Tiger franchise has already crossed the Rs 100 crore mark at the domestic box office. On its second day itself, Tiger 3 has crossed the Rs 100 crore (Rs 1 billion) mark at the domestic box office within a day of its release. Helmed by Maneesh Sharma, the film also features Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi in key roles.

As per a Sacnilk report, the film ended Monday with a haul of ₹57.52 crore (Rs 570 million). On Sunday, it had collected Rs 44.5 crore (Rs 440 million). This takes its two-day collection to ₹102 crore.  The second-day figures are even higher than the second-day collection of the year's biggest hit so far, Jawan.

So far, Shah Rukh Khan's two releases, Jawan and Pathaan are the biggest earners of 2023. Jawan released on a Thursday and made Rs 74.5 crore (Rs 740 million) on day 1. However, on day 2, it made Rs 53 crore (Rs 530 million).

The advance bookings of Tiger 3 itself were very encouraging as it earned over Rs 15 crore in advance ticket sales.

Tiger 3 review

WION's Shomini Sen wrote that despite the elaborate action sequence, the film lacked the thrills. Praising Shah Rukh Khan's cameo, Sen wrote, "Tiger 3's high point is the banter between the two Khans amid fighting the Pakistani army and shielding themselves from crashing helicopters and machetes." 

"Tiger 3 has the elements of a typical Bollywood actioner but perhaps its release is not well timed. It comes in the same year when people are still reeling under the blitzkrieg of Pathaan and Jawan, where SRK has already done something similar - saved humanity and made India proud. And so Tiger 3 gives you a sense of deja vu," she further wrote.
