Decimates all BO records for Diwali Day. Hold on, not only is Tiger 3 the highest opener on Diwali Day, but also Salman Khan's biggest opener ever (yes, you read that right!). Sunday ₹ 43 cr. India biz. Hindi version. Box office.”

In addition to the Tiger franchise, other films in the YRF Spy Universe include Pathaan led by Shah Rukh Khan and War headlined by Hrithik Roshan.
