'Tiger 3,' the latest and third installment in the Tiger franchise and a key component of the YRF Spy Universe alongside films like 'War' and 'Pathaan,' features Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in lead roles. Emraan Hashmi plays the main antagonist, adding an extra layer of intensity to the narrative. The film also includes cameo appearances by Shah Rukh Khan as Pathaan and Hrithik Roshan as Kabir.

'Tiger 3' has emerged as Salman Khan's most significant opener to date, surpassing the opening day collections of his previous hits like 'Bharat' (2019) and 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' (2015), both of which also released on Diwali.

For Katrina Kaif, 'Tiger 3' stands as her third-highest opener, following Vijay Krishna Acharya's 'Thugs of Hindostan' (2018) and 'Bharat,' where she starred alongside Salman Khan.

On its opening day, 'Tiger 3' raked in an impressive Rs. 44.5 crore across all languages, maintaining a solid 41.33 % occupancy for the Hindi version alone.
