Tiger 3 Box Office Collection Day 2: Salman’s Film Beats Jawan & Pathaan On 1st Monday; Creates New Record

Salman Khan has all the reasons to be on cloud nine these days and rightfully so. After all, his recent release Tiger 3 has been doing wonders at the box office. The movie, which happens to be the the third installment of the successful Tiger franchise, features Salman and Katrina Kaif reprising their respective roles of Tiger and Zoya along with Emraan Hashmi who plays the role of the lead antagonist.

Tiger 3 has been one of the most awaited releases of the year and as it has released on Diwali this year, it has witnessed a phenomenal start at the box office with a collection of Rs 44.5 crores. Interestingly, this Maneesh Sharma directorial became the highest grosser for Salman Khan and second highest opener for Katrina after Thugs of Hindostan.

And now, according to a report published in Sacnilk, Tiger 3 has managed to mind Rs 57.52 crores on the second day of release (first Monday) which takes the overall collection of the movie to Rs 102.02 crores. Interestingly, Tiger 3 has managed to beat the collection of Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Jawan on the first Monday and has recorded the highest first Monday collection ever. For the uninitiated, Pathaan had minted Rs 26.5 crores while Jawan earned Rs 32.92 crores on the first Monday of release. But this isn't all. Tiger 3 has also recorded the second highest second day collection after Pathaan (Rs 70.5 crores).

Meanwhile, Emraan Hashmi recently got candid about his role in Tiger 3 and said, "I had an amazing time creating Aatish - a man who is fuelled by rage and will go to any length to finish Tiger. I play a very distinctively different villain that is rare in Hindi cinema. He is cerebral, his mind is his greatest weapon and he also wields immense power over authorities across countries to bring his devious plans into motion. He single-mindedly wants to destroy Tiger, his family and by doing that, he wants to take out the biggest super agent of India. He knows Tiger will always be the last man standing for India and he wants him removed at any cost."
