Salman Khan- Katrina Kaif starrer Tiger Zinda Hai brightened up the relatively dull year for Bollywood. The 2017 Christmas release turned out to be one of the biggest fund collectors at the box office. All the bhai fans might be exhilarated to know that the superstar actor has outdone himself with this action-thriller blockbuster. TZH became Salman Khan’s highest grosser film beating 2015-film Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The film raked in Rs 325.71 crores on Day 24. Giving to the fact that fans are still keen to watch this flick, the movie will spread its tentacles on the box office, this week as well.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to announce about Salman's latest achievement as the box office king. He writes, “#TigerZindaHai remained STRONG, despite stiff opposition posed by new films. [Week 4] Fri Rs 1.46 crore, Sat Rs 2.12 crore, Sun Rs 3.27 crore. Total: Rs 325.71 crore. Week 1: Rs 206.04 crore. Week 2: Rs 85.51 crore. Week 3: Rs 27.31 crore. Weekend 4: Rs 6.85 crore. Total: Rs 325.71 crore. India biz. #TZH BLOCKBUSTER.”
Ali Abbas Zafar-directed Tiger Zinda Hai is the successful installment of the Kabir Khan-helmed Ek Tha Tiger in 2012. After Dabangg Khan’s Tubelight, also a 2017-release, received a lukewarm response at the ticket windows, the superstar rose back to becoming the box office ruler with this installment. The film also created much hype as fans witnessed his reunion with ex-flame Katrina Kaif on the silver screen. All said and done, the 52-year-old actor is back in the red-hot form and has managed to conquer his fans’ hearts. Next, Salman will be seen in Race 3 alongside Anil Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah, Bobby Deol and Saqib Saleem. The much-awaited film will be directed by Remo D’souza.
