Tiger Zinda Hai has been doing exceptionally well at the box office as many regard this as a tribute to Bhai’s stardom.

The film received positive to mixed reviews from the critics but that didn’t stop the film from making records and interestingly the film has also gave a milestone feat to the Dabangg of Bollywood.

Tiger Zinda Hai has become Salman’s 12th consecutive film to enter the 100-crore club, a feat which has not been achieved by any actor so far. Also, the film has become the biggest weekend opener for Salman himself as comparison to his last and biggest blockbusters so far.

First weekend Collections of Salman’s recent blockbusters:

Tiger Zinda Hai: Rs.114.93 crore

Tubelight: Rs.64.77 crore

Sultan: Rs.105.53 crore

Bajrangi Bhaijaan: Rs.102.60 crore

Tiger Zinda Hai has surely become Salman’s much needed comeback film after a mediocre performance in Tubelight and will undoubtedly take the box office with a rage before 2017 ends.

With Christmas’ holiday still to go it’ll be interesting to see what wonders the film will do and whether it becomes the second film after Bahubaali 2 to collect Rs.150 crore in four days.

Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. Tiger Zinda Hai is a sequel to the blockbuster film, Ek Tha Tiger, and is having a mammoth run at the box office ever since its release on December 22.
