Salman Khan's latest film Tiger 3 is out and it is a rare Hindi film to release on a Sunday. The third movie in his hit Tiger franchise is also the first film in 12 years to release in theatres on the day of Diwali. The distribution head at the film's production house - Yash Raj Films - Rohan Malhotra, has now revealed the reasons behind the unusual release date choice. Read full report here.

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif promoted Tiger 3 on the sets of Bigg Boss. They danced to the film's song Leke Prabhu Ka Naam.

Vicky Kaushal gave a shoutout to wife Katrina Kaif's film, Tiger 3, on Instagram. He wrote, 2023 ka Diwali gift! “What a great ride Tiger 3 is. Tiger, Zoya, Aatish Congratulations.”

Once again, here is the Tiger 3 trailer

Film critic Suchin Mehrotra said, "Tiger 3 was...fine. A more urgent second half salvages a flabby, oddly dull first. Walked away just wishing I had more fun. Put simply Pathaan was even more a blast because of its "cameos", but Tiger 3 relies on them to deliver the goods (the #MissionTimepass joke writes itself)."

Salman Khan returns as Tiger for the third instalment of the action franchise. The latest outing Tiger 3 sees him recharged, refreshed and rejuvenated with more power, force and strength. However, the film suffers from a sluggish first half.

Fans have shared videos from cinema halls as they witnessed Shah Rukh Khan's cameo in the film.

A video from Hyderabad shows fans of Salman Khan blowing up confetti bombs inside the theatre to celebrate the release of Tiger 3. The confetti exploded and fans began screaming and dancing on Salman Khan's entry.

A person on Twitter wrote, “After Watching #SalmanKhan’s entry in #Tiger3, respect for Atlee multiplied by a thousand. YRF failed with a 400cr Budget! #Tiger3Review. #ShahRukhKhan’s Entry in #Jawan will remain the Epic Cinematic Experience in Today’s Era. This is Pure Cinema! No one can come close #HappyDiwali2023.”

Katrina shared a poster for Tiger 3 on her WhatsApp Channel and wrote, "Meet you at your nearest cinema today onwards 🔥🍿 Book your tickets on https://linktr.ee/Tiger3Tickets Catch #Tiger3 at your nearest big screen in Hindi, Tamil & Telugu."

#OneWordReview… #Tiger3: SMASH-HIT. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The roar is back… #Tiger3 is the biggest dhamaka you can expect this #Diwali… Excellent second half, solid action pieces, superb cameos and of course, a ferocious #SalmanKhan. #Tiger3Review. 2023 marks the comeback of *well-made* masala entertainers that also revived the struggling theatrical biz: #Pathaan, #Jawan and #Gadar2… It’s time to add yet another prominent title to this distinguished list: #Tiger3. Director #ManeeshSharma gets an opportunity of a lifetime to direct the hugely-awaited threequel and he makes a mass-friendly film that works at most times… However, the writing could’ve been more effective, in the first half specifically," he wrote.

It was earlier reported that Tiger 3 will have cameos from Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan and fans have been sharing videos of the same on social media from their first day first show.

Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh gave a low down on how many tickets have been sold so far. “#Xclusiv… #Tiger3 advance booking status at *national chains*… Note: [Sunday] Day 1 tickets sold… ⭐️ #PVRInox: 2.19 lacs ⭐️ #Cinepolis: 52,000 ⭐️ Total: 2.71 lacs tickets sold. #Tiger3 [Monday] Day 2 tickets sold… ⭐️ #PVRInox: 91,000 ⭐️ #Cinepolis: 22,000 ⭐️ Total: 1.13 lacs tickets sold.”

“#Tiger3Review ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #SalmanKhan ate the show 100%. The screenplay keeps u hooked with the perfect storyline from very 1st min till end. Best Salman Khan entry in history GOOSEBUMPS GUARANTEED! #EmraanHashmi phenomenal villain, never seen before like action. #KatrinaKaif on fire mode. #Tiger3 is the best spy & action film in Indian cinema,”

"#Tiger3Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #Tiger3 is a Decent Spy Saga which has a Below Par First Half & Good Second Half that offers some high octane action sequences. #SalmanKhan as Tiger yet again proves his mettle as the BIGGEST ACTION STAR, his god level screen presence & way he performs hand to hand combat fight is unparalleled, not only he excelled in action, his intense scenes will also win the actor lots of applause from aam janta though i feel Director Maneesh Sharma fails to present the iconic character of Tiger in its full glory, he underutilizes #SalmanKhan & fail to give elevation & high points the character required," wrote trade analyst Sumit Kadel.

"#Tiger3Review -⭐⭐⭐⭐✨One of the best movie of #YRFSpyUniverse , Storyline is brilliant and action is like hollywood standard, Act of All actors is phenomenal, More of Surprises !#SalmanKhan A One Man Show , who prove he's the dady of Spy Universe. A Must watch," read another Twitter review.

“Salman Khan is back, the one we knew, the one we loved. Tiger 3 is going to be the biggest blockbuster movie of this year and it has 10 times more action than Pathan and Jawan,” wrote a fan on Twitter.

“OneWordReview… #Tiger3 : BLOCKBUSTER. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ Tiger is a WINNER and more than lives up to the humongous hype… #ManeeshSharma immerses us into the world of Mass Spy film, delivers a KING-SIZED ENTERTAINER A MUST WATCH,” read a review for the film on Twitter.

Salman posted on Istagram, "We have made #Tiger3 with a lot of passion & we are counting on you to protect our spoilers when you see the film. Spoilers can ruin the movie-watching experience. We trust you to do what is right. We hope #Tiger3 is the perfect Diwali gift from us to you!!"
