While Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif reprise their roles as the titular Tiger aka Avinash Singh Rathore, and Zoya, Emraan Hashmi joins the cast as the primary antagonist.

The viewership of Tiger 3 was also greatly affected on Wednesday by the World Cup semi-final match between India and New Zealand. As per Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh: "Tiger 3 started off well in morning shows on Day 4, but business took a severe hit post 1 pm due to the crucial IND vs NZ semi-final cricket match. The fall in Tiger 3 was more pronounced due to the record-breaking viewership of the match. Tiger 3 Sunday 43 cr, Monday 58 cr, Tuesday 43.50 cr, Wednesday 20.50 cr. Total: ₹ 165 cr. India biz.

Until day 3, Tiger 3 was Bollywood's third biggest hit of the year after Jawan and Pathaan and Salman Khan's biggest theatrical opening, so far. About the film, NDTV's Saibal Chatterjee wrote, “In his third outing as superspy Avinash Singh Rathore alias Tiger, Salman Khan, with aid of a story by producer Aditya Chopra and a screenplay from Shridhar Raghavan, proves that there is always a great deal of purchase from the spectacle of an irrepressible hero leaping off all kinds of perches and landing on his feet. The lead actor's star power comes in handy, but Tiger 3 (like Pathaan and unlike War) is gender-agnostic. Katrina Kaif is allowed almost as much of the action as the invincible Tiger, whose death-defying feats return in the third instalment in a bigger and more brazen form.”

Tiger 3 has been produced and written by Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films and directed by Maneesh Sharma.
