Dabangg of Bollywood Salman Khan, he is the guy who does know how to make his films work at the box office. Perhaps he has discovered a particular demographic that will come in crowd to watch whatever he service, but one thing is certain: he has the formula. His latest release Tiger Zinda Hai overtook the lifetime collection of one of the biggest success stories of 2017 (Golmaal Again) in wait for it  for seven days. This is nothing short of incredible.

In a week, the film, which is a sequel to 2012’s Ek Tha Tiger and also stars Katrina Kaif, has collected Rs 206.04 crore. Only ‘Bollywood’ film with more numbers than Ek Tha Tiger is not really a Bollywood film. It is the SS Rajamouli’s Hindi dubbed version of originally Tamil-Telugu film Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.

The Bhaijaan of Bollywood celebrated his birthday on Thursday, and there could not have been a better gift for him than the continually great numbers audiences have given him. If all goes normal, Tiger Zinda Hai is certainly going to do well in the coming days. Since this is the holiday season, Bhaijaan fans may like to come for repeated viewings as no true Bhai fan, I was told once, would watch a Bhaijaan film only once.
