Tiger 3 has collected 42.25 crore nett on the first day and this a crazy number for Diwali Day where collections come to a standstill in the evening. The difference here though seems a huge ratio of business from South and East which dont have this slowing down on Diwali.

East India outside Bihar is just phenomenal as no Salman Khan starrer has seen these numbers in West Bengal, Assam and Odisha. In fact they are very close to films like Pathan and Jawan. Bihar is affected due to Laxmi Puja so collections there are less. 

Delhi / UP is also outstanding considering its Laxmi Puja as many centres in UP record fantastic collections. Gujarat also for Puja day at around 4 crore nett is pretty extraordinary. Gujarat and UP are the crucial areas for Diwali period and these have started on a very good note even with the restrictions of Diwali Day. 

There are two places where collections have not come and that is East Punjab and CI. The former can be expected as its generally a circuit problem though you would still expect better. CI must do better as both Pathaan and Jawan underperformed here but Shahrukh Khan films have never been driven by this circuit. Its a different story for Salman Khan who is the biggest star in this circuit by a distance and not just today one of the biggest stars ever in Madhya Pradesh (which forms CI circuit).

The opening day is the biggest ever for a Salman Khan starrer driven by business in the South and East . This South and East block has contributed around 17 crore nett which is insane as its 40% of the all India business. It could be the Sunday release which has pushed the numbers in these pockets. It also means the film is going to behave differently to other films as that normal jump of 70-90% from Diwali Day to the big national holiday will not happen as 40% of the business will not record much growth. 

The fact that the national holiday is over two days will also mean the film will behave differently as to other films that came on Diwali. It remain to be seen which circuits have their best day on Monday and which circuits are best on Tuesday. The film also collected around 1.50 crore nett apprx in Tamil and Telugu with most of the business coming in Telugu.
