After Akshay Kumar’s historical drama Samrat Prithviraj faced a ban in Kuwait and Oman, another Bollywood film, Salman Khan’s action thriller Tiger 3, has reportedly been banned in the same countries as well as Qatar. The reason for the ban is said to be the portrayal of Islamic countries and characters in a negative light.
Samrat Prithviraj, which released on June 2, 2022, is based on the life of the 12th-century king Prithviraj Chauhan, who fought against the invading Muslim ruler Muhammad of Ghor. The film has been accused of distorting history and hurting the sentiments of Muslims by showing them as barbaric invaders. The film has also been criticized for its poor performance at the box office and negative reviews from critics and audiences.
Tiger 3, which is slated to release this Sunday 12th November, 20223, is the third installment of the Tiger franchise and part of YRF’s spy universe, starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif as secret agents. The film is said to have scenes shot in Turkey, Russia, and Austria, where the protagonists face off against a global terrorist organization. The film has allegedly depicted some Islamic countries and characters in an unfavorable manner, which has led to the ban in Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar.
Here are fans’ reactions on the news:
Both films have been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in India, but have faced objections from the governments and censor boards of the Islamic countries. The makers of the films have not yet commented on the ban or the possibility of making any changes to the films. The ban is expected to affect the overseas collections of the films, as the Gulf countries are a significant market for Bollywood films.
Tiger 3 Is Way Behind Pathaan And Jawan In Terms Of Advance Booking Even After 5 Days
Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 is next big release and expected to challenge records at box office. But film is lagging behind Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan and Pathaan by huge margins. Number one booking app Bookmyshow is fair indicator of where film is going in terms of craze and advance booking. Tiger 3 failed to cross day one advance booking of Pathaan and Jawan even after 5 days.

Tiger 3 Needs Big Jumps Over Next Few Days To Challenge Jawan And Pathaan Records
Salman Khan has delivered some box office duds in recent past i.e. Radhe, Antim. His last release Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan failed miserably at box office despite being an Eid release and home production of super star. That is why his next release Tiger 3 is very important for revival of box office clout of Salman Khan.
This is Salman’s franchise and his most popular character. On Saturday, late afternoon film’s advance booking kicked off in national chains and response is on expected lines. Film took good start all over. By end of the day, film sold 10,000 plus tickets in national chains on Saturday.
Film saw below par sales all around as film crossed 1,17,000 tickets sold in advance booking in national chains on Wednesday. Film sold only 17,000 tickets in whole day on Wednesday which was low.
Following are the numbers in national chains in advances for day 1 as of Thursday 3 PM:
PVR + Inox: 1,08,000
Cinepolis: 26,000
Total: 1,34,000 tickets
In comparison Pathaan sold 1.17 lac tickets in advance booking after 24 hours of advance and 6 days before release. At same time Jawan sold 1.40 lac tickets in national chains. Film has sold 2,50,000 tickets for 3 days which is fair number but still below par.
