One which was released in Diwali 2011, raked 114 crores at the box office, Aamir Khan starrer Thugs Of Hindostan collected 150 crores at the domestic box office, Ajay Devgn’s comedy entertainer Golmaal Again had a lifetime of 200+ crores at the domestic box office, it was Salman Khan’s Tiger 3, which despite being released on Diwali day, made the festival commercially viable for the big films to release. On the other hand, Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 opened at 44.50 Cr. and earned a lifetime collection of around 500 Cr. at the global box office. Just like he has made Eid synonyms for the film release, the superstar of the nation has paved the path for other filmmakers and actors to bring their films to the festive season.
