Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer _Tiger Zinda Hai_ has emerged as a New Year gift for the entire Hindi film industry in the truest sense. The jinx of box-office failure cast on big/commercial films has finally been broken, thanks to Tiger. The Ali Abbas Zafar directorial has been on a record-breaking money-sweeping spree ever since its release on 22 December, 2017.

The cash registers don’t seem to have stopped ringing; the Salman-starrer has witnessed steady inflow of collections so far as it nears a three-week long run at the box office. Film-trade analyst and critic Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and revealed the latest box office collection of the Yash Raj Films’ action-drama. He posted:
#TigerZindaHai continues its STEADY RUN... Expected to cross ₹ 300 cr mark today [Sat; Day 16]… [Week 3] Fri 3.72 cr. Total: ₹ 295.27 cr. India biz. #TZH

With no major Bollywood releases lined up for a while, Tiger Zinda Hai definitely has a huge advantage. All of 2017 was plagued by the failure of major films starring huge names — _Tubelight_ and _Jab Harry Met Sejal_ being the biggest of these. Hence, TZH’s record-breaking performance comes as sweet relief for the industry in general. Tiger Zinda Hai is a sequel to the 2012 Kabir Khan film Ek Tha Tiger and chronicles the romance/adventures of cross-border lovers Tiger (played by Khan) and Zoya (played by Kaif) whilst they engage in high-octane missions.
