Tiger 3 ban: Tiger 3 is just two days away from hitting the screens but seems like there could be a dent in its big release worldwide. The Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer might face a ban in a few selective Gulf countries. There’s no official confirmation on the same yet but the internet is full of chatter about how these countries might object to a few scenes in the film.
Various reports suggest that the censor board will take its good time to pass the film because of a few scenes including Katrina‘s highly popular towel-fight scene. Oman, Kuwait and Qatar are the countries where the decision of the screening remains pending and the fans are praying hard to not miss on the fun this Sunday when the whole world witnesses the roar of the Tiger on screens.
Earlier, films like Samrat Prithviraj, The Dirty Picture, Padmaavat, PadmanThe Kashmir Files, OMG and Bell Bottom faced a ban in many Gulf countries and couldn’t get the Censor certification for mass viewing. It is to be seen if history repeats itself with Tiger 3 as well. Meanwhile, apart from Katrina’s towel scene, showing terror activities in Pakistan via villain Aatish Rahmani aka Emraan Hashmi, is another scene which is in contention with the value system being promoted and observed in the Gulf countries.
Many social media users informed on X (formerly Twitter) that they can’t see Tiger 3 in advance bookings online. One user wrote, “Bhai Qatar me 30 min pehle tak coming soon show kar Raha tha advance booking me #Tiger3 lekin ab nahi show kar raha hai its true. Maine calls bhi kiye cinema halls me usnko bhi nahi pata kuch bhi (sic).” Another said, “Not whole Arabian Gulf states, just Oman & Qatar. The rest of the Gulf countries are fine, and the advance booking is in process (sic).” Check these tweets to know more about the issue:

Tiger 3 shows Salman on a personal mission to Pakistan where Aatish is hellbent on taking revenge for something he might have unknowingly done in the past. Tiger aka Avinash Rathore will protect his family and also try to gain his respect back as India’s most trusted and heroic spy with the help of his buddies – Pathaan (SRK from Pathaan) and Kabir (Hrithik Roshan from War). It will be interesting to see how the action takes this film ahead of the other spy movies in the YRF universe.
Meanwhile, the advance booking for the film in India already crossed Rs 12 crore by the end of Thursday. The Maneesh Sharma directorial has sold around 4.6 lakh tickets for the opening day. The collection will increase as the Diwali day nears but the Monday earnings are expected to be bigger than Sunday. What do you think about its opening day business?
