In the cinematic clash of 2023, where Shah Rukh Khan’s “Jawan” emerged as a record-breaking blockbuster, Salman Khan’s “Tiger 3” faced unexpected turbulence at the box office. Despite its grandeur and star-studded cast, “Tiger 3” failed to replicate the success of its predecessors, earning 466 crores, and the blame game ensued. Renowned filmmaker Sanjay Gupta, recognized for his directorial prowess in films like “Kaante” and “Shootout at Lokhandwala,” stepped into the discussion, attributing “Jawan’s” monumental success as the reason for “Tiger 3’s” lackluster performance.

Sanjay Gupta’s Perspective:
In a bold assertion on his social media handle, Sanjay Gupta expressed his conviction that the triumph of “Jawan” overshadowed the potential success of “Tiger 3.” Gupta, an experienced filmmaker with a deep understanding of industry dynamics, asserts that the order of release was a crucial factor.
If “Tiger 3” had hit the screens before “Jawan,” Gupta contends, the narrative might have been drastically different, with “Tiger 3” emerging as the clear box office victor.
Sanjay Gupta’s Statement: “Tiger 3 has all the elements of a box office hit, but the director of Jawan, Atlee, set the bar too high, leaving the audience underwhelmed with Tiger 3.”
I strongly feel that had TIGER 3 come before JAWAN things would have been different.

It’s just that Atlee set a whole new benchmark with every scene he shot.
Examining the Release Timeline:
“Tiger 3,” directed by Maneesh Sharma, entered theaters on November 11, 2023, backed by a colossal budget of 300 crores. However, the tale of “Jawan,” helmed by Atlee and featuring Shah Rukh Khan in a stellar performance, unfolded earlier on September 7, 2023. “Jawan” garnered widespread acclaim not only for SRK’s acting prowess but also for Atlee’s exceptional direction. The film boasted a stellar cast, including Nayanthara, Deepika Padukone, Sanya Malhotra, and others in pivotal roles.
The Impact of “Jawan” Success:
Sanjay Gupta’s argument hinges on the notion that the towering success of “Jawan” influenced audience expectations and perceptions, setting a benchmark that “Tiger 3” struggled to match. While the storyline of “Tiger 3” received its share of criticism, Gupta contends that the film possessed all the quintessential elements for box office triumph.
