Understanding YRF's calculated move behind Diwali release
YRF recently disclosed its rationale for releasing Tiger 3 on Diwali.
YRF Vice President Rohan Malhotra explained, "What came to our mind was that it is important for us not to look at the opening day numbers but to focus on what is eventually going to benefit."
"In the case of Tiger 3, we felt that going on Laxmi Puja day...which is considered the weakest day to release a film, would be a better fit for our film," he added.
