T3 was released on 12 November 2023
Salman Khan’s big film T3 marks its first anniversary today. It was one of the most anticipated films of 2023 and the biggest film of Salman Khan since 2019. T3 was predicted to become a high grossing film at the box office. But what happened, shocked everyone. T3 went wrong and worse.
T3
T3 is the fifth film for the YRF Universe. Among the characters of Ti Pathaan, and Kabir, T is the most popular character as the T film initiated the foundation of the YRF Universe.
YRF Universe is amongst the biggest and most successful film franchises in India.
TZH (2017) earned over 330 crores in India and over 600 crores globally.
ETT (2012) earned over 200 crores in India and over 300 crores globally.
T3 (2023) earned over 270 crores in India and over 450 crores globally despite mixed reviews. All the films from the YRF Universe have received positive reviews. But, T3 received mixed reviews and criticism for its story, screenplay, and direction. Even the makers of the film were shocked by the performance of T3.
T3 didn’t fail at the box office practically. But the film underperformed considering the hype of the YRF films and the superstardom of Salman Khan. Actually, whatever business T3 achieved at the box office is only because of the superstardom of Salman Khan. Otherwise, the film would have flopped terribly.
So, what went wrong with T3
T3 had a terrible release date. The film was released during festive season when almost every Indian citizen was busy celebrating the festival. Also, T3 released during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 which was held in India. Nobody would be interested in watching a film when the Indian Cricket Team is playing semi-finals and finals of the World Cup in India.
T3 had everything. It was made on a budget of 300 crores. They had an amazing stunt team. They had a great start cast of Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Emraan Hashmi. But, T3 didn’t have the main thing, the story.
The story of T3 seemed to be foolish. Forget the story. The direction, screenplay, music, and editing of T3 were worse, especially after watching a film like Pathaan in the same year.
Salman Khan did everything to save the film and it is because of him that T3 is still a hit. Emraan Hashmi is an excellent actor but he looked unconfident as the main protagonist of the film.
The story of T3 was written by the film’s producer Aditya Chopra and the film was directed by Maneesh Sharma. They both are to be blamed for T3’s underperformance.
Moving on, the future of YRF Universe is amazing. They have films like W2 and Alpha set to release in 2025. Pathaan 2 is currently under production and writing is going on.
There won’t be another T film anymore. T3 was the last film of Salman Khan as T.
But Aditya Chopra, CEO and head of YRF Entertainment is planning the biggest Indian film ever. He is planning a two hero film with Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan in the lead. Both actors will reprise their roles of Pathaan and T in a film titled ‘T vs P’. It is said to be released in 2030 under the direction of Sidharth Anand.
