Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor's big Holi release, Baaghi 3 witnessed a record breaking start at the box office despite the pre-Holi dullness and coronavirus scare. The film, which released in 5,500 screens worldwide (4,400 in India and 1,100 overseas), collected Rs 17.50 crore on Friday. 

What's more? The film not only opened in double digits but also highest opening film of 2020. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted the numbers, "#Baaghi3 takes a big start on Day 1... Emerges biggest opener of 2020 [so far]... Fifth film of #TigerShroff to open in double digits... Single screens excel, plexes decent... Fri 17.50 cr. #India biz."

Directed by Ahmed Khan and backed by Sajid Nadiadwala, it also stars Riteish Deshmukh as Tiger's brother, and Ankita Lokhande.
