Ustaad (T24) was actually weighed. Thanks to the Biologist Dharmendra Khandal for sharing and confirming it with me.
T24 was weighed in 2009, when he was a subadult (around 3.5 years old). He weighed in at 240Kg, this was confirmed by the doctor who weighed and treated him.
T24 was born in Jan 2006 and weighed in April 2009.
The most important thing to remember here is that he was weighed when he was treated for his leg injury, Ustaad was in a bad shape and treated for 4 days. So IMO its possible that he could have weighed another 10Kg more in healthy conditions as a subadult.

Through another source I got an information that T24 was estimated to weigh around 600lbs when he was sedated at present (for the stomach treatment). They darted him with this dosage, but unfortunately it didnt bring him down so more dosage was used again. So its possible for T24 to weigh in around 600lbs at present, but I dont know whether he was weighed again this time.

The funny part is T24 is not the biggest tiger in Ranthambore, infact he is not the biggest in his own family. T25 aka Dollar (his brother) is the biggest in the family and T28 aka star male is the biggest known tiger in the park.
 

 

 
@Apollo, could you please show the reference or the personal communication that states the weight of Ustad (T24)? It will be perfect to use it, as the male was over 3 years old and the new report of @Pckts shows that in its adulthood, this tiger now weighs 250 kg, proved by scientists and un-baited!

By the way, did you get any body measurement from him?

T57Lesser seen tigers of Ranthambhore!!!
----------------------------------------------------
I was lucky enough to spot T 57 a rarely seen tiger who visits Zone 2 from Lahpur and 3 almost adult cubs of T13 and T43 in Zone 10!!! Here they are....T57 was a special and rather angry tiger who did not like tourists or their vehicles....Please correct me if I'm wrong! The sightings were important enough although not much of a photo opportunity!

hes the same male you posted a while back from Pandherpauni, theres currently Katezari and Namdev aka saturn sharing half the area and this youngster is mostly seen around Saturn's part of Pandherpauni and is tolerated so is most likely his son. He might be following daddy all the way from Kolara. Interesting specimen and hes also fought Gabbar in Dec 2014. His upperbody is full of scars at such a young age. Tadoba is going to have an interesting year.

 Praveen Siddannavar PhotographyDecember 9, 2014 ·Tigers of Ranthambhore - This is T64 also referred to as Aakash, he is the first litter of the famous tigress T19 (Krishna) who is currently in the limelight at Ranthambhore, she is raising 3 beautiful cubs. I was fortunate to document the cubs as well. As per the information I gathered, Aakash -T64 was born in February 2011, he is almost 3 years old and a fully grown adult, it was amazing to photograph him on a hill top, he was seen scent marking his territory. Will share more images of him shortly, until then enjoy this full frame; light was against me but still managed this shot. Thanks to my friend Vijayarajan Muthu for helping me id this tiger...

How do you say Corbett Tigers stack up to other tigers you have seen?
I hear they are massive cats.
TFS btw
 
Edit: My apologies, I misread, I see you were talking about Tadoba.
But if you have been to corbett or Kaziranga, we'd still be interested in your thoughts.
Thanks again

There is a HUGE male called Samraat from Pench.
This male was said to be massive and tall. He rules the Sillari range in Pench.
Here is a couple of pics of Samraat.

Male tiger from Kaziranga.

The photographer says
[align=-webkit-center]"When first spotted around Jan 2014, I thought this male was doomed for sure... his right ear was missing, right eye was closed and the hole on his forehead could accommodate a ping pong ball. At first I thought it ws caused by a wild buff but closer scrutiny made it look suspiciously like a bullet hole. He limped across a sand bank across the Brahmaputra.... not to be seen again. In January 2015 he sat by the forest path in the fast fading light.... looking at me for about 4/5 minutes before crossing over for a drink. He is a fighter..... probably one of the noblest fighters on this planet. May the one eared braveheart's roar reverberate across the glens and forest paths till he dies a natural death. I am sure his spirit will never die as long as this fabulous land is allowed to exist by us... humans."[/align]

Oh, very sad, thats the same tiger that was recently posted.
He is still a fine specimen, just on the lighter side for Kaziranga Tigers.
Hopefully he some how makes a miraculous recovery, but how could he with a bullet lodged in his head.
