Abstract : In this work, we study the X-ray polarization and estimate the intrinsic flux of Cygnus X-3 using funnel geometry of the disk-wind outflows. We study the possible presence of cold ionizing plasma responsible for exceptionally low cutoff in the spectra. Additionally, the study aims to analyze the absence of X-ray variability beyond 0.1 Hz and explore the fluctuations in line emissions present in the source during the course of orbital phase by performing the broadband spectral and temporal study using simultaneous observations from Astrosat and Insight-HXMT instruments. We also show that for the known inclination of the disk and the observed polarization, the source's emission surpasses the Eddington limit for this particular model.
