I second the suggestion to just use the RTL-SDR dongle in it's original
role as a DVB-T receiver. However, since you're sending DVB-T with
another SDR (the B210) you could send non-standard narrow band DVB-T.
For example, you could send 1 MHz wide DVB-T with a sample rate of
1.142857 Msps (8 / 7 Msps). Or you could send DVB-T at a sample rate
that's known to work well with the RTL-SDR.
Even 1 MHz wide DVB-T would support 3.9 Mbps with 64QAM and 7/8 code
rate. Enough for HD with H.264 video.
Unfortunately, the GNU Radio DVB-T receiver is a bit of a CPU hog. So
even narrow band DVB-T may be too much for the RPi3.
Here's a DVB-T bit-rate calculator. It takes integer bandwidths as input
(normally 6, 7 and 8), but could be modified for any sample rate.

Hi Sagnik,
I very strongly doubt the RPi3 will have enough compute power to do
DVB-T decoding from samples in software; also, DVB-T has wider
channels than the RTL-SDR dongle would allow you to stream to your PC
in sample form.
Of course, if you just actually want DVB-T reception, just use the
RTL-Dongle like the manufacturer intended it: as DVB-T receiver, which
does the decoding on-chip with the integrated specialized hardware.
The fact that you can alternatively use it as SDR frontend is just
because that part of the chip can be "bypassed".
Best regards,
Marcus

Hi.
Will the DVB-T Rx flowgraph in gr-DVB gnu radio, work well with
RTL-SDR connected to Raspberry Pi 3?
If not, is there any suggestion how can I receive and decode
video/picture data in raspberry Pi 3 and RTL-SDR?
The video/picture data is being transmitted by USRP B210.
