Salman Khan’s Tubelight has recorded the highest first weekend collections of 2017, which it has managed to achieve inspite of the film taking a significantly below-par opening compared to other Salman Khan movies in recent times.
The collections are at around the same level as Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees which released on fewer screens and also faced competition from Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil in the same weekend.
Tubelight has also managed to find a spot in the Top 15 Highest first weekend collections of all time. It takes the 14th spot. The collections of Tubelight pale in comparison to other big openers like Sultan, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.
The collections of the dubbed Hindi version of ‘Bahubali 2: The Conclusion’ is the highest first weekend collections of all time.
Note: Only the first 3-day collections have been included, collections from ‘preview shows’ have been excluded.

Hakla n Xmas=Swadesh Flop
Tingu in Eid=Mela disaster(That year Mela was in Eid, check calender)
Current scenario

No.2 =Bauna Aamir Khan(He was no.3, but now has marched to no.2 overtking duniyaka sabse bada flopstar SRK)
No.3 =Flop SRK(He will soon go out of top-3)
Here is the proof
A. Lets compare Bhai and Aamir first
Lets compare Bhai and Aamir
In terms of footfalls
Bhai’s highest FF HAHK>>>>Aamirs highest RH
Bhais 2nd highest FF MPK>>>aamirs PK and RH

@INDICINE PUBLISH THIS
#TIGERZINDAHAI will shut mouth of all these barking Tingu and Hakla fans..
Only you are posting tubelight 2017 tops the best weekend chart….. why so?
And baahubali eben take hindi dubbed only what about that.
And whats personal grudges against kaabil hrithik?
Post all….dont delete the comments
Salman career is in interesting phase where he can not afford flop because according to Salman fans he is so called Megastar but tublight falied Salman career is in dangerous Well come Salman fans?
Sushant and Ranbir weekend way above Akshay kumar. Shame
Oh sorry sorry my bad
Raees ww weekend>Tubelight not domestic
Sorry
Why not posting indicine. Or clearly post on your website that indicine serves to promote the srk sal khan movies and to degrade hrithik. Finish it once and for all.
salman dont worry tzh 4so pakka
Another way to promot Flop movie LOL
EID Mubarak to the viewers and readers…
Hugely disappointed with Tubelight… And I’m sure Bhai will bounce back with TZH for Christmas 2017.
Once again EID Mubarak to all…
@indicine, HNY has come from 108 cr to 95 cr, CE from 100 to 88 cr and PRDP and tubelight hasn’t collections have not changed one bit …. what are u trying to prove really ????? why are u so biased towards Salman khan, acc to u a few weeks ago tubelight trailer had gotten good response but yesterday u mentioned in ur question and answer session that the the trailer was rejected … reallly never thought u would go to such a extent to cover Salman’s failures. a movie like BB and tubelight do goodds business then it’s commercial and when it doesn’t then it suddenly become niche … can I ask u which idiot has released a niche movie on 4500 screens more than Dangal, sultan and BB in India …
we all know clearly that This stupid site BOI gives updates for other movies but it doesn’t update tubelight collections.
distributors are crying because of losses and criminal is inflating the figures just cover up his pathetic image.
Fri- 19-20 cr
sat- 20 cr
sun – 22 cr
total- 62 cr
during Raees vs kaabil u went to a such limit that u reduced Raees collections from 20 to 19 cr stating we have reliable sources … where is ur reliable source now ???? where is ur honesty and so called unbiasedness ?????????
Indicine
Even if u subtract paid previews (6 crs) then it comes around 93crs. From where did u get this 88 crs figure ..?
a few weeks ago, Salman was bigger crowd puller than SRK and Aamir. yesterday all of them became equal ???
Acc to indicine tubelight is off-beat while it had songs, a big festive Eid release, Big director, Salman khan pan india star, bigger than the movie blah blah blah…
Dilwale surrounded by negativity, it was mainly for the masses whereas most of SS were grabbed by Eros did 21 cr and that too with clash against BM , Raees did 20 cr with clash it is not crowd pulling but tubelight doing 20 cr on 4500 screens solo release is called crowd pulling waah indicine waah !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tubelight is supposed to b salmans worst in years but it is still at the top(bollywood). .other so called superstars cant beat him at his worst then how they gna beat him at his best. . .3 so called superstars have 1 release this year and few of them even used red chilli and rakesh roshan calculator but alas they still cant beat salman. . .megastar for a reason
tubelight is stuggling at bo office on eid holiday–indicine so called mega star is stuggling –
indicine has promoted tubelight for almost 6 months on his site by giving fake opening predictions –28 crores and liftime 300+ crores
and Jhms Predicted only 150 crores liftime
result tubelight is stuggling to go past 120 crores liftime
and JHMS will easily go past 220 crores liftime
It will definitely cross 400 cr.. it will crush dangal”s record…. bahubali’S record in danger… hurricane is coming… salman will win film fare best actor award.. I hope bhai fan remember all these bhavishya-vani
In twitter Indicine is posting Shows r being cancelled due to low crowd and here collection telling a little bit different story!!which one is true @Indicine???? seems ‘Trade’ is sleeping ?
@Bivan, can you show us where we posted that shows are being cancelled?
Just managed to cross Raees.But still lower than clashed release Dilwale.
Best of 2017″!! Lol! aur kitna chamchagiri karoge indicine?
fan critics rating 3.5 BO 85cr
tubelight critics rating 2 BO 85 cr in 4 days
@The PHENOMenal Idiot
Lol
Abey illiterate peasant you got a fitting reply from Indicine so in future read n digest the article properly before spouting your vile filth all over the article…!
@hrithik
Yes a happy joyful Eid Mubarak to you n family.
Why are you not publishing today’s turnout… It clearly shows movie flopped very badly!! Only SRK is the crowd puller!!
Eid Mubarak to all peace loving muslims in India unlike those war mongering peasants from Porkistan who banned a peaceful love inspiring film like Tibelight…!
@4:46pm Bipin
Shows were being cancelled in January I recall when our Dadajis pro Paki friendly Raeesa Bhabhi was in theatres during first day itself but as Tubelight is concerned no shows were cancelled…!
Being a die hard salmaniac,would urge to all my Salmaniac brothers n sisters is that not to underestimate Aamirians,Srkians n other actors fan bases…For the last 2 years or so we salmanics have taken success for granted…Hurling abuses against other fan bases does great disservice amongst each other…Induldge in positive criticism not negative criticism or abuses…Give respect n take respect should be the mantra for all fan bases…1 flop doesn’t signal the end of the show…Salman Khan will be back with a bang in the form of TZH…Wishing all my Muslim brothers n sisters a very very happy n prosperous Eid…TC guys…?
Allu Arjun’s DJ grossed 100cr in opening weekend. Nice to see everyone accepting south movies especially Telugu.
This movie was risky. No action, masala, romance, mass dialouges and songs. Still with worst reviews and negative wom it is hanging on. Execution of the movie could’ve been better. After bahubali ,tiger zinda hai would’ve been the perfect movie this eid as echoed by indicine. Movie depends on connect. No amount of negativity can harm a star like salman if the film connects. Peace out until tiger roars on Christmas!!
So much negativity aroung still bhaijaan Starom rules big time.
Although megastar filed this time does nit matter to fan like me when he gave consecutive 11 back to blockbusters.
All eyes on TZH to get back his form and bang the haters.
I was planning to see tubelight but with sll the negative reviews i will give this one a miss…
So No Monday Eid day collection update, it means it’s doing nothing excellent on big day. So big flop for sure now
