Salman Khan to compensate losses suffered by distributors on ‘Tubelight’

It’s official. Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has decided to compensate the losses suffered by distributors on ‘Tubelight’, a film that became his biggest box office failure during Eid.

The domestic sub-distributors of the film have suffered heavy losses on ‘Tubelight’, with some of them not even recovering 50% of their investment.

Salman’s father Salim Khan confirmed the decision to compensate, adding that a final decision will be taken after the film ends in run theatres.

“Yes, we have assured them that we will share their losses. There are no two ways about this. There is no doubt we shall compensate them. Ab kitna karenge, woh decide karna baaki hai (How much we compensate is yet to be decided). This can’t be decided in a meeting of just 1 or 2 hours” Salim Khan said.

“Tubelight is still running and paise aa rahen hain (the film is still earning). When it all ends and we look into the final accounts, we will decide how much we can share the losses suffered by the distributors” he added.

The Kabir Khan directed film was expected to collect over 300 crore at the box office, but finished with lifetime business of less than 125 crore.

  • @Salman Fan
    No verdict remains unchanged. This mutual understanding between producers and distributors does not determine Verdicts. Verdict is given by how a film performs at a box office. If we go by thus logic then even SRK’s Fan and Aamir’s Talaash will be hit.
    TZH will roar at the box office. I request all fellow Salmanics to graciously accept this fiasco and move ahead. Cheers!

  • @ mental navina, but I am sure SRK looks more handsome than your dadaji.get lost from here u paki peasant.

  • With just one movie Indicine reduced Salman Khan power from megastar to superstar.. LOL… but just before release of tubelight, Indicine saying it requires another 5 years garauntee for Salman Khan film to reach 200 crore easily because people like to see Salman on screen and nothing else…. My foot!!!! This is a reality check to all who praise nonactors ….

    SRK is still the best as his first weekend always highly consistent due to the superstardom!! Just imagine if SRK acted in Bajrangi bhaijaan and 3 idiots…

  • This was seriously not required..Have they ever shared profits with Salman??? And nobody forced them to buy Tubelight it was their own decision. Its a bussiness Kabhi profite kabhi loss hota hai…
    If they want compensation for Tubelight I want them to share their profits with salman for TZH…

  • Sorry for off topic comment:

    Indicine Sultan has won the Award of “Best Action Movie at Shanghai International Film Festival”….It is become the 1st Indian film to ever win Prestigious Jackie Chan award……But there is no article on this…..WHY???

    Can we expect an article?????

  • They lost 50 crs and they r complaining and want money back but they earned more than 500 crs from Salman’s films and they never offered Salman extra money. They lost 50 crs in Tubelight & they want in return but when they got benefit of more than 100 crs during BB they definitely they wouldn’t have given salman a single extra Rupees.

  • Being human… Our Megastar bhaijaan!!!

    Sher zakhmi kya hogaya…. Kutte bhokna shuru ker diye!!!!

    TZH!!!!!!

  • @Khiladi, how did Srk compensate for the torture to audience for super ra.one, epic happy new year, and akki for tees maar khan, blue, kambakht ishq, joker and a lot many?

  • Never knew that megastar is bigger word than superstar. Bythe way Rajesh khanna was a superstar or megastar??

  • I challenge Srk’s jab harry met sejal to beat 64cr non holiday weekend of tubelight during ramdan.
    Jab harry met sejal may beat tubelight lifetime because tubelight with a disaster wom collected half of badrinath ki dulhania(much less than Hindi medium) in 2nd weekend.

  • i dont think this is a right thing distributor had made so much paisa by his previos movie and they has lost money they are showing their tears to him …..this is very bad …its pure business and business has two faces one is profit and second is loss bhai ws always profitable for them but this tym theyy shwing their real face to bhai …….par bhai ka tym bhi ayegga is dec…when he will show all of u that TIGER ZINDA HAI..chunn chunn ke badla legaa…..hahaha …..waiting TZH…..but eagerly waiting #JHMS…………….TRAILOR KAB NIKALOGE YAAR

  • @Deepak Hooda
