Salman Khan’s Tubelight is a colossal failure at the box office. The film that has been rejected by the superstar’s fans, as well as the normal movie going audience.
Box office performance wise, ‘Tubelight’ is the biggest disappointment for Salman since his staggering rise to the top of the industry after 2010’s Dabangg. It’s also his first failure after Eid became a festival for film releases in the country.
The film was below-the-mark right from the first day at the box office, but there was hope that it would grow with the beginning of the Eid festivities on Monday. The growth did not come, but with Eid celebration coming to an end on Tuesday, the crash did. ‘Tubelight’ tanked at the box office Wednesday onwards and the slide will continue in the second weekend too.
Shows were reduced at multiplexes on Wednesday itself due to lack of audience. The occupancy for the morning and noon shows at several centres was lower than what ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ was getting in its 3rd week.
While the producers of the film have made their profits by selling various rights of the film, ‘Tubelight’ is a major disaster for the distributors. The film fetched insanely high amounts as ‘minimum guarantee’ and most haven’t yet recovered even half of their investment. The trend of paying fancy prices for the star-value, without factoring-in the reach, concept or box office potential of the film itself, has cost the industry a lot of money.
It’ll be the case in the near future too, as we have films lined up for release that have fetched high prices because of the star, but the content and concept isn’t justifying the price.

@sahir JOver-actorMS
wat abt the huge profits they made with salman movies b4 tubelite
Luk who is barking srkay fans….lol
it becoz of ur outdatd over-actor…audience rejectd tubelite.. which is better many bolywd blockbstrs
salman must b asking himself “maine sarook ko kyun cast kiya”
Still the only MEGASTAR! RA ONE came with so much hype, akon sang, holiday release , state of the art vfx, Rajinikanth , unseen publicity stunt , still 89cr. Red chillies CALCULATOR helped it to 105cr. It’s not easy to cross 100cr, so shut up all ya. Thunder will fire Kabir Khan anyway .
If bhai is good hearted man… so called by his fans… he should return the money of distributor and exhibitors and show that he is real MAN.. he didn’t even returned money when jai ho was tanked money..only his brother sohail made money out of it.. only real superstars didn’t care about money like SRK AND RAJANI SIR because they are man of integrity and honesty
@javeeeda
Peasant boy we are still LOL at Phankhas epic failure to cross 90cr despite a holiday opening n being a supposedly CONTENT RICH crapfest unlike Tubelight which didnt get a holiday opening nor was it hailed as being CONTENT RICH…!
For the record CONTENTLESS HOLIDAYLESS Tubelight has smashed CONTENT RICH HOLIDAY OPENING Phankhas lifetime total within 5 days…!
SRK lickers Indicine, pls note that Tubelight will cross Raees easily. Remember Raees’ exxagerated figures, ignoring which Tubelight would have crossed Raees by second weekend. If Tubelight is a colossal failure what does that make Raees.
@KANZ
IF I REMEMBER U USE 2 HYPE UP ANYTHING IN RELATED TO TL AND NOW UR ACTING LIKE A CHILD LETS MOVE ON
1 FLOP WONT CHANGE NOTHING U R WRONG IT WILL CHANGE THE PERCEPTION FOR FUTURE RELEASE
IF U CAN GIVE IT LEARN TO TAKE IT AS WELL
@Sayar : Forget Tushar Kapoor you just imagine srk (I know ETT was offered to him) in Tiger role and laugh unstoppably !!!!! Lol
If they fit the role why Salman was hired again for sequel ? Please become an advisor to YRF and Adi and recommend Srk or Tushhar world will see how much it will collect ?
@Sunny toilet : And Canadian desh bhakt aukaat is 17 crs opening and 120 crs lifetime that too his fans + neutral audience. With his fans alone he will be a 60 crs club king !!!!!! ??
@Indicine : Failure accepted but brace for TZH !!!!!!!
@Javed : You were supposed to die (as per your own words) and watching Raees was your last wish. People like you are cancer for humanity, you gained false sympathy by doing some Ebola or xyz disease Natal and now you are fit & fine to bash Salman and celebrate Salman’s failure. Thoo hai tujh par !!!!!!!!
If Tiger takes one step back it doesn’t mean he is afraid but he is getting ready for a fatal attack !!!!!!

Salman Khan starrer Tubelight had very few footfalls in India and the overseas market had little or no footfalls at all. A theatre in the capital city of Belgium, Brussels has come up with a unique marketing idea to garner footfalls by claiming that the film is a Shahrukh Khan starrer.
It looks like even Shahrukh Khan could not save Salman Khan from facing a box office debacle through Tubelight and the collections are pretty average. Overall, the audiences seemed to be unimpressed by the film and even Salman’s performance is being questioned.
@Javed : At least Salman have BB & Sultan what SRK have ?? Srk will never beat BB collections in his life this is my open challenge. For a fool like you every Srk movie supposed to beat PK and now Dangal and we know the results !!!!!!
Only one failure of Salman and dog(srkian) bark but they should remember that BB and Sultan is also salman’s film which make 300cr net in India. But now a days Srk film are not abled to make half of BB and Sultan collection. Ha ha ha… lol
Well wt can I say .I am feeling bad for the distributers of fuselight .they are suffering huge losses of 80 crores plus..may God give them strength as bhaiyyu khan will not compensate their losses……BTW distributers should now avoid taking future movies of bhaiyyu…it will be a tight slap on bhaiyyu and his fans……coming to topic of course fuselight is a super colloidal failure and a tight tight big slap right on the pathetic non acting face of crappy khan …. srks fan and dilwale ; hrithiks kites and mohenjodaro ; aamirs Talaash and dhobi ghaat, akshays brothers and blue are looking baahubali 2 in comparison to fuselight .enough said ..salman whole india is spitting on your face ..saara india tumhare mooh par thoook raha hai ..Thooooo thoooooo thoooooo thoooooo.
Here is a list of “”GOD” OF INDIA NAMED RAAAAJEESH KHANNA. consecutive megahits golden / platinum jubilee hits films from 1969 to 1972 1.1969_ a aradhana, doli, itefaq,do raaste, khamoshi, bandhan 1970_ the train; sachha jhutha; safar 1971 _kati patang, anand; aanmilosajna, Mary ada, andaaz; mehboob ki mehndi, haathi mere saathi, 1972 _ dushman, amar prem, apna desh, baawarchi, mere jeevansaathi, shehjaada. ….source Wikipedia and imdb.. . After 1972 from 1973 to 1991 rajesh khanna again gave 40 golden jubilee hits and 15 silver hits .in total rajesh khanna gave 105 box office hits………salman tumhare mooh par thoook take hoon main thoooooo thoooooo.
Salman khan aka record holder of 55 mega disasters suno koi eid par bhi maha disaster deta hiatus kya..bombay velvet raam goal verma ki Aag aur rangoon are looking baahubali 2 in front of fuselight now…Thooooo salman thoooooo.
@indicine, please take action against fake ‘Nikhil’ at 3:13 pm.
Still Tubelight is bigger than Fan movie.
@Aamir Khan
A simple advice to you
Don’t comment when u r drunk
@anand… PUT TUBELIGHT IN THE SCENARIO OF ANY ABOVE MENTIONED MOVIES OF SRK..viz RAEES DILWALE AND FAN..
MARK MY WORD IT WON’T TOUCH WHAT THESE MOVIE ACHIEVED..
CHALO I ACCEPT THE FACT FAN IS UTTER CRAP AND TUBELIGHT IS AHEAD FROM THAT… BUT WHAT RAEES AND DILWALE THEY CLASHED WITH BIG MOVIES… STILL TUBELIGHT IS CHASING THERE COLLECTION.. AND M SURE IT WON’T COLLECT MORE THEN THIS MOVIES..
M NOT BASHING SALMAN HERE.. U SHOULD LEARN TO MOVE ON….
YA TOH EK KAAM KAR JANTAR MANTAR PE SAB KO LEKE DHARNE PE BAITH JA..??
Colossal failure…Distributors lost 85 crores…staggering
Will the Good hearted Bhai return money ? Srk did refund distributors and so did Rajnikanth in south
If tube light would not be an eid release it would have collected less than Fan…Mark my words – max collection would have been 75 crores

abey hutiye, it was salman who offerd help at the time of Jai Ho not ur fake hero.
@Ram & @faulty remote control : There is no Salman fan in coma or hiding unlike feku king fans during Fan & Dilwale !!!!! We are very much active and have accepted Tubelight failure graciously but it is a failure of movie not Salman. Remember that !!!!!

Salman – Today, 90% of viewers in India and Asia – yesterday’s peasants, urban slum dwellers and their children … The rapid development of the economy has given them a job, earnings, they have increased the cinema audience … But the level of thinking – they are still in the past century …. For these viewers primitive movies of your idols about the village, fighting in panties, film – animation etc.
