‘Tubelight’ has flopped at the domestic box office and Salman Khan has failed for the first time this decade during Eid. The film failed to show the kind of growth that it needed on the big holiday for Eid. It has collected Rs 83 crore in 4 days at the box office, with the lowest collections coming on the Eid holiday.
The circuits and centres that were affected by Razman showed good growth on Monday, but business witnessed major falls at places where the impact of Eid was limited over the weekend. The film could collect around 110-115 crore by the end of its first week and the second weekend will decide whether the film can go on to become the highest Hindi grosser of the year.
The struggle for a film like ‘Tubelight’ during Eid to easily beat a 132-crore grosser like ‘Raees’ has sent shock-waves within the industry. It also shows the extremely unpredictable side of film business, as most in the trade were expecting it to comfortably cross the 100 crore mark by the end of the Eid holiday on Monday.
Meanwhile, Salman’s golden run during Eid has finally come to an end after 6 consecutive box office blockbusters. Between 2010 to 2016, the megastar had 6 Eid releases – Dabangg, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Kick, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan – and almost all of them went on to be record-openers and major box office grossers.
His latest release, directed by the same man (Kabir Khan) who gave him his biggest grosser and arguably his career-best film (Bajrangi Bhaijaan), is also likely to give him his biggest failure since ‘Veer’ in January 2010.
The consistency that Salman has shown over the years – making even the most mediocre and critically rejected films, into major commercial successes at the box office – by his sheer presence and stardom, is incredible to say the least.
Questions over his stardom are now being raised by the very people who hailed him as the top star not too long ago – which also goes to show that the only thing that matters for the film industry and trade is the last Friday – even if it is for a star who carried two out of his last three films over the 300 crore mark.
The official collections of the film are as follows:
| Tubelight | Collections | Growth / Drop |
| Day 1 (Friday) | 21.15 crore | - |
| Day 2 (Saturday) | 21.17 crore | - 1% |
| Day 3 (Sunday) | 22.45 crore | + 6% |
| Day 4 (Monday) | 19.09 crore | - 15% |
| Day 5 (Tuesday) | 12.00 crore | - 37% |
| Day 6 (Wednesday) | 6.50 crore | - 46% |
| Day 7 (Thursday) | 4.50 crore | - 31% |
| Week 1 | 106.86 crore | |
| Day 8 (Fri) to 10 (Sun) | 8.25 | |
| Day 11 (Mon) to 14 (Thu) | 3.40 | |
| Day 15 (Fri) to 21 (Thu) | 0.68 | |
| Day 22 (Fri) to 28 (Thu) | 0.07 | |
| India Total Collections | 119.26 crore |
@ Aamir Khan dilwale , fan and raees never get 4 stars all critices rejected movie and clashed movie still 150 cr for dilwale and 139 cr for raees for tubelight that looks hard now .
KRK review was right and he said maxium 140cr kamai karege bolke
this coment section is looking dull and boring without like dislike wala system indicine plz bring back like/dislike options
salman khan comperision with salman khan this is called super stardom
To all srk and sk fans, Talaash was not a mass film. Hence, Aamir khan did not promote it extensively and didn’t release it on Christmas. Also, it was not sold for high price because Aamir knew that it was a small film. Also, the suspense element was dislosed after the first show of film. Still it did 95 crores and it was a hit film.
Similarly, secret superstar is a small film and Aamir is doing a cameo in it. Accordingly this movie won’t be promoted much. It falls ib the category of hindi medium, dear zindagi type films. But few srk, sk fans will compare secret superstar and Talaash to show low collections of Aamir’s film.
Also, please note that because of Demonitization Dangal did not cross 400 crores.
Almost all Aamir khan movies are classics and have repeat value on TVs. People still remember and watch Jo jita wahi sikander, Sarfarosh, Lagaan, Dil chahta hai, Rangeela, Andaj apna apna, rang de basanti, 3 idiots, taare zameen par, pk.
In case od SRK, people remember only DDLJ, swades and chuk de india.
In case of Salman, people remember only Hum aap ke hai kaun and bajrangi bhaijan.
Haha
Indicine what wrong with u ….TL is doing well every film has its aidience ….bhai jab shirt utaaregaa box office faadegaa…and by the way raees 139 not 132…for BO we always follow taran aadarsh not u……be perfect not on ur owns…..
this may not change much for Salman status but it clearly shows that those 300cr+ grossers of the two reigning khans are not because of their super stardom alone but most importantely thanks to the relatable content and the other struggling khan is not able to do like them not because he lost his starpower but because he is making bad choices; working with wrong directors and going for bad ideas!!
Team indicine – in your previous article which was external threat to Hindi cinema I post the comment that bahubali 2 not just done the business it also has won the Hindi audience phsyci and it will impact more . The tubelight is flop not because if the content but because many Hindu people are rejecting shit its not about stardom but the content which win only Muslim fan are watching film but Hindu audience has already rejected.now new threat will be 2.0 .Bollywood filmmaker need to make something big n entertaining otherwise get ready for more setback
Bahubali one was made of 150 crore tubelight budget announce 100 crore where the hell 100 crore spent if salman Khan is the producer
Shame on Bhai ke feku fans ….if it was released on non holiday thn it would had collected 70cr max …..lolzzzzzz…..baap baap (SRK)hota hai AUR BETA beta(Salman) hota hai
LOLOLOLOL at JHMS :D
Not a Srk fan at all…but some dialogues used in His movies are so relevant…here one For Our Bhaijaan…”Kismat badi kutti cheez hai…saali kabhi bhi palat jaati hai…”…So U can’t be overconfident and take anything granted at all at any point of Your Life!!
TZH will be record breaking for It’s genre & star cast!!
this is good news for all of us… now they will not dare copy Hollywood films..Indians will now become genuinely honest!!
Indicine
Apna verdict apne pass rakhiye..
Why r uh so jealous of Salman Khan??
Ek mauka Kya Mila 4 days me tubelight ko flop Kar Diya…
Dekh Lena 150 crs Kar ke rahegi Tubelight..
Thank you
lol… Where are those idiot.salman fans ??? Feel the taste of Flop….
Whenever salman works with sohail it’s mega disaster
Indicine i can not understand ur verdict yes fan was flop because lifetime 84 cr but budget 105 cr.tubelight lands into dilwale and raees categories although its a offbeat compared to the others.i accept dilwale and raees are semi hits but tubelight flops why only for distributor share.perception wise it is not flop it may be avg or semi hit.if at 150 cr a movie flops then only one or two movies are crossing that figure in a year what about those movies expectations.Till now i have not seen any movie crossing its budget by 50% is called a flop.then ra one,dilwale,jai ho,raees these are also flops.
Where is Navin, tiger etc…Lol… They are now going to suicide…
Being a salman fan it is the first time that i haven’t seen a movie of salman nor i hv interested in tubelight, worst teaser,trailor,concept,un recognized stars,SOHAIL,disaster music,no entertainment value,fully offbeat movie and the most important thing i dont lyk salman in these type of roles.
indicine please give an article for dilwale vs tubelight vs raees day by day collection article .And if distribution share is the main parameter to judge a movie verdict then why we tend to see a movie budget against its collection it should be collection vs distribution price.
it is only for salman that tubelight is running so steady otherwise this have fallen flat or badly crashed.i still believe that it may cross 150 cr because of huge no of salman fans but the problem is it is totally opposite from salman fans expectation.
some idiots are calling talash a failure,ha ha ha,till 2012 only ghajini(114)3 idiots(202)dabang(141),ready(,121),bodyguard(145) Rowdy Rathore(135),ra one 114 don 2 106,jthj 101cr ,golmal 3 108cr have crossed 100 cr marked, but being an silent thriller 40 cr budget movie crossed 95 cr without nothing to offer. and its release date after two weeks of sos and jthj in diwali periods and 1 week before khiladi 786.
Tubelight will be collect good amount in 2nd weekend.jo aamir k fan abhi bahut jyada bol rahe hai na thug of hindustan to flop ho hi gayi hai ab hum salman fan usko disasater bana k hi dum lenge aamir to giyo is baar.aur srkian jo chup rahe hai kahi par pehle 200cr tak to pahucho aur akki fan aap 150cr ka hi socho.
for clash it hardly matter for any movie that is good,it matters in minor cases for masala movies in the first weekend.for example rustom collects 127 cr in clash and bm collects 185 cr,and without clash they have done simailar to that. but for masala entertainer lyk raees and dilwale it affects only in the first weekend but not in weekdays,without clash raees -150cr and for dilwale it may cross 170 cr max solo.for example fan should collect same 80 cr if it clash with a Bollywood movie.
@ak akshay will also come back in 70cr club aab deshbhaki drama nehi chalegi
Why are these guys fighting forget about it move on to the next movie!!! He will bounce back with TZH!!!
