‘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 |
if tubelight come on normal day without holiday then below 70cr lifetime biggest digaster
even sohail khan can give ATBB with TZH as it is a sequel to an ATBB film
biggest holiday period , over 4350 screens solo release with 2 weeks still flop pani ma dub marna chiya eis flop star ko . south ka movie copy carke thoda hit huwa abhi phirse aagaya uska purana line ma
some credits goes to legand sohil khan too
Stop calling this loser a megastar. He is not deserving of this title at all. His all so called blockbusters were safe genre released during safe periods and had many advantages to it. If you want to use that title then only aamir deserves to be called mwgastar. Salman is very small compared to him. Neither he is able to break or make life time records neither his non holiday movies are able to break any opening day record as seen with tubelight. His so called bumper openers were released on national holiday. Aamir hasn’t had any national holiday release in this decade. So clearly aamir is the biggest megastar of bollywood. That title only belongs to aamir not this overhyped local star.
Tubelight beats Bombay velvet in terms of distributors loss
Huge disaster after Rangoon
@indicine Just want to ask your view now on Kaabil as now even Kaabil did good then only on 40 % screens to reach about 100 crore. Even that is commandable when Raees got 130 crore with 60 percent screen share why you kept degrading Hrithik with having 97 – 100 crore with only 40 percent screenshare?
srk is always jealous. he can’t c some1 over going him.
It will not cross 130 cr
After consecutive 11 back to back blockbusters one flop does not affect the megastardom of bhai.
Some morons do not understand that one flop will not change the status????
By the way all eyes on TZH to get back the form back?????
@indicine Prabhudeva diercting Dabbang3 artilce please????
@INDICINE…. Please post the article of Dabbang 3 coming next year EID and directed by Prabhudeva

Hahhaa. Talaash which is semi hit in Domestic and superhit in overseas is flop, but Diwale, Raees (Masala entertainer semi hits) and Jai ho (semi hit) is success. Hansi nahi ruk rahi meri to. Sochte kaha se ho.
@KK & @AamirKhan(jhandu) Say you want to your fellows. First of all Aamir is not begging you to watch his movie, he makes great cinema that’s automatically forces to other fans bases to come in theatre. And mind you TOH ko koi nahi ROK Sakta. It will be biggest opener of all time and only bad content can make it to fall below 400cr mark.
Aamir is real boxoffice king this decade.
and Funny think I read on twitter, Salman & Srk fans talking about 100cr, while Aamir fans celebrating 2000cr of Dangal.
Tiger abhi zinda hai……lekin kis Halat me hai…o to release ke bad hi Pat chalega……..hahaha…..lallu’s Fan’s….will gone mad….too much fun…
Feeling v.sad. Bt one is quite certain is that he will make v.strong comeback which will give shock waves again to all his haters.

Thank God rajesh Ji ka record safe hai….agar rajesh Ji ka record ek sadak chaap ganwaar eid made criminal non actor todta to bahut dukh hota mujhe. ..offf
@Vishal- LOL, people only remember SRK’s DDLJ, Swades and CDI..?? SRK has at least 30 classics.
There is no shame to accept that Tubelight is a massive flop. I urge all Salmanics to accept the failure graciously and do not indulge in unnecessary arguments. However that does not mean we have stopped loving our Bhaijaan. We will continue to support, love & idolized him. I feel this is blessing in disguise now Tiger Zinda Hai will be most awaited as Bhaijaan will be back in his usual avatar. One or two flops won’t make much difference to him. Haters, its your time relish as much as possible because it is not gonna last longer !!!!!!!!
Tubelight is an emotional experience but Salman’s role is under written and simply doesn’t suit his persona though he did a Commandable acting specially his emotional scenes. Such movies can’t be released on Eid & festivals. Horrible decision !!!!!!!
@bandar aka sundar : The list is long for feku king, Dilwale, FAN, Raees and looking at buzz of WHMS expect another debacle.
