Tubelight box office collections: Salman Khan starrer shows growth on Day 2
Salman Khan's latest Eid release Tubelight continues its steady pace at the box office.
Salman Khan's latest Eid release Tubelight has hit the theatres this Friday. The Kabir Khan directorial has Salman playing the character of Laxman, who's a man child. The film opened to mixed reviews by both the critics and audience. It's not a usual Salman Khan film, it has a lot of emotional quotients to offer to which is a little hatke for Salman to portray onscreen.
The film showed a growth on Day 2 and has earned INR 21.17 crore. When compared to Salman's other EID released, it fell short of around INR 4-5 crore as a Kick had done 24.97 crore nett and Bajrangi Bhaijaan 26.67 crore nett and both these films were also pre-Eid releases.
During a recent interaction with the media at an event, he was asked about the low rating by the critics. He said, "The critics were really good. I was expecting minus 3 and minus 4 but they gave 1, 1.5 apparently, so I am very pleased, As per reports, people are saying they can not see Bhai (Salman) crying. So I asked, are they (audience) laughing and the answer was “no, they are crying”. So I said don’t worry about it."
He further added, "As it is an Eid release, people have preconceived notions and plans to throw coins, sing and dance at the cinema hall. So they have gone to watch a certain film but get to watch another film. This film is not of a kind which you watch with your buddies as you will not get an opportunity to dance or have fun. It is a very emotional film. Even an emotionless, stone hearted person will get tears in his eyes. So this is an emotional film to be seen with parents, grandparents and the entire family.”
