“Tubelight” was released in more than 800 screens in the United States, and considering the star value of Salman in the country, it is expected to gross more than $5 million at the end of this weekend. Well, fret not, when you have Salman Khan selling the idea of faith and belief, the buyers are unlimited.

Beginning in the pre-independence era, Tubelight quickly moves to the Indo-China war. The movie featured Anushka Sharma alongside Salman, and was a sports drama about wrestling. The slow-witted Laxman is extremely attached to his brother, and is devastated when his brother is made to join the Army to fight against the Chinese forces in the 1962 Sino-Indian War.
Zhu Zhu, the Chinese actress has done a decent job whereas Martin (the little kid) entertains very well.
Tubelight movie is finally out. We saw it in Bajrangi Bhaijaan and we see it again in Tubelight. Salman is playing the innocent guy role.
Not just for Salman and Zhu Zhu but also for his bromance with brother Sohail, which is the main highlight in the film. They both are having a special bond and love towards each other and they have no family to support them. Laxman doesn’t find this idea good, but eventually Bharat leaves to join the force. At the same time due to the war, the situation in the border will be severe.
However film critic Raja Sen would like to sound a note of caution. Kabir Khan’s screenplay is a delight.
Salman plays a role that is every bit antithetical to machismo that you can possibly imagine.
What else a Salman Khan fan wish for other than a release of a movie on Friday and Eid on Sunday. “And that’s why Zhu Zhu has been asked to stay away from the film’s promotions”. Overall the narration and execution of the film are adorable. Furthermore, as the film is set in a relatively untouched backdrop, it could have shed more light on the lives of Northeastern Indians of the region and the discrimination against them.
Overall the movie is definitely entertaining and worth a watch.
There are some things in the movie that could have been done better, for example, the war sequences. It is a must watch the film. He is a very fast learner”, Remo, who has worked with Salman in films like “Lucky: “No Time for Love”, “Marigold”, “London Dreams” and “Bajrangi Bhaijaan”, told IANS. Also, let us know about Tubelight 1st day box office collection in the comments section. All the formula that works for mushy potboilers have been thrown in here: So we have a cute boy (Matin Rey Tangu), a rude friend (Zeeshan Ayyub) who teases and taunts Laxman, a kind old man (Om Puri, we miss you!), and many saccharine moments that want to make you cry (literally or figuratively).
While the first half of the movie quickly catches pace with action and humour, the second half is crafted to make the audience emotional and garner tear-jerking reaction. It is expected to cross the Baahubali 2 record.
