Whenever Salman films release, they mint money at the box office irrespective of the mouth talk.. and Eid proved to be his lucky season several times in the past. As his last two films 'Bhajrangi Bhaijaan'.. 'Sultan' turned out to be huge money-spinners at the box office, expectations were so high on his latest film 'Tubelight'. Buyers invested huge on 'Tubelight'. But Salman film turned out to be a nightmare.
'Tubelight' received negative talk right from the first show.. the collections also reflected similar trend from the first day. Collections heavily dropped after the first weekend. Salman films usually register Rs.100 crore mark in the first weekend itself. But Tubelight couldn't reach 100 crore mark even after the first week.
As per the present estimates, 'Tubelight' collections will not cross Rs.130 crore in the full run. 'Tubelight' has to gross over Rs.300 crore to recover the full investment of the buyers. It's a big shock as the buyers were never expecting this kind of result as they were banking on Salman-Eid release sentiment.
