Director Kabir Khan's Tubelight is based on the 2015 American war drama Little Boy, which was panned by critics. But while Little Boy did not have the fortune of being set in the Indian milieu, against a society that laps up superstitions and talk of miracles eagerly, Tubelight fits in perfectly in the small-town Jagatpur of 1962.
Watch Tubelight if you have enough yakeen that you can sit through this 2.5-hour long Moral Science class. Salman Khan fans can muster up enough yakeen. As for the rest, this is no Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
A distributor, on the condition of anonymity, told the daily, "Salman's films can collect Rs 100 crore in three days, but this time, Tubelight reached the three-figure mark after a week. Single screen owners in small cities have suffered the most, with many incurring losses of over Rs 1 crore. The total loss amounts to Rs 40-50 crore."
The source added, "This is the first time we have faced such a situation. The distributors are hopeful that Salman will pay off their damages."
“Distributors will meet Salim Khan today to discuss the matter. Salim saab and Salman are contemplating returning nearly Rs 50-55 crore to them so that they don’t bear the brunt much.” This is really the best gesture anybody has shown in Bollywood in a while. At a time when people just think about themselves, Khans are making an effort to hear to the woes of the distributors. SHOCKING! Rs 55 crore is how much Salman Khan will pay to the distributors of Tubelight who suffered losses
