# Tubelight: Disappointing.
Solid star power [Salman Khan]... Stunning visuals... But #Tubelight is body beautiful, minus soul.
#Tubelight rests on a thin plot... Screenplay lacks the power to enthral and mesmerise... Emotions plenty, but few moments stand out...
#Tubelight will have an awesome weekend + extended weekend [Eid festivities]... Will it touch ₹ 300 cr, ₹ 400 cr, ₹ 500 cr? I doubt!

 

Exclusive Movie Review - "TUBELIGHT"
Ratings: 2 Stars (Shockingly V Huge Disappointed Movie)
Salman Khan is present in full Forrest Gump mode as Laxman, the golden-hearted simpleton, who comes with message of love . The film's best moments are between Salman and child actor Matin Rey Tangu who is edible and a complete natural.
Besides the fact that films like BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN, KICK, EK THA TIGER, BODYGUARD, DABANGG and WANTED starred the inimitable Salman Khan, they were all released during the auspicious festive season of Eid. By now, every Eid has become synonymous with a Salman Khan film release.
Continuing the tradition, this year too, Eid will see the release of Salman Khan’s film TUBELIGHT, which happens to be official adaptation of the Mexican filmmaker Alejandro Gomez Monteverde’s war movie LITTLE BOY. Will TUBELIGHT ‘light’ up the Box-Office and create new records, let’s analyze.
TUBELIGHT is a story about a man's unshakeable belief.
Based on the adage, ‘Faith can move mountains’, the film revolves around the life of a simpleton named Laxman Singh Bisht (Salman Khan). Because of his exceedingly gullible nature, he gets nicknamed as ‘tubelight’, thanks to his inability to grasp, understand and analyse things like others. The story starts off with a narration by Laxman, wherein he takes the audiences through his childhood to adulthood.
While the world doesn’t take him seriously, the one man who always stands by Laxman and has complete faith in him is his younger brother Bharat Singh Bisht (Sohail Khan). One day, in the wake of the Indo-China war, the Indian Army invites applications from young Indians to join the army and serve the nation at the time of crisis. While Laxman gets rejected outright, Bharat gets chosen to be a part of the Indian army to go to the border to fight against the Chinese invasion.
Life falls apart for Laxman when he gets to know that there is no contact with Bharat and that he may have died in the war. That’s when Banney chacha (the late Om Puri) tells Laxman to have faith that his brother Bharat will return. Does Laxman Singh Bisht’s faith fight the test of time, does Bharat Singh Bisht return back home safely, and what happens ultimately of the Indo-China war is what forms the rest of the film.
While the promos of TUBELIGHT simply ‘lightened’ up everyone’s excitement about the film, the film fails to live upto its title and eventually falls flat completely. The film’s story (Kabir Khan) is raw, extremely half-baked and totally convoluted. The film’s screenplay (Kabir Khan, Parveez Shaikh) is very convenient and rests on a wafer thin plot that gets stretched way too long, thus, spoiling the film’s novelty in a big way. The screenplay seems to have been born out of convenience rather than conviction.
Even though the film has been based on the adage ‘Faith can move mountains’, TUBELIGHT just does not hold any kind of solid content to mirror the same. The film is not at all convincingly made in the context of a backdrop of a war as it lacks the emotional connect with the audiences. The film’s dialogues (Manurishi Chadha) are just about average and very much unlike a typical ‘Salman Khan film’.
After having started his career working on documentary films, director Kabir Khan gradually progressed into Bollywood with films like KABUL EXPRESS, NEW YORK, EK THA TIGER, BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN and PHANTOM. Known for his peculiar style of filmmaking and for his knack of extracting exemplary performances from his actors, one expects Kabir Khan to continue this tradition with TUBELIGHT as well.
But, sadly he disappoints this time. Even though Kabir had a very interesting premise, he fails to convert the same into a good and an engaging entertainer. While the film’s first half is decent, the second half starts moving at an extremely slow pace with absolutely no story to boast about. While there are lots of elements which have been taken for granted in the name of cinematic liberties, there are absolutely zero ele

 

#TubeLight Off To a Average Start, Opening Day Could be in 22-25Cr Range If Evening & Night shows Do Well....then 25 Cr+ Possible....

 

#Tubelight OCCUPICY REPORT MUMBAI - 45-50% PUNE - 65%+ DELHI - 35-40% PUNJAB - 40%+ WB - 30%+ OTHERS

 

#Tubelight biggest minus is people expecting a Bajrangi from the duo

 

Story not that great u can't expect bajrangi but a decent film overall its 3/5 For #Tubelight
