Tubelight Flops at the domestic box office

Tubelight' has flopped at the domestic box office and Salman Khan has failed for the first time this decade during Eid. The film failed to show the kind of growth that it needed on the big holiday for Eid. It has collected Rs 83 crore in 4 days at the box office, with the lowest collections coming on the Eid holiday.
The circuits and centres that were affected by Razman showed good growth on Monday, but business witnessed major falls at places where the impact of Eid was limited over the weekend. The film could collect around 110-115 crore by the end of its first week and the second weekend will decide whether the film can go on to become the highest Hindi grosser of the year.
The struggle for a film like Tubelight' during Eid to easily beat a 132-crore grosser like Raees' has sent shock-waves within the industry. It also shows the extremely unpredictable side of film business, as most in the trade were expecting it to comfortably cross the 100 crore mark by the end of the Eid holiday on Monday.
Meanwhile, Salman's golden run during Eid has finally come to an end after 6 consecutive box office blockbusters. Between 2010 to 2016, the megastar had 6 Eid releases Dabangg, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Kick, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan and almost all of them went on to be record-openers and major box office grossers.
His latest release, directed by the same man (Kabir Khan) who gave him his biggest grosser and arguably his career-best film (Bajrangi Bhaijaan), is also likely to give him his biggest failure since Veer' in January 2010.
The consistency that Salman has shown over the years making even the most mediocre and critically rejected films, into major commercial successes at the box office by his sheer presence and stardom, is incredible to say the least.
Questions over his stardom are now being raised by the very people who hailed him as the top star not too long ago which also goes to show that the only thing that matters for the film industry and trade is the last Friday even if it is for a star who carried two out of his last three films over the 300 crore mark.
The official collections of the film are as follows:
Tubelight Collections Growth / Drop
Day 1 (Friday) 21.15 crore -
Day 2 (Saturday) 21.17 crore - 1%
Day 3 (Sunday) 22.45 crore + 6%
Day 4 (Monday) 19.09 crore - 15%
India Total Collections 83.86 crore
