Tubelight isn't the first festival release flop of Salman.
Janeman ( Diwali release) - flop
Mein aur Mrs Khanna( Diwali) - flop
Kyonki ( Eid) - flop
Andaaz Apna Apna ( Diwali) - flop
I get the point, but just to point out - Kyon Ki was a Diwali release.

I doubt it. It's Aamir's out and out commercial movie. Those who expect it to break Bahubali's record will be disappointed. No movie is reaching Bahubali anytime soon.
TOH just has to be a half-decent entertainer to do similar business to Dangal. If it's as bad as Tubelight, it would still do 200 crores due to enormous first week collections. And you have to remember that the way critics went savage on Salman and Tubelight, they won't go as far for TOH (even if it is as bad, which it won't be) - because Aamir has an image of a well-informed film-star as opposed to Salman, who's a raw megastar but not of the intellectual kind.
Tubelight was a poor, boring movie to say the least. But the way people slammed the movie overall, I don't think even Bombay Velvet went through such ruthless condemnation (by the media). That was strange.
