Can't expect every film to do business like Bajrangi Bhaijaan: Kabir Khan

Filmmaker Kabir Khan, who delivered two back-to-back blockbusters with Salman Khan in 2012's Ek Tha Tiger and 2015's Bajrangi Bhijaan, has expressed disappointment over the failure of their most recent film release Tubelight'. The film was one of the bigger box office disappointments so far this year.

"You make a film with a lot of love and conviction and if it doesn't do well the way it was expected to do, it's disheartening. I am disappointed Kabir was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India (PTI).

Kabir also said every film cannot do business like the classic Bajrangi Bhaijaan', which went on to collect more than Rs 320 crore at the domestic box office. Tubelight' has collected 200 crore less, even though it was expected to easily' become the highest Hindi grosser of the year so far.

"We can't expect every film to do the business like Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Every film of mine is put against Bajrangi Bhaijaan and it is unfair. I am extremely proud of Tubelight

"It's too early to analyse what went wrong with the film. Maybe people were not able to identify with the character of Salman. But I was happy with what Salman did and even he was playing this part Kabir added.

Tubelight' released in theatres during Eid this year.

Maybe if he had a different actor Tubelight would have done better.

Why did he go into hiding for? Movies don't always go as you expect them too thats what happened here. No need to hide thats business

Bajrangi was an excellent film
It had so much of emotions and sentiments
But Tube Light not much at least not to that extent
Any way some films work some do not
But they need to try to always make good films

But Salman fans expect each film of every actor to break Bajrangi's record 😆 and here kabir is undermining his own potential alongwith Salman's 😆
