Tubelight was being touted as Bollywood's answer to Bahubali 2, but the movie did not live up to the high expectations that we all had. According to BoxOfficeIndia, "Tubelight crashed on Wednesday with a drop of 50% and even here the collections are still being aided by the post Eid factor. The normal scenario is a 30-35% drop on the day after Bassi Eid. If it was not for this post Eid factor then the collections would be even lower. The film has grossed around 5.75 crore nett on Wednesday taking its collections to nearly 99 crore nett. There will be a further drop on Thursday while things will be almost be back to normal on Friday (UP could still help) with the weekend showing every circuit at normal ratios. The first week is now set to finish below the 105 crore nett mark."
From now on, the collections are expected to be further low and the movie may not even cross Rs. 125 Crore Nett Mark in the second week. This is a disaster for Kabir Khan as he was riding high on the success of his last hit 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'.
