Despite collecting in excess of Rs 80 cr, Tubelight has underperformed, feels expert

Mumbai, Jun 27 (IBNS): Imaging raking up in excess of Rs 80 crores in just four days and still being criticised for underperforming, well, such is the case for Salman Khan starrer Tubelight.

The movie has collected Rs 83.86 crores so far but has failed to collect above Rs 30 crore in a single day's screening so far, an exception given Salman's previous releases.

Pointing out the same, trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, "#Tubelight has underperformed on Eid... Generally, Salman films set new records/do roaring biz on Eid, but it's an exception this time..."

"What's surprising is that #Tubelight hasn't crossed ₹ 30 cr *on a single day* till now... Not on Sun... Not even on Mon [Eid holiday]," an ensuing tweet read.

"#Tubelight Fri 21.15 cr, Sat 21.17 cr, Sun 22.45 cr, Mon 19.09 cr [Eid]. Total: ₹ 83.86 cr. India biz," another added.

Based on the book Little Boy by Alejandro Monteverde, Tubelight is directed by Kabir Khan.

The movie also stars Salman's younger brother Sohail.
