From the day Kabir Khan¡¯s Tubelight has hit the screens, people have been showing their disappointment with the film on social media platforms ¨C some through honest tweets and others through memes and trolls.
Was it because of the poor content? Or was it the monotony of Salman¡¯s usual antics? Whatever the reason may be, the bottom line is that the Salman Khan starrer has apparently failed to impress the audiences. So much so, that even the little boy Matin Rey Tangu¡¯s cuteness couldn¡¯t ensure a decent amount of footfall to the theatres, not even during the long Eid weekend.

Ravi Sibal of PVR Juhu says that this, not the first time. They had to cut the number of shows even during the time Prem Ratan Dhan Payo had released.
¡°We have chopped 5 shows of Tubelight. We had no option; we had to cancel some shows due to a poor number of admits. We never reduced the shows of a Salman film in recent times, except in the case of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo if I recall correctly.¡±
He says movies including Wonder Woman and Despicable Me?have instead occupied those slots.

Furthermore, the report says that not only in Mumbai but the shows of the movie have been cancelled at several cities across the nation, including Gujarat and Chandigarh.
At some other places, the ticket prices of the show have also been reduced. ¡°We don't do this for a Salman film, but we have lowered the ticket price of Tubelight by 20%.today,¡± the report quoted Manager of PVR Kandivli, Prakash Sharma, as saying.
But Salman Khan is unfazed! Perhaps, he knows that his next film with the director ¨C Tiger Zinda Hai ¨C which also stars Katrina Kaif will reign at the box office.?
