Tubelight Box Office Collection: Salman Khan's Film Mints Rs 66 cr on Day 3

Salman Khan's much-anticipated film of 2017 Tubelight may have failed to garner huge appreciation from critics, but is that a reason convincing enough for the fans to give it a miss? Well, not really.

The film which has amassed close to Rs 40-crore in the first two days of the release, managed to mint over Rs 22 crore on Sunday.

Even though the film has managed to make over Rs 60 crore, its weekend box office collection can’t be compared to what Salman’s films in the past earned.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh was quick to take to Twitter to share the collection.

Directed by Kabir Khan, Tubelight is an official remake of Hollywood project Little Boy. The film also features Zhu Zhu, Matin Rey Tangu and late actor Om Puri in key roles.

Going by Taran’s tweet, the film got the lowest opening of all of Salman’s past Eid releases.
