Tubelight is a major disappointment. It is unlike any Kabir Khan film, and not in a good way. Watch Tubelight since you have no other film to watch over this long weekend as Salman has managed to block 4000 screens for his film.
Sallus larger-than-life image is constant with his films and Tubelight is no less. Salman’s constipated face throughout the film is a big hurdle. Imagine, this time Sohail Khan looks much better than him on screen.
Om Puri and Zhu Zhu are just about average, but the little boy Matin steals the show with his cute face and dialogue deliveries. Mohammad Zeeshan Ayub is quite a treat to watch.
The funniest part of Salman Khan films is that he is always shown as a god’s man. In Tubelight, he has crossed boundaries of unbelievability. Like how he shakes the city like an earthquake with his faith, really? For instance, a thought would strike in the mind that Shah Rukh Khan must have played a catalyst as a magician in getting Salman’s faith to life. Does it make sense?
Be it Shah Rukh Khan’s cameo as Goga Pasha magician or Salman Khan’s overt faith of getting his brother back safely, nothing seems relevant to the plot. A person who has a responsibility of his brother won’t join Indian Army in the first place under any circumstances.
Looks like Salman’s massive popularity saves him in every Eid release, but with Tubelight, only hope can save him and his film. Based in Kumaon, the film is an official adaptation of Little Boy, but it is nowhere close to the original one.
Salman and kabir Khan cant take the audience for granted all the time.
