The three Khans, Aamir, Salman and Shah Rukh, are always expected to do extremely well at the box office whenever their films are released. Naturally, Salman Khan was under the same pressure this time round when his highly anticipated film Tubelight hit theatres last week.

Salman has been on a winning streak with his last couple of films, such as Sultan and Bajrangi Bhaijaan, breaking box office records but it seems that his streak will be broken this time as Tubelight has been receiving negative reviews so far.

Influential Bollywood film critic, Raja Sen wrote, “Salman Khan gives one of the worst performances of his career… While Khan could hardly be expected to pull off a Forest Gump, what we get here… is the story of a developmentally disabled man whose superpower is making constipated sounds.”

Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh also expressed his opinion on Twitter: “Disappointing. Solid star power (Salman Khan). Stunning visuals. But Tubelight is body beautiful, minus soul.”

Despite the negative reviews, Tubelight had a decent opening at the box office as the film collected Rs. 21.15 crore on its first day.
