Tubelight (2017)

Fantastic!

Disappointment for a huge fan!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

I went to the theatre with expectations and the moviw went beyond my expectations. Best acting by Salman Khan and Terrific Direction by Kabir Khan

This movie is one of the pathetic movie I have ever watched. Users who have had given it 8-10/10 star seems to blind follower of Salman Khan, just because of his stardom. Few pointers: 1. It is an absurd attempt to create Little Boy Hollywood movie. Salman should have made a way for child artist to recreate such creativity rather than acting like a 8 year old guy. 2. Salman's attempt to incarnate Hritik Roshan in Koi Mil Gaya has miserably failed. 3. The only positive thing is serene locations, which also seemed to be created by computer graphics.

Though story is not that great but the performances are very clinical. Specially, Salman, Matin and Zeeshan are worth watching. Moreover, you will get to watch the legend Om Puri for the last time. Songs are very soothing and beauty of the nature has been captured as much as possible.

Both the earlier collaborations between Salman and Kabir khan,"Ek Tha Tiger" and "Bhajrangi Bhaijaan" were universally acclaimed films that set the cash counters ringing at the box office with the latter being one among the biggest hits ever in the history of Bollywood cinema.With "Tubelight",Kabir Khan has tried to cash upon the Bhajrangi Bhaijaan's success by churning out a movie that follows the narrative style and treatment of Bhaijaan which sadly doesn't work due to its flawed screenplay and a mediocre performance from Salman Khan.Undeniably the weakest film from Salman Khan & Kabir Khan in recent years,Tueblight has a melodramatic story-line that's overly preachy and monotonous for the meaty part of the narration,with the "Bhajrangi Bhaijaan" hangover making it even worse at multiple instances in the course of the narration.Kabirkhan does try to include quiet a few political statements in the movie which are honest and socially relevant,but the lackluster story-line spoils the impact and renders the movie as just a slow-paced drama without any notable high point as such.Salman looked innocent playing a developmentally disabled man who believes in Faith more than anything,but failed to make any emotional connect whatsoever unlike his films in the recent past.Sohail Khan enacted the role of Salman's brother convincingly,but looked much older than his real life brother on screen.Among others,debutant child actor Matin Rey Tangu and Chinese actress Zhu Zhu played their part well.Songs and BGM were adequate.Overall,Tubelight is a strictly average rip off of Alejandro Gomez Monteverdes's 2015 flick "Little Boy" that can turn a decent watch if you go with very low expectations !
