Leave your thoughts about Tubelight.
| indieWireAnisha JhaveriWhere “Bajrangi” effectively harnessed the actor’s mega-star persona into a simple character that still — in true Salman tradition — had a significant moral undertone, Tubelight struggles to strike that balance, too often veering into naivety and exaggeration both in terms of performance and narrative. |
| FilmfareRachit GuptaThis is a sweet little film alright, but the emotional inconsistencies just don't iron out. It's a classic case of what could've been a great film, settles for much less. |
| The HinduNamrata JoshiThere is a blandness that permeates through and through, hardly any dramatic peaks nor any innate tension, no shocks nor surprises, not even one moment or scene that stays with you. |
| Geeks of ColorQamar Shafiq[Tubelight] will forever be in limbo, a reminder of a film that just missed the mark to being great. |
| The Times of IndiaMeena IyerEverything is so cloyingly sweet that you start feeling you've strolled into a sermon rather than a Salman movie. |
| Hindustan TimesRohit VatsIt's been a while since Salman Khan started playing a clumsy yet golden hearted man-child. He has aced this game by now and Tubelight might be his best shot at it. |
| Gulf News (UAE)Manjusha RadhakrishnanA plus for trying, but that's it. It's all executed in a cute manner, but their saccharine way of storytelling is cloying. |
| GuardianMike McCahillWithout the tears that might soften our vision, all Tubelight resembles is a rebranding process: somewhere between act of vanity and lamentable waste of energy. |
| The National (UAE)Saeed SaeedFlickering moments of quality are rare and fail to convince that Tubelight is anything more than low voltage fluff. |
| Hollywood ReporterLisa TseringA macho Bollywood star tries on the role of a developmentally disabled man-child. It doesn't end well. |
