Salman Khan

Salman Khan‘s ‘Tubelight’ released yesterday and as critics started giving in their reviews, one realised that the movie hasn’t got the desired ratings. Some critics loved the movie, but many of them have not taken a keen liking to the movie and have rated it low. So, at an event yesterday, when the actor was quizzed about the same, here’s how he replied. He said, “The critics were really good.. I was expecting -3 and -4, they have given me 1-1 1/2 stars apparently. Yeah, so I am very pleased with that.”

He further spoke about the initial response to his movie by saying, “Reports are ‘bhai ko rota hua nahi dekh sakte’ toh I asked ki rote hue dekhke, has rahe hai kya?, they said no ro rahe hain , then I said then don’t worry about this one. What happens in a film like this is, it is Eid release and so the one’s who have been thronging the theatres ki chillar pekhenge, nachenge, they went to watch a different film and saw a different one. So now this films needs to seen not with ‘launda lapades ‘ or buddies with the intention ki udham machayenge because they wont be able to do that. This is an emotional film which needs to be seen with family members in 25 ka lots so that we can earn those 20 rupees. However, reserved or cold hearted a person might be, he will get teary-eyed watching this film.” [sic] ( Also Read: Wow!
