Tubelight

This movie is another Salman pathetic movie. Poor acting and direction. Tubelight rests on poor plot and lacks the power to enthrall and mesmerize. I am sure it will make money and be declared as blockbuster but this is not worth watching. Only good thing about movie is to see Om Puri

Being Salman Khan comes with a responsibility, sometimes that turns into : i'll do anything and fans will still watch. The original movie LITTLE BOY is so honest as we can believe a small childs fantasies and innocence. but tube light seems like forced. the easiest way to gain sympathy is by showing the protagonist as a non matured kid, innocent and childlike. we have had a long history of that in bollywood, gain sympathy by showing some rare disease (pa, guzarish, barfi) or show non realistic themes.

locations and cinematography is wonderful, so is the other cast. Om puri and the little child. rest it just feels like a safe bet by kabir khan, put a goody goody world and ppl will grab it.

of course one can't argue with salman fans as they get personal in case anyone criticises the movie. how ever it's more important to understand who exactly are they helping in this case, their IQ or Salman Khan

This is disaster movie of year. Director made this movie to showcase Salman acting skills. But Salman cant act. He is known as superstar not as an actor. Late Om Puri Ji is only saving point for this movie. He has again proved his versatile acting skills. Camera work is good and some locations are good.

What do you in life when you are bullied, laughed and doubted - you believe in yourself. If you believe in yourself and the keep the hope alive, nothing can beat you. Tubelight, remake of critically acclaimed "A Little Boy", does sends out the message but is far from being properly executed ..

Tubelight tells the story of a special man (Salman Khan) whose IQ is well-below his age but is a gem-of-a-person. Praying for his brother's (Sohail Khan) return from Indo-China War, he starts fulfilling a wish list.

Kabir Khan, who gave us some memorable films like "Kabul Express", "New York" and "Bajrangi Bhaijaan", Tubelight will come as shock for his followers and especially for Salman Khan's fans. The well intentioned film sits on a wafer-thin plot and the screenplay is weaker than a woman's tear. Of course, there are few moments which is enthralling. For instance, Salman Khan taking courage to slap his naysayer who he hurts the Chinese family. The scene where Salman Khan thoughts that his brother is dead at the Army camp and closes his ears pretending not to hear the sad news is one of the finest moments from the film. Unfortunately, the scenes are less to keep up the momentum of the film which falls flat on the face and tumbles down into a rabbit hole.

Cinematography is superb capturing the beautiful locals of Manali, Kashmir and Ladakh. Art direction is pretty impressive. Background score is just about okay while the music piece by Pritam is decent with "Radio" song being best of the lot and well-choreographed. Coming to the performance, Salman Khan tried something different with his honest performance. However, few scenes I felt he was overboard and could have worked on his expression. Zhu Zhu was good in her part. The young chap playing "Guo" was amazing. Sohail Khan was just about okay while Om Puri and Mohmammed Zeeshan Ayub were excellent.

Overall, Tubelight has been a big disappoint. Watch it only if you have not seen "A Little Boy". Below average 2/5

I just saw Tubelight now on Star Gold HD. To begin with, I really do not understand how critics operate. Nor why Tubelight did so poorly at the box office.

This is such a watchable movie. The story was interesting, the locations were fantastic, the acting good, the cinematography exemplary, even the songs were catchy .... what more is required for a film to be entertaining?

At worst I could say that it stretched a bit, just a bit, and perhaps there was too much music. The story is meant to be fictional and every film isn't meant to depict absolute stark reality. Tubelight held my interest, made me laugh, made me smile and even made me cry my heart out towards the end ... just before the happy ending! Salman was great as Laxman and the little child Matin was adorable. Om Puri - I think his last film .... may he Rest In Peace. Every actor performed well.

I enjoyed Tubelight and I am really glad that I do not choose to watch films based on critics reviews.
