With an array of blockbusters in his account, Salman Khan is used to the idea of his films setting cash registers ringing. However, his 2017 film Tubelight, failed to do well at the box office. The film grossed a lifetime collection of Rs 119.26 crore, one-third of what a regular Salman Khan-starrer earns at the domestic box-office.
But that failed to deter Salman's spirit. Mocking the film's failure, Salman told a daily, "We thought that Tubelight will be a beautiful film, after our much-appreciated superhit, Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015). But for an Eid release, the public wanted to see something happy. In Tubelight, they all cried. They were like, What the hell! Eid kharaab kar diya!'. They went into depression."
The Ek Tha Tiger said that though the film failed to get people to theatres, it did well on television and digital platforms. He said, "Today, when the film comes on digital and satellite, people love it and wonder why it didn't work. It did a business of over Rs 110 crores in the domestic market alone. So, even my flops' notch numbers. Bahuton ki filmein utni bhi nahin chali. So, I'm fortunate that itni badi hit film bhi flop maani jaati hai. I'm grateful for the blessings."
Recently, Salman Khan wrapped up the shoot of his upcoming film Bharat. The film will ht the theatres on Eid this year. The film will star Katrina Kaif and Disha Patani.
