BHAIJAAN, KICK, EK THA TIGER, BODYGUARD, DABANGG and WANTED starred the inimitable Salman Khan, they were all released during the auspicious festive season of Eid. By now, every Eid has become synonymous with a Salman Khan film release. Continuing the tradition, this year too, Eid will see the release of Salman Khan’s film TUBELIGHT, which happens to be official adaptation of the Mexican filmmaker Alejandro Gomez Monteverde’s war movie LITTLE BOY. Will TUBELIGHT ‘light’ up the Box-Office and create new records, let’s analyze.
TUBELIGHT is a story about a man’s unshakeable belief. Based on the adage, ‘Faith can move mountains’, the film revolves around the life of a simpleton named Laxman Singh Bisht ( Salman Khan) . Because of his exceedingly gullible nature, he gets nicknamed as ‘tubelight’, thanks to his inability to grasp, understand and analyse things like others. The story starts off with a narration by Laxman, wherein he takes the audiences through his childhood to adulthood.
