Salman Khan‘s much-awaited movie ‘Tubelight’, which finally released in theaters on Friday, has opened to a positive response on day one. It might be getting some cold shoulder from the critics, its box office performance on opening day is hinting at a different story. The film has collected Rs. 21.15 crore on its opening day, which is the 2nd highest in this year.
The makers are claiming that “Tubelight” is the widest release ever for a Hindi film releasing in 5,550 screens worldwide. It is releasing in India on 4,350 screens, and 1,200 screens in traditional markets only, excluding China and other non-traditional markets.
