TUBELIGHT has grossed 103 crore nett in its first week but saw drops as the post Eid factor started dropping out in various circuits from Wednesday onwards. The collections on Thursday were just 4.25 crore nett. It has still managed the second highest first week of the year after BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION (Hindi) but that is irrelevant as the film is collecting much lower than it should. The film has faced rejection and because of that the collections have come down so fast that would not have been seen in an Eid release before. The first week daily collections of TUBELIGHT are as follows.
Friday - 20,75,00,000
Saturday - 19,75,00,000
Sunday - 22,25,00,000
Monday - 18,50,00,000
Tuesday - 11,75,00,000
Wednesday - 5,75,00,000
Thursday - 4,25,00,000
TOTAL - 1,03,00,00,000

The second week is going to be scary as even at these low levels, the film is still getting extra collection due to post Eid but that will all go within the next day or two. Then the film will be back to normal ratios and the way it is going the 125 crore nett mark for lifetime business could prove difficult.

TUBELIGHT crashed on Wednesday with a drop of 50% and even here the collections are still being aided by the post Eid factor. The normal scenario is a 30-35% drop on the day after Bassi Eid. If it was not for this post Eid factor then the collections would be even lower. The film has grossed around 5.75 crore nett on Wednesday taking its collections to nearly 99 crore nett. There will be a further drop on Thursday while things will be almost be back to normal on Friday (UP could still help) with the weekend showing every circuit at normal ratios. The first week is now set to finish below the 105 crore nett mark. The first five day collections of TUBELIGHT are as follows.
Friday - 20,75,00,000
Saturday - 19,75,00,000
Sunday - 22,25,00,000
Monday - 18,50,00,000
Tuesday - 11,75,00,000
Wednesday - 5,75,00,000
TOTAL - 98,75,00,000

The second week will bring very low collections and it could mean that the film struggles to reach the 125 crore nett mark.

The collections of TUBELIGHT dropped on Tuesday but this was expected after what happened Monday. The drop would have been more but still some places are doing better because of post Eid. The film grossed 11.75 crore nett to take its total to 93 crore nett in the first week. There is a big downward trend for the film all over the country. The falls are huge in parts where there is no Eid advantage. The week looks like closing at around 106-107 crore nett which is not good. More than the numbers it is the trend of film which is the big problem as collections are coming down fast. The first five day collections of TUBELIGHT are as follows.
Friday - 20,75,00,000
Saturday - 19,75,00,000
Sunday - 22,25,00,000
Monday - 18,50,00,000
Tuesday - 11,75,00,000
TOTAL - 93,00,00,000

RAEES is the biggest grosser of the first half of 2017 at 128.77 crore if we count only outright Hindi films and TUBELIGHT was expected to zoom past it. But now there is even a question mark whether it will even get to the RAEES number and at least stand above the all the Hindi films released in 2017. Its looking a very close call and Friday will probably give a better idea.

TUBELIGHT grossed 18.50 crore nett apprx on Monday and took its four day total to over 81 crore nett. It was a national holiday and hence the figure looks fine as only a little down from day one and the previous day but the problem is its post Eid and the film should have got back some of the business it lost over the weekend. So ideally the film should have had its best day on Monday. The film earned a solid 62 crore nett plus over the weekend and from there if it had got the normal post Eid trend then another 70 crore was there for the weekdays. That would have taken the film to over 130 crore nett for the week. This will not happen now as its Monday has not trended the way it should have due to the reports. The first four day collections of TUBELIGHT are as follows.
Friday - 20,75,00,000
Saturday - 19,75,00,000
Sunday - 22,25,00,000
Monday - 18,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 81,25,00,000

The first week business is still difficult to judge as the film is still going to get the benefit of post Eid for a few days and it will be Friday that all things will be equal. There have been circuits that have grown from the first day with Nizam/Andhra showing big gains of close to 30%. But then then there are some cities in UP which should have shown even bigger gains than this but have not been able to.

TUBELIGHT grossed 62.75 crore nett over its first weekend which is the second highest weekend collection of the year after BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION but that film was double of TUBELIGHT. The weekend figures are pretty good but not blockbuster figures which are the expectations for a Salman Khan on Eid. There was the pre Eid factor over the weekend where Muslims stay away from theatres but even allowing for that, the collections are still lower than they should be for the film to compare with his earlier Eid films. There is a big national holiday on Monday which should keep the collection over 20 crore nett and then some circuits get the benefit of post Eid but the real test will come after that. The weekend collections of TUBELIGHT are as follows.
Friday - 20,75,00,000
Saturday - 19,75,00,000
Sunday - 22,25,00,000
TOTAL - 62,75,00,000

The film managed to show strong growth in Gujarat/Saurashtra on Sunday but the best business has come in East Punjab which has a very limited Muslim population and it has grossed around 8.25 crore nett in that circuit which is more than the lifetime of KAABIL. The film will easily become the highest grosser of the year in this circuit before the week is out after BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION. Delhi city has also done pretty well but the overall Delhi/UP figures are below the mark because of UP.

TUBELIGHT grossed 19.75 crore nett on its second day which is a little down from Friday but pretty much flat collections. The two day business of the film is around 40.50 crore nett which is a good number but not for this film as the expectations are much higher. Ideally the film needed that little growth on Saturday but it has not come. It would have helped if the collections went up rather than down. Big growth pre Eid was going to difficult but it had to repeat what KICK did when released in same period. That film managed in 2014 managed to add around 2% on Saturday while this film has dropped 5% on Saturday.

The surprise is mass pockets as here the reports are not good due to the slow pace of the film and Salman Khan going against his image. A 10-15% drop would have been the norm here have but the drop is just 5% with the Gujarat/Saursahtra belt even showing growth. This could be due to the fact as some of these mass places did not start huge big on day one and with pre Eid, the collections are going up and down. The other circuit to show growth is Mysore while East Punjab which has no pre Eid effect dropped 8% from a good  start on Friday. The trend in East Punjab puts a real big number out of the question but if it can show a 3 crore nett on Sunday the film still may manage a decent run. Most circuits are going to do well till Wednesday and even Thursday but the figures in East Punjab on Tuesday will tell where this film is going as by Friday it will be behaving how East Punjab behaves on Tuesday.

The opening is below expectations but there is the Muslim audience still to come post Monday and for the film to post a decent final number this audience has to turn up post Monday. It will also be crucial to have growth on Sunday as if the film is unable to grow then the writing will be on the wall.
