Tubelight (2017)

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Blistering performances.

Full of old cliches and gibberish twists. Movie could have got its short and sweet climax with satisfied ending but its heinous ending after all those turns made it worthless

Summary (no spoilers) The movie is about a man named Laxman, who is autistic goes on a journey to find his younger brother Bharat, who goes missing during the Indo-China war in 1962.My Review (no spoilers)The plot of this movie was really bad. It looked like a bad rip-off Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Extremely bad script and some awful directing by Kabir Khan. Salman has a lot to do to improve his acting skills as I felt it was overacting in this whole movie and none of the rest caught my attention. All the songs in this movie were senseless. I felt this movie was struggling with the ending as the director did not know if he had to end it on a good or bad note. Overall a really bad movie, a complete waste of time.My RecommendationNo, it will be precious two hours and sixteen minutes of your life which you will regret wasting on this.My Rating0/10

Tubelight (2017): Everyone got surprised when Salman got a disaster in his career after 7 years of consecutive successes.Tubelight,which is a remake of 2015 Hollywood film Little Boy is released amidst huge expectations as it is from Bajrangi Bhaijaan combo.But surprisingly,Tubelight failed in impressing audience.What's the reason? Plot: In a small picturesque town in North India, Laxman (Salman Khan) lives with his younger brother Bharat (Sohail Khan). The two have no other family and are inseparable. Laxman's world comes crashing down, when war breaks out and Bharat gets drafted into the Army. A helpless Bharat leaves a devastated Laxman behind. News from the border only worsens, as the tension continues to escalate. Seeing the carnage around him and worried for his brother, Laxman decides he must stop this conflict and get his brother back.My Review: Salman Khan has come a long way from the days of bare-chested fight sequences and gyrating dance numbers – a combination that brought him some of his biggest hits and sent legions of his fans into rapture.The change began with 2015's summer mega-hit Bajrangi Bhaijaan, in which the star sought to build bridges between India and Pakistan; it continued through last year's biopic Sultan, where an ageing action man pondered how best to use his muscle.Both the films are very good and considered one of the best performances from Salman Khan.But Tubelight did not.Even if the film's scenes are inspired from Little Boy,Tubelight has Bajrani Bhaijaan vibe to it.Salman Khan's act and his friendship with a kid,all resembles the Bhaijaan.Even though the movie has lot of content to become a emotional film,it is wasted as the film tries to be too melodramatic.There are some things that actor Salman Khan does very well — like barreling through action scenes, romancing women and dancing to Bollywood songs, with or without a shirt.Delivering a nuanced performance in the role of a developmentally disabled man? Not so much.Playing a mentally challenged character has by now become a rite of passage in Bollywood — Salman Khan's A-list box office rivals, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan, have both portrayed characters on the autism spectrum with skill and sensitivity, in My Name Is Khan and Dhoom 3, respectively; while Hrithik Roshan's attempt to play an intellectually disabled character in Koi...Mil Gaya and its sequels but here Salman tries too hard.But his dedication deserves a mention.This film has strong performances from Om Puri,Chinese actress Zhu Zhu and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and surprising cameo from Shah Rukh Khan.SO,Tubelight may have its good moments but Salman Khan is a miscast as the lead role.My Rating 5//10
