Mumbai: Salman Khan's Tubelight might be getting a mixed response from the critics, but it has left celebrities like Preity Zinta, Dia Mirza and Subhash Ghai in awe of it. They feel the heart-warming performances in the Kabir Khan directorial light up the film's narrative.
Tubelight, also featuring Salman's brother Sohail, child actor Matin Rey Tangu and Chinese actress Zhu Zhu, is set in the backdrop of the India and China war of 1962. It released in India on Friday.
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.
Film critic Taran Adarsh on Friday tweeted: "'Tubelight': Disappointing, solid star power, stunning visuals. 'Tubelight' body beautiful, minus soul.
"'Tubelight' rests on a thin plot... Screenplay lacks the power to enthral and mesmerise... Emotions plenty, but few moments stand out. Will it touch Rs 300 crore, Rs 400 crore, Rs 500 crore? I doubt."

Dia Mirza: One of my favourite scenes in the film, one that conveys essence of this story is a magical surprise by SRK. "Tubelight" is Salman Khan's gentlest, most honest performance. Om Puri, Sohail Khan, Matin Ray Tangu, Zhu Zhu have my heart.
