On day 10, Salman Khan's Tubelight earns 107 crores, investors suffer massive losses

A still from the movie Tubelight
As of day 7, the box office collection for 'Tubelight' hit the magic 100 crores, but distributers who were expecting a lot more from the Salman Khan starrer were left disappointed.  Being called one of the biggest debacles after Salman Khan’s 'Wanted', trade experts believe that 'Tubelight' despite its 100 crore turnover, its collections were expected to be a lot higher. Considering how Salman Khan’s movies do on Eid, distributors paid large sums of money for the movie’s theatrical rights, making 'Tubelight' an average revenue earner – one that won’t help them make a profit.
In a report by The Indian Express, the film has amassed around Rs 107.32 crores in nine days.  In a statement to Indianexpress.com, Girish Johar said, “Distributors have bought the film at high prices considering how Salman Khan’s film performs on Eid. They were expecting the film to do an overall box office business of Rs 300-350 crore so that they can make profit”.
According to Girish the TV and music rights will depend on the film’s overall collection. As of now, the theatrical right of the movie have been sold for Rs 132 crores, the TV and music rights have been sold for Rs 55 crores and 38 crores respectively.  “These days buyers except those who have bought theatrical rights make a box office link deal with makers where they dole out a certain figure to makers depending on how the film has performed at the box office. I am assuming that satellite rights buyers have also made a smart deal. So the whole economics of the pre-sale deals are bound to change,” Girish said.

Another factor that often played in Salman Khan’s favour was the fact that no other big movie was released in the same week as the movie. But in Tubelight’s case, even this didn’t help. Girish said that, “The public has not gone to watch the film. Had they liked Tubelight, people would have gone to watch the film after Eid. So I don’t think the absence of any big movie this weekend is going to benefit Salman Khan film”.

As per some sources that Indian Express spoke to, they said that people who invested in the film are likely to lose a sizeable amount of money. The source said, “Distributors who have bought the film’s theatrical rights have lost some money. They can lose around Rs 50-70 crore on the film” Industry experts say that the film is likely to earn about Rs 125 crores at the box office.

'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha' writers to file a defamation case against 'Manini' documentary makers

 
'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha' Starring Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar is in the news for 'Plagiarism'. A documentary film maker, Praveen Vyas, has alleged that the idea behind the film has been lifted from his 2016 documentary, 'Manini' . But , the writers of the film, Siddharth and Garima, say that they had registered the script with the Film Writers Association in August 2014. Garima says, “The script was commissioned to us by Neeraj Pandey (film-maker) in 2013 itself, so we have been working on it since December that year,” says Garima.
According to the writers, the same real-life story had been reported around that time, so they decided to 'fictionalise the rest of the story' and come up with their own version. Siddharth says, "Neeraj sir liked that and asked us to go ahead with it. After that, we left for research to places like Mathura (Uttar Pradesh), Nandgaon, Barsana, Jhansi and Bahraich, which is near Lucknow." In fact, the two writers had asked the film's makers to set the film around the Mathura area. "We were very happy when they chose to base the film in Mathura, as that's the milieu that we were also looking for,” says Garima, adding that the allegation of plagiarism has 'come out of the blue'.
"It's not possible to pick up a story from any documentary and take a film to the floors within a few weeks' time. Is it plausible, especially with a film that stars mainstream actors? If our work is subjected to criticism, we are fine with it. But it’s ridiculous, frustrating and insulting for us to hear that we have copied someone’s work," says Garima. Now, Siddharth and Garima plan to hit back. "Right now, we are verifying the facts and other details. Once we are done, we are, in all likelihood, going to file a defamation case. It’s amazing how people come up with such allegations at the last minute for their 15 minutes of fame," says Garima.

'Toilet:Ek Prem Katha' starring Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar will release on August 11.

Give our money back, 'Tubelight' distributors tell Salman Khan

Indian distributors of the Kabir Khan-directed 'Tubelight' are set to meet Salman Khan in a bid to recover their losses. The distributors, who claim that the total loss amounts to Rs 40-50 crore, are hopeful that Salman will pay off their damages

Salman Khan
While promoting his recently released Indian war drama, 'Tubelight', Salman Khan found himself addressing questions on the likelihood of the film outshining SS Rajamouli's critically-acclaimed 'Baahubali: The Conclusion'. Little did he know that far from competing with the box-office favourite, 'Tubelight' would even fail to appeal to Bhai's fans.
mid-day has learnt that select Indian distributors of the Kabir Khan-directed film are set to meet the actor in a bid to recover their losses. A distributor, on the condition of anonymity, told mid-day, "Salman's films can collect Rs 100 crore in three days, but this time, 'Tubelight' reached the three-figure mark after a week. Single screen owners in small cities have suffered the most, with many incurring losses of over Rs 1 crore. The total loss amounts to Rs 40-50 crore. This is the first time we have faced such a situation. The distributors are hopeful that Salman will pay off their damages."

In a previous interview, trade analyst Amod Mehra had pointed out that distributors would suffer after Tubelight's debacle. "Salman is seen crying throughout the film and that's going to be the case for the distributors as well. The cost at which the film was sold is high, so recovery is going to be difficult," Mehra had said.
