However, despite a mixed response, 'Tubelight' has become Salman's 11th consecutive hit to enter the Rs 100 crore club. His previous ventures namely: Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan, Kick, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Ek Tha Tiger, Dabangg 2, Dabangg, Bodyguard, Ready and Jai Ho easily entered the Rs 100 crore club.

'Tubelight' is directed by Kabir Khan and had Chinese actress Zhu Zhu making her big screen debut. Salman and Sohail Khan's brotherly bond has been much appreciated. Little boy Matin Rey Tangu's act and Salman's innocent play too got a thumbs up from viewers.
