Meanwhile, all film critics are not impressed with
Tubelight.
Raja Sen, in his review for NDTV said that Salman Khan has given "one of the worst performances of his career" in the Kabir Khan-directed
Tubelight. He gave the film 1-Star rating and wrote: "Everyone besides Salman is good here, which is again a new thing to write about a star whose screen-presence and spontaneous charisma has carried him through many a horrid film."

Tubelight also stars Chinese actress Zhu Zhu, late actor Om Puri, child artiste Matin Rey Tangu and Salman's brother Sohail Khan. Shah Rukh has a cameo in
Tubelight.
