In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Tubelight 3 stars out of 5. "Its shine might be inconsistent, but when Tubelight does achieve full wattage, which is frequently enough to stand out, it does light up the screen. Watch it even if you aren't a Salman Khan fan. Tubelight does much more than just entertain. Tubelight is at its brightest when debutant Matin Rey Tangu, playing the boy who bonds with the hero despite the latter's initial reservations, is on the screen," he wrote in his review.

Tubelight released across a record number of 5,550 screens worldwide. It is the last film in which late actor Om Puri acted in. Tubelight also stars Chinese actress Zhu Zhu.
