Tubelight Movie Review: Watch it if u are a Salman Khan fan!




Entertainment

Woho ho the much awaited Tubelight Review is out. One of the most hyped movie of the year which has created a hell lot of buzz releases tomorrow. But before the release here’s a quick snap of what the movie is about (although most of you know it and might have seen ‘The Little Boy’).

Well the film begins with a flashback introducing you to Laxman’s life telling you why he is  a ‘Tubelight’.  This introduction is nothing like what we have already seen in Salman Khan films.  The two brothers Laxman and Bharat are raised by an uncle (Om Puri), due to the death of  their parents at a young age. They both have helped each other grow, and overcome bullying as kids — this is all portrayed through a song montage,  Naach Meri Jaan. They’ve been thick from the very beginning, and we are shown how Laxman has been a source of strength for Bharat. You can tell they’re both extremely co-dependent, and life is all fun and games, until the Army comes around for a recruitment drive.

This is when the tone changes, but the brothers’ love doesn’t dampen. When Bharat gets chosen for the army, the gravity of the situation hits them. Sohail’s screen time is restricted to the first few scenes. Laxman grieving about his brother leaving is shown, while we are also shown Bharat at war, where his regiment catches fire.

When Matin Rey Tangu’s character is introduced in the film, Laxman has a mental block against him (because his brother has gone for the war against China. Tubelight is set against the 1962 Indo-China war). He almost creates a havoc because of his prejudice, but his uncle (played by Om Puri) stops him from making a further fool of himself. Later he finds out Matin’s character is not Chinese.

Halfway through the film and it is evident that Salman Khan is at the centre of Tubelight. Care to detail can be seen. Salman sports the same clothes more or less through the film, and Om Puri has been cast to perfection as a wise, old uncle.

A note about the visual effects: it’s unlike what we’ve seen in Bollywood so far. The way the shots have been framed and conceptualised is interesting to see.

Laxman’s point of view changes in the second half of the film. He is now made to believe, “fear is our enemy, and to face our enemy is the biggest challenge.”

Through this backdrop, we find out more about Matin and chinese actress Zhu Zhu’s characters. They both have lost someone in the same war, and hence establish a bond with Laxman. Zhu Zhu is refreshing to see on screen. She keeps wishing for the war to end so her father can return (if he’s alive).

The one constant of the film is Laxman’s ability to have faith: that everything will be alright, and his brother will return. And guess who makes that happen? Shah Rukh Khan. The famous scene itself was a tad underwhelming, but SRK’s act brings Laxman a much needed boost of confidence.

If you’re wondering how it ties up in the end, there’s a major plot twist that brings everything together. It takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride. You expect such an emotional film to have a bittersweet ending, one that hammers home the point. But Tubelight does succumb to a cliched ending, pandering to the good old feel good factor.

Tubelight does have a great message: hope pulls us through in any situation we may find ourselves in.
