Salman Khan’s ‘Radio’ song from ‘Tubelight’ gets Arabic twist! This is half of the total losses suffered by distributors over the film. The movie opened on a decent note considering the pre-Eid factor. It opened with Rs. 21.15 crore and gave some hopes to grow over the weekend. But the movie only managed to gross Rs. 64.77 crores in its first weekend. According to reports, Salman had promised to return his distributor's money by the end of July, but he got busy with 2017 IIFA Awards.
