Tubelight, which is estimated to be worth Rs 100 crore, stands at ninth position in terms of pre-release collections at the box office. Indian distributors for the film NH Studioz acquired the rights for Rs 132 crore and Sony Music spent Rs 20 crore for the music rights, as per a Forbes report. This makes the movie’s release restricted to traditional overseas markets. The proof of this is Bajrangi Bhaijaan’s business in the country, which earned Rs 66 crore in 2015. Chennai-based analyst Ramesh Bala expects an ultimate total of at least Rs 300 crore.
