Airlift beats Agneepath to become the highest ever grosser of January

Akshay Kumar’s Airlift has surpassed the 4-year-old record of Hrithik Roshan’s Agneepath to become the highest grossing January film of all time in Bollywood.

January isn’t the best month to release films and most releases in the first month of the year, have failed to recover costs. Airlift is probably the first big success of January after Agneepath.

The Akshay Kumar film is now looking at lifetime business of 125 – 130 crore. It

Top 3 Grossers of January

  • Airlift (122.65 crore) – Super Hit

  • good collections for airlift but i didn’t enjoyed film that much. director failed to show effort of saving lacs of indians. the scene when akki save that quwait women and her daughter was best of the movie reminds you greatness of bajrangi but overall airlift wasn’t 10% of bajrangi bhaijaan.

  • Good news
    And the so called Sultan’s film entered just 100 crs ahahahahha
    Salman u have still time…change release date
    Srk has a record of opening days..
    And all that saying that EID is of salman, remenber srk nedded just one EID to smash all records ( and sallu was struggling to beat 3 idiots record) ahahah

    #RAEESTHISEID

  • collections are equal but onc super hit onc average
    that’s prove what is the class of Hrittik and what is the class of salman khan
    Super star salman khan
    star Hr
    hero akshay
    lol

  • Akshay has now highest grosser if January, April and June.
    While all other stars have 2,1 or 0.
    East or west AKKI is the best.

  • great akki.since kkhh to oso srk didnt have a big blockbuster forget atbb. How will srk give back to back blockbusters? If srk has twelve consecutive hits,salman is having nine hits in a row. If raone & dilwale are hits,then jai ho is also a hit. Since dabangg to sultan,salman is giving ten consecutive hits including five back to back blockbusters. Will raees want to postpone or not?its their decision but sultan is gearing for an eid release.

  • Where are people these were talking about Akki failer

    This is the answer to all

    This is what we want

    Great
    Now Akshay best Hrithik

    Now house full 3 become big movie….very very big

  • Airlist has bcum the most loved classic…!!…

    Just missed blockbusted status by 5-6crs…!..

    Otherwise it wud hv been 5th blockbuster of Akki sir compared to 1 blockbuster of Flop Rk (thanks to DP)…!…

    Now houseful3 is going to record bumper opening east,west, north and south …!… All shows will b houseful 3 ….!…

    Heard some small star ranbir’s flop Jagga jasoos is releasing… Don’t worry ,, it will be washout…!…

    Now i m just eagerly waitin for Houseful 3 promo…!…

    And rustom look out too..

  • AIRLIFT yet to Beat Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’s 4 day collection. Some fans were shouting 150 cr. Akshay is still way behind Top 3 Yongistaan’s Films – YJHD, BM, Dilwale.

    I will dance without clothes on road, if AIRLIFT crosses PRDP’s 4 day collection – 129.77 cr

  • Congratulations ? Akki !! Airlift Deserves to be at the top but still I say it will do min. 150cr, but never mind !! Collections doesn’t matter for a great Patriotic film ? !!

  • Deserves every bit of success.
    The song tu bhula jisse is finally out on YouTube.Watching it on a loop.Incredible song and beautifully shot

  • Im sure Airlift is a Blockbuster now with a budget of 30 crore??? its made 4 times its budget!!! films like Bajirao budget of 140 crore and make 180 are super hits and films like Airlift 30 crore makes 120 plus still superhit!!! Useless!!!!

  • Great and Greatest Mr Ak48…. 2400 screens only compare to khans 5000 screens and not favourite release date like EDX…Still going well…well done Akki

  • Akshay, Ajay & SRK failed to cross Madhavan in their last films.

    Madhavan >>>> Akshay, Ajay, SRK

    ha ha ha ha
    Too Much Fun

  • Salman, Aamir chasing 400 cr
    SRK, Hrithik chashing 200 cr

    Meanwhile, Akshay & Ajay still chase 100 cr
    lolzzzzz
    Airlift barely did 100 cr

  • There are plenty of similarities between Airlift and TWMR.
    TWMR- 2200screens.
    Airlift- 2300screen.
    Above all both the movies got rave reviews from critics.
    WOM are extremely positive of both.

    TWMR collected over 150cr. If Akki is really a bigger star than Kangna then airlift will surely surpass TWMR’s lifetime collections.

    P.S- gabbar, brothers, Singh is bling etc did not receive rave reviews from critics and WOM are mixed. Hence, I didn’t compare them with TWMR.

  • I think , Airlift being a niche movie beating masala movies Jai Ho and Agneepath after 2 years and 4 years respectively is also a big achievement .

  • @harjit:
    Itna khush mat ho!!! Because airlift has also surpassed most of recent choosa hua aam movies like don 2, ra 1, jthj etc…LOL.

    And at present choosa hua aam is struggling to go past even Kangna’s TWMR collections…!!! Kuch toh Sharm kar!!!
