Airlift Box Office Prediction and Teaser Review

The first teaser trailer of a film releasing in 2016 is out and it’s also time for us to make our first prediction for the new year.

The 2 minute long trailer is outstanding; high on production values, realistic performances, excellent background score and when a man waves the Indian flag on top of the Queen Alia International Airport, it also evokes a sense of patriotism. The teaser itself makes you want to watch the film, first day first show.

And then we have Akshay Kumar, one of the best and most versatile actors in the industry today, who seems to have delivered yet another terrific performance. His body language, dialogue delivery, the intensity and pain in his eyes.. makes you wonder if there is anything that Akshay cannot do? Unlike many other actors, there is very little homework that Akshay does. It’s all spontaneous. Remember, he shot Singh Is Bling and Airlift together.

4.5 stars for the teaser.

#IndicineFBO Box Office Prediction: Like Baby, which released during the same weekend last year, Airlift will have limited appeal for audience at mass centres. The film is targeted at the multiplex audience, and it’s here where Akshay films have under-performed in recent times. Also, it’ll be interesting to see what sort of marketing strategy the makers have planned for Airlift. The trailer of Baby was launched on December 3rd last year, it was received well, but without song promos in the weeks that followed, the film couldn’t sustain the buzz. The teaser of Airlift has released more than 2 months before the film.

We start IndicineFBO with a prediction of 10.6 crore for Airlift. The final prediction, like always, will be made on 21st January 2016 (a day before the film’s release). It’s releasing on a working Friday and has a big holiday for Republic Day on Tuesday. If the film is well-received, it could give Akshay his much-needed 100 crore grosser.
