Airlift is all set to beat the all-time 2nd highest grosser of January, Jai Ho, which released during the same period in 2014. The highest January grosser of all time is Agneepath.
Jai Ho: Huge release, mass-appeal, first Salman Khan film in 13 months, mixed to negative word-of-mouth at big centres, no advantage of Republic Day which happened to fall on Sunday. Higher costs, loss-making for distributors, Semi Hit / Above Average.
Airlift: Multiplex-targeted release, limited appeal, released 3-4 months after Singh Is Bling, hit screens on the same day as Kya Kool Hai Hum 3, one extra holiday (Republic Day holiday on Tuesday), positive word-of-mouth at cities. Perfect economics, profit-making for all involved, Super Hit.
Check out the box office collection comparison.

Jai Ho – masala movie targeted towards the masses, so called Superstar Bhai returning after 13 months, solo release, 3900 screens.
Result – Disastrous collections, total washout overseas.
Airlift – Niche genre movie targeted solely towards limited multiplex audience, Akshay Kumar’s 4th movie in a span of less than 10 months, limited screens, clash with a popular sex comedy franchise.
Result – Superhit collections, loved by all.
Who’s stardom is bigger ?

Bhai without holiday.. jai ho 112 cr flop
Akshay without holiday in 2012 Rowdy rathor 136 cr blockbuster….
Akshay > Salman
U called jai ho as avg for 2yrs. Suddenly semi hit kyu bol diye??? Kindly correct the typo :)
If AIRLIFT beats ROWDY RATHORE I will dance without clothes on road…
Forget Rowdy Rathore, if AIRLIFT crosses PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO’s 4 day collection, I will dance without clothes on road
Mind it
Fantastic collections
It will beat Rowdy Rathore
Airlift is a masterpiece .. Comparing it to a crap like Jai Ho is an insult to the well made gem.
Go Airlift ! Bravo ! I have my money on Airlift to surpass Agneepath & become the highest January grosser of all time.
#Kaali
Salman with 3900 screens & Akshay with a content rich movie failed to break 4 yrs old agneepath record.
Airlift ka 12 ka busines 11 day se jyada hai
Airlift will beat agnepath for sure,
2nd week total-29cr
3rd week total 10cr
4th week 4cr
Total lifetime 126-128cr
Without Holiday salman is zero….
Jai ho can easily collect 150+ if it was
starring Akshay…
Airlift wil nt collect more than 100 cr if was starring Non Actor salman
Seems that Agneepath’s 4 year old January record will stay intact. Nonetheless, Airlift is a well made movie!! Kongratz Akshay and gang! :)
Hehe some idiot say salman is bigger star aftar all srk nd akki prove self made star if prdp or jaiho is clash with airlift or bm or dilwale than lallu is sturrgle to cross 50 crore mark my word
Long live Akki n RIP SRK
Salman’s worst WOM film Jai Ho >>> Akki’s best WOM film Airlift
Akshay starpower= Varun Dhawan #Fact
Hrithik/Khans have crossed 200 cr easily while Akki struggling to cross 100 cr Lol
That means
Salman negative wom equals to akashy extremely positive wom
That’s Bhai’s real power without EDX. Jai Ho, even after releasing 13 months after his previous release with mass genre was a serious underperformer. Before jumping on to WOM as a reason, please note that almost all his BBs (sans Bajrangi and Dabangg 1) had mixed to negative WOM. So picture is crystal clear…isn’t it?
@kaali
SRK’s masla film with Varun dhawan, directed by Rohit Shetty on Christmas defeated by a NICHE film Bajirao Mastani
BM 188 crore >>>>>> Dilwale 145 crore
Shows who is bigger star
If Sultan beats Raees I will dance
without clothes on road…
Forget Raees, if Sultan crosses Rowdy rathor collection… I will
dance without clothes on road..
Shahruk’s MASALA film defeated by Ranveer’s NICHE film
BM superhit vs Dilwale semihit LOL
@kaali Biggest stars
1.Salman
2.Aamir
3.Hrithik
4.Akshay
5.Ranvir
6.SRK
Both r diff kind of films.
D comparison s pretty unfair I think.
71 days 2 go #Fan
Bajrangi Bhaijaan lifetime = 3 x Airlift lifetime
Akki fans, keep dreaming ………….ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
and then some say Jai Ho was released on 4500 screens! looks like it(Jai Ho) also released on 600 screens in Bakrapur too.
3900 screens
Less Promotion
Remake Factor
Not So Impressive Starcast Except BHAI,DANNY n TABBU
Flop Music
Low ticket rates and also tax free in some states
MIM Boycott
n
Most IMP- Non-Holiday Release
Still,
Did 116 cr only becoz of Megastar BHAI ?
Don’t even think about it. Forget about compere with salman Khan mega star
Akshey is not even close to salu bhai. Get your fact idiots fan of akkki
I Really thinking & laughing…
Akshay’s Welcome (blockbuster) Crushed Aamir’s
production Taare Zameen Par (Super hit) in
2007. …
Hahaha….Now some idiots are comparing Akshay’s best performed airlift with Bhai worst performed Jai ho (in recent times). See Bhai’s worst movie Jai ho collected 113cr and Akki’s worst performed joker collected only 21cr nett. Why don’t you compare joker’s collections with jai ho or airlift’s collections with Bajrangi Bhaijaan???
Haters who will be saying many thing about box office collection of akshay’s movie should just look at his last years collection . (2015)
