Rustom weekend beats Airlift, just behind Housefull 3

Rustom has recorded a fantastic first weekend of 49-50 crore, which is about 15% more than the first 3-day collections of Airlift which released earlier this year. The collections are only a little lower than a franchise film like Housefull 3 which appealed to a larger section of the audience.

It’s also worth pointing out that Rustom was up against a big film like ‘Mohenjo Daro’ and has still managed to surpass the collections of ‘Airlift’.

The first weekend of Rustom is also only a little lower than ‘FAN’ which released on a partial holiday.

Mohenjo Daro is a washout with weekend business of around 30 crore, which is less than films like Baaghi, Dishoom and Udta Punjab.

Top 10 First Weekend Collections of 2016

  • Sultan – 105.53 crore

  • Maybe sometimes I bash Akki for his fans idiotic behaviour. But I must say Rustam’s collections are fantastic. Another sureshot 100cr grosser for Akki.

  • i blv u shd mention d screen scount as well for d readers to know its True Achievement..whr Airlift nd Rustom rls on 2300 odd screens..Fan..hf3 released on 3500-3700 screend nd Sultan on 4500 Screens @INDICINE

    Getting a 20Cr on a day today in 2000+ odd screens without a National Holiday is nothing less than Terrfic..and this happened inspite of clash

  • HF3 weekend>>>content rich Fan weekend. Also all the last 3 releases of Akki collected much more than content rich Fan. Hence, shouldn’t we consider Akki as bigger star than duniya ka sabse bada superstar aka global king???

  • Hritik has no film expect kabil in his upcomming lineup if kabil become disaster like mohenjodaro then hritik will be remembered as next Jimmi Shergil

  • 50 Cr. Weekend. Yet another flop for akshay kumar. Average Movie. I doubt it will do 200 + crore life time that Joker Kumar Fans think.
    Airlift did 123-124 Cr, Rustom should have a similar finish. Average grosser.

  • total collection this independence day 102+58=160cr acc to indicine… expected collection before release and after trailer launch 110+115=225cr…total loss for trade is 65 cr..and then we say clash is good for exibitors

  • Joker Boys 3 crapfests of 2016 have /will collect atleast 100cr but Global Pankha Salesman Of The Month For Aprils mahacrap PANKHA couldnt even earn 80cr…

    Surely Joker Boy is a bigger bankable star than our Galaxy Superstar Pluto King….?

  • @3:26am Romu Kaka

    Worry less about Jadoo Boy becoming the next Jimmy ‘whatever his name is’ n worry more about whether your Pluto King can become the next Shreyas Talpade….!

  • If Mohjodro can not cross 50 crore mark in its life time…. It will all time disaster Of Hindi Cinema because it will first movie which lose 100+ crore……

    Hrithik Fee is For MD is 68 crore

    Where is these Hrithikiens Who were Saying All time Blockbuster…..

  • The weekend is not yet over. There’s still Monday remaining, today it could be the highest single day collection for Akshay Kumar.

  • I wish I could post screenshots of idiot HR fans,who were screaming like Weekend collection of MJD will be 100+ Crs.

  • HAPpy INDEPendence DAy TO U @INDICINE AND ALL..

    BHARAT MATAKI JAI.JAI HIND.
    #INDIA.

  • Hence its proved that..
    TIGER>>>>>>>HR
    Varun>>>>>HR
    Shahid>>>HR
    .
    .
    HR will now fight for 9th place with Arjun Kapoor
    .
    .
    And HR fans should take care of their Pichhwada.?

  • The under performance of Mohenjodaro will not affect Hrithik much but it will affect the beautiful Pooja Hegde.
    Adult type film makers like Balaji and Bhatts might offer her such roles you know. I hope she finds good respectful directors.

    Congratulation Akshay fans. Rustom roaring at the box office.

  • Hahaha @ virat kholi …i can see your frustration dude ….go get some life…….hahahahaha lol you are looking like a dog who is scratching the pillar

  • In that case
    mohra’s 1st day greater than Hahk
    suhaag opening greater than Andaaz apna apna
    garam masala weekend greater then Kyun ki
    blue greater than Mamk
    should we consider Akki bigger star in 90s than Hindustaan ka sabse bada superstar for last 20 years as OPENING shows stardom?

  • I saw Rustom on Friday and I am very impressed. Akshay kumar has put one of the best restrained role. I am glad to see a good movie is getting recognized. I hope Akshay keeps doing this type of movie and stops houseful and Singh is bling type of movies.

  • It’s a Good Collection considering it is clashed against Big budget movie (though movie totally washout in it’s very 1st day)…….So there is chance to cross 100cr now……but still hold on Tuesday is important…..But one thing is confirm now that Akki is bigger star than Srk…..So congrats Akki fans

  • Many people claim that they r fan of SRK Sallu Hrithik Akshay etc but when their films fails where these ppl vanish Fan Brothers Jai Ho n now Mohenjo daro or there r very few true fans I feel if a film is good ppl will watch do you know Tanu weds manu 2 did 150 cr which is more than any Ajay Akshay starrer film

  • @ tiger,there is less than 1 crore difference between fan weekend and HF3 weekend.and your comparison makes no sense as HF3 is multistarrer comedy film which has hit music and wider appeal.whereas Fan had absolutely nothing of above mentioned factors.

  • Rustom
    mon- 20cr+
    Tue- 5cr+
    Wed- 4cr+
    Thu- 7cr+ (rakshabandhan)
    1st week- 87cr+

    2nd weekend
    fri- 6cr+
    sat- 7cr+
    sun- 8cr+
    After 2nd weekend- 108cr+
    remaining week- 20cr+
    lifetime- 120+

  • With lesser screen…….over hyped MJH…..Its a achievement for akki paji……..Toady advance booking is also good…….and dnt forget two more partial hoilday is coming on this week……….1st is parsi new year and rakshabandhan……..might be first akshay kumar movie which shall cross 100cr in its first week.

  • With this, I give the due respects and credits to Akki for giving three hits in a row in a single year!
    Hats off, man!!!!
