Airlift has become Akshay Kumar’s most profitable film since Rowdy Rathore, which released back in 2012. In between, the superstar had films like Holiday: A Soldier is Never Off Duty, Special 26, Baby and Gabbar Is Back, but none were as profitable as Airlift.
OMG! Oh My God was a huge success, but it did not feature Akshay Kumar in the lead.
A big success at multiplexes couldn’t have come at a better time for Akshay, as he awaits the release of his most successful franchise film ‘Housefull 3’ in June this year.
Released during the extended Republic Day weekend, Airlift has collected Rs 102 crore in 10 days at the box office so far. The film had to collect around 65-70 crore from India and around $3 million from overseas to recover costs. It managed to do so in its first weekend itself. The India share is expected to touch the 60 crore mark, while overseas the film could get close to $6 million – nearly doubling the figure that it needed to recover costs.
Super Hit.
now because of huge success of Airlift
Housefull 3 has any chance to cross the magical figure of 200 crore in domestic boxoffice and Housefull 3 will also become the first movie of akshay kumar which will cross $10 Million in overseas
Got the reason of the EDX’s So Called Heros Problems VS The Khiladi’s Performance…
EDX’s So Called Actors ( Lallu, Haklu, Batalu ) are very much dependent on the festive seasons for realising their films i.e. Eid, Diwali And Xmas. Because they are very much understood that without these holiday, They are very weak to pull the crowds into the theaters and they have already proved it by releasing their films on NON HOLIDAYS… Hahahhahahahaa…
Exactly, They all have fallen on their faces…
In other side, Akki is the only real star or I would improve myself here, A TRUE RISK TAKER AND MORE CONFIDENT SUPERSTAR that, If He will release his movies without waiting holiday like other COWARDS…
HE HAS THE POWER TO PULL A HUGE AUDIENCE TO BOTH MULTIPLEXES AND SINGLE SCREENS…
Whether it is 4 times in a year or even 5 times in a year, The audience surely come to watch Bhai’s movies…
And such capacity has never been seen before by any old actors with the similar age or the youngsters…
That’s the CONFIDENCE, You haters…
Bit unfortunate, HAR KISI MEIN NAHI HOTA and this quality makes us ( AKKIANS ) feel PROUD….
I would love to hear something now from the Morons like – Floppy, Flopakky, Chuuu Pandey and other haters…!!!
Great akshay kumar..
Finally Akki gives a 100cr grosser after 6-7attempts!!
Kudos to 60cr club’s sry 80cr club’s superstar!!!
Now, Joker fans are chanting airlift is a niche movie relesed on only 2300screens otherwise it would have collected 200/300cr and bcm blockbuster. Fine, but jokertards can you explain why did baby, gobar, brothers, Singh is Bandar fail to collect even 90cr despite being commercial genre, holiday release on 3500screens???….LOL.
@ sunny akkiholic. Oh my god is worked due to content and + wom not because of akshya. Then what about joker. Oh my god collects 83 cr in which akshya is in supporting role but in joker he is in lead role which collected only 21 cr. Same is in the case of airlift.
Oh my god ! and joker both released in 2012. Oh my god ! will have done same business even chankhi panday play supporting role in place of akshya.
@sunny jokerholic:
According to you omg was successful due to Akki’s stardom. Fine, do you know it’s opening day collections??? ….Only 4cr….
Power of floppy kumar!!!…LOL.
If Akshay can collect record collections with an offbeat film like AIRLIFT with all the obstacles, then imagine what happens when the lord of comedy returns to what he does best 3 TIMES HOUSEFULL!.
@floppy Airlift made 156% Profit; Superhit At The Box Office In India so get ur brains checked u attention beggar
@Yash Chopra, the last sentence of ur comment suit you too.
@next superhero its chunky pandey learn to spell it properly u illiterate kid…..
@to all haters get a life have better things to do rather than showing us your stupidity
Akshay is best.
@indicine pls send this moron @tigress the chuhia to his revital tere naam ashram….
He needs some burnol and he need it right now…lol
IF Airlift starred our MR.Floppy, then not only Floppy but the Makers would also be found begging outside Airport, using Airlift as a way to gain extra 2 rupees…(2 Rupees would also be the exact collection of Airlift then)
Mr. Floppy: 2 Rupees beggar(Can’t even say 2 rupees actor)
Great article unmatchable akki….These floppy who is getting jelous because you taught him about the insecure khans is worth a clap……..Mr floppy agree it …u also liked airlift……..nobody is interested in your stupid comments
@ tiger the fake king…..success is not only measured through collections brother, a movie should remain in hearts of audience, like bajrangi bhaijaan, baby, omg etc :) I am not against anyone but you are going overboard, putting hate comments everywhere, salman and akki are frnds, why are you bashing relentlessly and without proper reasons?
Well done Akshay – an outsider with no assistance from the Chopra’s and Johars, you have made it and still going strong.
@floppy user start begging go to akki’s house and ask for 2 rs…
@jokerpol:
Oye Akki ne aisaa kya achieve kar liya Jo mein burnol use karon??? He has just crossed 100cr mark after 6-7 attempts and our Bhai used to cross that figure within 3 days…LOL.
@devi:
It’s not me your mates like #sunny jokerholic who started these all. E.g- Check this article http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/airlift-day-9-2nd-saturday-box-office-collections/comment-page-3/#comments.
Before this article I hardly bashed airlift and Akki.
@tiger fools will be everywhere, why are you becoming one of them, just ignore, even I don’t like their comments, I replied to you only because I see your comments are everywhere, I like bhai fans because they support akki..why create fight??
moreover support these kind of movies, its a shame that this movie is not earning 200-300 cr … it shows audience prefer masala entertainers over these, we shouldn’t be proud that dilwale etc earned more and this failed, also if these movies create record that will be amazing for bollywood
