Akshay Kumar’s Airlift is unlikely to be his biggest grosser (currently Rowdy Rathore at 134 crore), the reason for which is the limited appeal of the film at smaller cities and towns.
The film has collected 107 crore in 12 days and should end Week 2 at around the 110 – 111 crore mark. The drop from Week 1 to Week 2 will be around 65% and if Week 3 and Week 4 have similar drops, Airlift would collect around 14-15 crore after Week 2 – which would take the lifetime business of the film to Rs 120 – 125 crore range.
Airlift is likely to be Akshay’s 2nd highest grosser, beating his other 100 crore grossers Housefull 2 and Holiday: A Solider Is Never Off Duty.
The big question will now be if Airlift can beat the 4-year-old January record set by Hrithik Roshan’s Agneepath.

Its doing so well i loved the film while its doing good business why always try to compare films with collections as different movies have different budget
@megha at least akki doesn’t need any festival release like ur salman, last time salman gave non-festival release jai ho and it was an average grosser… salman has only 1 successful film on non-festival release in recent yrs and that was blockbuster ready…. unlike akki who has four 100 crores grossers in non-festival releases…
akshay kumar rox his next release housefull 3 will surely break rowdy rathore’s record and rustom will be clean-hit also looking forward for upcoming blockbusters: mohenjo daro, raees, sultan, ms dhoni biopic, azhar, shivaay, fitoor and raaz 4..
On monday the collections were 2.53 cr n on tuesday its 2.61cr..slowly n steadily it will cross agneepath’s 122 cr to be the highest grosser of january..
@ Floppy u r a big ass hole. Mujhe pata h tumhari hi sabse jyada Jal rahi h… Tum Wahi ho Jo Ise 60 crore bata rahe the or ab ye 125+ karegi….ab to akki fan teri roj aisey hi lenge….
My most awaited movies of 2016
1-Raees
2-Fan
3-Ms Dhoni
4-Mohenjodaro
5-Ae dil hai mushkil
6-Houseful 3
7-Befikre
8-Shivaay
9-Raabta
10-Rock on2
Agneepath looks difficult !!
Even if it doesn’t cross agneepath it is a winner as the content was niche and even I was expecting it do anywhere between 80-85… Not more
It has surpassed expectations of trade by quite a margin
Joker Boy cant even beat his own pathetic mediocrity from yesteryear n yet his deluded joke of a fanbase chant nonsense like ‘Gobbar is Back on top’ etc etc etc
What a joke
@1:32pm
Hahahaha
Simply loved the “arjun dumbistan” observation…..
I cant believe I never thought of calling the Bengali Village Idiot that myself before…! Thumbs up
As long as it’s a clean super hit ww already there’s no need to break records since it’s not like it will end up highest grossing film of the year, 160 cr business worldeide is great for such film and maybe roi wise it will be most profitable movie of the year. After Lagan airlift proved movies on historical drama can do wonderful business.
LLlu fans are jealous that lallu hasn’t given a single hit in offbeat films and there talking as if he has. All superstars gave special hits in that genre, srk did it with cdi, aamir done with Lagaan and tzp, range de basanti, hrithik did it with jodha Akbar, akki did it with special chabbis, omg and airlift. Lallu yet to do that then his fans can talk, and don’t categorise bb as offbeat, bb has action, songs and heroine
i m wating 4 mohenjodaro indicine plz share any info of 1st promo of mohenjodaro when it will be coming
Hrithik Roshan is the Real Super Hero
4years and still counting…
Its shame that Salman, Akki and even biggest Franchise Race..tryed but failed.
Now that Airlift wont touch 150cr Akki fans are busy comparing it with Jai Ho a film which had Worst WOM with a film which had good WOM.
Comparing Salman worst film in recent years with Akki best film says it all who is well ahead of the other,atleast Salman worst film touched 100cr as for Akki’s worst film in recent years,they are so many that i do not know which one to choose.
Too bad.. Try harder next time…beating Agneepath record I don’t think so.. May be Ek villain record. Joker is a complete joke..can’t he atleast shock box office even if it’s once in his lifetime. Can’t break into 20 crs opening? Sib was 19 at most. Ranbir still is the boy Joker has to beat both opening and lifetime… Forget about beating Ranveer 1st week. What was Varun last movie 1st week? oh! Stardom wise Akki is just steady….
@Neeraj…. No he is not. It’s a big shame!!
But his loyal stupid fans can’t swallow it!!
Just finished watching 3/4 of Hera Pheri original on star gold once more.
Wow never knew Akki was playing supporting role to Suniel Shetty and Paresh!! Nice movie
If Ajay devgan was in this movie . The limit was only 80 cr. Max
Lol Airlift will cross Lallu’s Flop Ho LT collection in this week. Shame on Salman and his Fans. HUHUHUHU BHAITARDS ROXXX!!!!!
Extra-ordinary W.O.M, Superb response, patriotic element, Strong content, never seen before reviews from critics. Still struggling to go past even 120cr!!! With lesser advantages TWMR collected over 150cr. Kangna>>>makkhi. Doob Marne Waali Sharm ki Baat!!!
@EHSAAN FARAMOSH someBuddhi:
Only a Bangladeshi village idiot chameleon can think Sultan will collect less than airlift, hf3 and fan….LOL.
Now some idiots are comparing floppy’s best performed airlift with Bhai worst performed Jai ho in recent times. Morons 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 collections with jai ho, monsons???
According to most of the jokerwalas airlift is a niche movie relesed on only 2300screens otherwise it would have collected over 200/300cr and bcm blockbuster. Fine, but can you explain idiots why did baby, gobar, brothers, Singh is Bandar fail to collect even 80cr despite being commercial genre and holiday releases, got 3500screens???….LOL.
@Satyam : Define a Self made star ? Can you ?
Some fools thinks having family or forefathers helps to rule in industry !!!!! If this is the case I wonder why Abhishek is not the biggest superstar of today? Why is Rajini’s daughter or his son-in-law Dhanush not as big as Surya or Vijay or Ajith (in south) ? Yes, I agree actors from non filmy background have to work more harder to get in but they dont have to face the huge expectations from audience like star kids faces !!!!!!!!!!!!!
everyone comparing AIRLIFT with shit films will only compare on the basis of collection and don’t dare to talk about content. AIRLIFT would have collected huge if not for January (most people won’t watch movies in January because already have spent a lot on movies since diwali-christmas) and multiple movies releasing back to back so any sensible person won’t talk about collection. Even with all these adversities AIRLIFT will most likely become highest grosser of January. If you have guts then let’s compare content of AIRLIFT with any movie you want.
@hrithik exactly. These shahthuk fans and makkhi fans are insane. They dont see that aamir is megastar because of his talent, hard work and dedication towards his work. They compare their do called self made stars who have hardly given as many classics as aamir forget as many, they have not even given half number of classics as megastar aamir khan. Srk van only overact and akshay is not bad but his fans are cheap. I still respect akshay because he is not arrogant like shahthuk but his fans make me bash him. They have no right to blame aamir and hrithik because whatever they are, they are superstars because of their talent.
@yousif..
Had Ajay not rejected s26.. Nuffin like Joker.
If Akki was in Drishyam mixed with 2biggest audience appeal movie so far BB and bahubali,then with mi5 bangistan.. It would have been 25 crs. Only regional legends Mohanlal kamal Hassan were offered that role..so Akki is definitely out!!
