Airlift vs The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book is all set to become the highest grosser of 2016, as the film will beat the collections of Akshay Kumar’s Airlift this weekend. The Hollywood film is not only the best trending film of the year, but the only film that has found ‘universal appreciation‘.

The first week collections of Airlift was higher than The Jungle Book, but in the second week, the Akshay starrer will be left far behind. While Airlift collected 28.79 crore in Week 2, The Jungle Book has already collected 38.66 crore in 5 days and will finish with second week business of around 47 crore. It has achieved these numbers even with the release of a massive film like Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘FAN’ which released in 3500 screens and got plenty of shows at multiplexes.

The trend suggests that ‘The Jungle Book’ will finish with lifetime business of 150-160 crore net. It’ll be the film to beat this year and it’ll also be interesting to see if any ‘non-festive‘ release will beat the collections of ‘The Jungle Book’.

  • Yes it will beat airlift. but The jungle book is an universally accepted film whenever airlift is an limited audions.

    Airlift is the best film of 2016 so far.
    and the end of the year it will be in top 5 film of 2016.
    but when comes to the collection it will remains 8 to 9th spot.

  • so it has chance to be in top 5 grossers this year.
    Indicine acc. to u which movies will find U.A this year.name a few?

  • This is a LOL on all the Akki fans who were making fun of Shahrukh. Fan was crap rite? But Airlift is a classic so what happened? Should have the guts now to ridicule Akki as his classic movie is going to be beaten by this puny movie. The Jungle Book also beats jai ho.

    Too much fun !!!!!!!!

  • Airlift worked because of content otherwise it would collect 60 cr.

    Btw, I’m really surprised ? how Srk fans kept quite till now. Come on guys, it’s time to revenge and teach a lifetime lesson to Floppy Kumar and his aukaat fans. They were and still bashing Srk none stop and this @babaji is the biggest hypocrite of @indicine he is pretending to be neutral fan but he is indirectly bashin King and do I have to mention how other floppy Kumar fans are barking on King Khan articles??.

  • The Jungle Book was a great experience . The CGI was awesome . Actors , Neel Sethi , Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson did fantastic job .

  • Bollywood needs to start investing more on script writers. Seriously! Every big banner must have an institution where people will do causes, workshops and research so hindi movies will be authentic and entertaining. Maybe some people in bwood don’t know how big and popular their movie industry is. Everybody is watching hindi movies these days from the corner of Afrika to the mountains of South Amerika. And people are really smart these days. So stop making em senseless movies . It is bollywood that people go to for a change when one get bored with hollywod. So get ur game together

  • Managed to watch Fan .
    I don’t want to review it but I will tell two things which hurt me the most ; number one when Gaurav meets Aryan in the prison, Gaurav cries and he wants Aryan to appreciate what he has done for him .
    But Aryan doesn’t appreciate instead rebukes him and tells him I told the police to arrest u so that u should be punished for what u have done . This scene when Gaurav finds out that one whom he loved the most has informed the police ” I find this scene very very emotional and disheartening.
    Number 2 the ending where Gaurav fights with Aryan. Gaurav cries and tells Aryan that I did so much for u I ruined my life only for u and u tell me that I should go to my way and forget this love . And when he says that u said everything but u didn’t say sorry ( I madly cried when I heard this line ) because all of those things happened and ended very disheartening because of these two things .

    And at the climax when both Aryan and Gaurav cry and tells Gaurav not to commit suicide made my eyes teary. I really really really cried during this ending scene .
    For those people who didn’t cry during this scene let me remind you sth . U will cry when u lose one of ur dears. I know this is only a film .

    I have watched Darr, Baazigar, kabhi ha kabhi na ,Devdas, kkhh, dil se , mnik etc
    I did not cry watching those as much as I cried during the climax of Fan … I found it extremely extremely emotional.
    And for box office. I got angry when dilwale didn’t perform well at box office but I Don’t care about Fan collection.

    Srk u have increased my loved much much much more than I ever had for u sir !!!!!!!!
    I will always be ur die hard fan .
    I know Fan has flopped. But whatever is it is … we can’t satisfy all the section of audience with movies like Fan and swedes.
    And coming to srk’s performance . He has done brilliant acting in Fan especially as Gaurav … it is hard to change ur voice and act as a 25 yrs old boy …..

    This might be my last comment. Maybe I shall never be able to visit indicine.
    Srk has satisfied me to the fullest with Fan
    There is nothing more that I should ask him for …. love u srk , love u srk fans , love you indicine and thanks for entertaining us

    This might be my last comment.
    I have written these comments with teary eyes ?
    Bye bye … u said everything but u didn’t say sorry ? Gaurav. ??????

  • It seems that the only obstacle that can stand upto the Jungke Book is not the Global Icon but the Megastar Salman Khan…!

    Sultan will be the saving grace 4 Btown this embarrassing yr so far.

  • Who says the year is embarrassing…. There is a line-up of fantastic n strong content movie like Sarbjit, Cabaret n 1920 London. The classic period drama Mohenjodero is also on the way. Neerja, Airlift, The Jungle Book and Kapoor and Sons have already proven their worth.

    Note that i’m not talking from box office collection point of view. Hence excluded Sultan, Dangal, Raees n Housefull 3 from the list. Fan is already a disater…

  • @ Floppy at 9:25 pm: I am hoping none of the SRKians bash here otherwise what would remain the difference?

    Airlift was a very good movie and deserves all praises. Akshaye was awesome in it as well.

    And yes it will be extra ordinary if Jungle Book crosses 150 cr. Un-imaginable.
    It just released with 1600 screens on a normal weekend. Faced clash in second week with a big movie, Fan. And if it still crosses 150 cr then it should be one of the biggest success stories of recent times.

  • @nawaab, bro I don’t need to lie .
    I have kidney failure ?
    I don’t know for how more months I will be alive . So there is no need to use another id.

  • I have one doubt.

    If ppl say that fan was made for srk fans and they are watching and enjoying it, then how come the collections are so less. Surely the footfalls aren’t even close to 3.7 billion. Where has the biggest so-called fan base gone? Weren’t they instrumental in srk winning every online poll, contest and war?!

  • @navin u moron. Bollywood hasn’t been embarrassed by anyone to need a wooden steroid actor to save our face. One jungle book cannot embarrass bollywood just like 20 flops btwn 2000-09 couldn’t embarrass bhai

  • Haha a big lol for those srk fans who are comparing jai ho with jungle book,, its content movie ok n its happening in 2016 nt in 2014,, if u wana compare by that logic ur king , jthj 110, don, don2, under 100, mnik,dilwale, n much more so shut up ur stupid logic,,, ur showing how much ur inteligent, lol,
    some srk saying indian people have no brain n sense they want only dance n songs, so by that logic indian people should bycot ur raees , in which sunny leone doing item number, hypocryte , if they watch these nangi pungi lungi dance then they have brain hahaha crying srk fans

  • To all SRK haters…………

    FAN 6 Day collection so far…..

    6 days = 69.95 !!!

    Not bad for a ‘niche’ non-masala dark thriller.

    FAN 1st week total = 74-75 Easily now.

    Prediction:

    Fan 2nd Weekend = 20 Cr. easily
    FAN 2nd week = 32-33 Cr easily.

    FAN Final Lifetime collection now: 110-115 Cr!

    take that haters!!!! lol.

  • Its shame on bollywood release with star power..
    that a flim with out a star did collection almost the double of others..

  • @Javed bro.. very sad to hear that. I hope you recover soon. Don’t lose hope. Be positive. We are all with you.

    Don’t worry about SRK. He’ll bounce back stronger than ever in Raees. Trust me on that. He has never failed in his life, in anything. One flop can’t destroy his career. Keep believing.

  • Fan is far better than airlft ….airlift earns 120+ because republic day release and real issue..of film…….and mogli is going to beat airlift also …..akki fans …are behind by salman srk aamir rhitik from 20 years..

  • @ANK, ??? fair enough.

    Anyway, I don’t agree with you that Airlift worked because of Floppy’s performance… It worked because of the true story that the movie based and it had a patriotic vibe too.
    Most of the neutral fans who watched the movie lambasted Ali’s voice which was like a childish one ??.

    @Javed, sorry to heard that bro. Be strong and everything will be fine.
    God bless you

  • @arjunyoungidtanfan, keep dreaming man. Houseful 3 will be the biggest disaster of the year and it will surely give us our beloved 60 cr actor. ???

  • But airlift is still highest grosser bollywood film. Despite being a slow pace niche film. That’s the power of akshay kumar. He is making niche nd Limited section of audience movie hit at box office which SRK can never..if doubt then check the verdict of swadesh nd fan. This is stardom Of Akshay kumar.

  • @ Javed : May you recover really soon. My prays with you.

    Regarding Fan, just relax. With just one flop you are forgetting so many hits of his. His first in 11 years. This will make him just more stronger believe me. And Raees is coming which will make u feel better.

    And by the way those 2 scenes u mentioned are also my most favorite scenes of the movie :)
