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.

@Tiger the real king , what if we compare marigold , yuvraaj, gtgh, mai or mrs. khanna………..list continues , these are the clasical atbb of megastar bhai, I never bash any star but you proves again and again that you are an akshau hatter, jinke khud ke ghar sheeshe ke bane ho vo dusro ke gharo pe pathtgar nahi phenkte, megastardom of less than one crore lifetime, unmatchable as well as uncomparable.
Salman fans ans akshay fans, dont fight we have to look to the SRK FAN, Uska button band karna hai.
Akshay fans are the biggest idiots. Maybe you forgot entertainment or brothers or SIB or Gabbar. They only made 80cr. And now they are happy with jai ho collection comparison. Well like i said that is their auqat only too conpare with salmans lowest grosser. You joker should remember PRDP and BB. Then you should remember you shitty star
Excellent article.. The concept of describing the movies gets full marks from my side.. Would love to see the same kind of presentation in many more articles to come
Look at all these dumb idiots saying Salman is nothing wothout holiday,Akki even got a christmas release but what happened,Akki even gave a flop on holiday in form of Brothers last year.
Unless your forgeting Akki is still chasing Salman non-holiday release Bodygourd which callect more than all his highest grosser in his whole career.
Some people expecting 25 cr. single day from airlift with 2300 screens and limuted appeal, sinle day capacity of airlift was around 21-22 crs . on 2300 screens with clash and 100 % occupacy throughout the day so how can it manage to do 25 crs., but what can we expect from intellectuals like @ ultron a salmaniac.
jai ho released with lower ticket price with extremely low wom and it collected higher first week and first weekend than airlift which defines stardom and some akki fans comparing him with Salman whose highest grossing movie collected 3times higher than akki,s highest grossing movie hahahahahahahaha …….
Lol Akki fans are very diludede unless your forgeting all Akki releases last year were chasing Salman’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Comparing Salman’s worst WOM film with Akki’s best WOM film in his whole career says it all whos way below the other.
Comparing Akki with Salman is a serious crime,Akki cannot even touch 150cr and 250cr WW even with good WOM and comparing him with a person who is chasing 350cr,i just wonder how much Akki film will collect if it has bad WOM as Jai Ho LOL
Why are we comparing Akshay to the Khans!! Has Akshay got a 100 crore in 3 days? He struggles to get in to the 100 crore market!! His fans are even more stupid!!before each of his release they predict min 150!! Housefull 3 is his only chance to get over 150 crore!! Khans are untouchable!! like it or hate it!!!
According to makkhians Jai ho would have collected over 150cr if Akki starred it. Morons, can you answer then WTH his own releases like baby, gobar, brothers, entertainment, boss, Singh is Bandar etc struggled to go past even 80cr mark?? WTH his best performed airlift is struggling to go past even 120cr??? On serious note how many joker movies collected over 150cr???
look at the difference between akkifan(sunny akkiholic) & hrfan (saksham).Sunny bashing hr badly & saksham praising akki from the bottom of his heart.
One more thing they are comaring sallus worst wom movie with akkis best wom movie.
DIFFERENCE
hr is a great actor,a great human being but people like @sunny akkiholic bashing him everytime.
i want a clear answer from sunny why r u bashing hr?
i always believe that akki & hr are the only non khans or kapoors to rule btown, & they r great friends,so why r u hating hr so much?
@mera ghulam from idiotzone:
Hahahaha… Barking on Bhai’s holiday releases!!! Atleast Bhai has two non holiday releases in recent years (ready & Jai ho). And how many non holiday releases your queen has in this period??? ZERO!!! Jab kuch bhi pat nahi toh bhonkta kyu hai???
Yes, Bhai movies faced no clash in recent years. Because nobody can dare to clash with him. After all he is a Megastar not your chongu mongu star.
Only morons like you can compare Bhai’s two years old Jai ho’s collections with queen’s latest excusewale collections. And if we do the same and compare Bajrangi Bhaijaan collections with jthj, don 2 etc then tumlogo ko toh moonh sipane ka bhi jagah nahi milega!!!
@Lallu fans Lallu is nothing without edx…tell him to release 4movies a year…without edx and with clashes…lets see…If his any movie crosses 50 cr mark trust me i’ll stop watching films forever… if kkhh3 clashed with prdp, it would suffer to cross even 100 cr mark…If bm clashed prdp wouldn’t even collect 70 cwith the power of Diwali…And if HF3 clashes with Sultan(both having 3000 screens) hf3 will collect 200 cr & Sultan 70 cr…
Raees=200
Sultan=160
Mark my words with 3 open weeks…
HF3 with a bigger clash will collect over 220 cr in Non-Holiday period…
Bcz Akki fans are not Rickshawalas…
Salman fans look frustrated…akkians nd akki are On fire…totally Thrashed salman fans today. ..
@Nipu Read cmnts of @Neeraj loser.
Bashing akki nd calling krish actor bigger then him …it’s LOL To Know tht hrithk has given only 9 hits in his 16 year carrer.
Nd u believe tht akki nd hr r D non khans actor To rule bollywood…This is well known thing dude,it’s not just ur believe.. Everybody knows it.
I believe nd whts Most public nd media believe tht akshay kumar is d only non khan superstar to rule bollywood. ..then comes hrithik nd ranbir …
Most Akki fans r stupid, they Will only bash khans no matter hrithik fan will bash akshay nd rustom but akki fans will only bash khans
somebody should show real position of hrithik in bollywood …I will if anybody will rank him above then akshay or mohanjodaro above then rustom.
hrithik is the ultimate and i mean ultimate super duper mega evergreen gigantic humungous fantabulous earth shattering universal power packed creation of god
ist is hrithik then akshay and nowadays ranveer singh is also good with his bm success
airlift will end up collecting maximum 124-125 crores life time still super-hit…
@xzone as an akki fan i have also watched dilwale and it was a good movie far better than chennai express and happy new year… still it was successful at boxoffice india semi-hit and blockbuster overseas…. looking forward for raees srk seemed to be looking in devastating form… it will be super-hit…
Stop fighting friends…. we r not going to get reward from these two superstars…..agar gussa aur nafrat rakhna hai toh keep for them who were spoiling our society….. you guys know what I mean
i have a lot of respect for salman khan but since indicine has made stupid comparision between two completely different films…. it has caused unnecessary fan wars… why can’t indicine do holiday vs airlift or housefull 2 vs airlift….
sunny akkiholic should be banned from indicine its my request to indicine that plz dont publish his stupid comments… even some ppl like rew1 and other guys who have nothing against akki start bashing him everytime… i remember ajay rocks user was not a akki hater but due to sunny chutiaholics comments he became an akki hater and publishes his annoying comments…. buzz of sunny chutiachechi big slap to u from an die hard akki fan….
In spite of getting lesser screen and facing competition with KKHH 3 and mastizaade Airlift beats So called ”superstar” starrer Flop Ho’s Domestic, overseas and WW collection. Now acc to Bhaitards their remake king is a ”superstar “. But he is really a superstar???? I have doubt !!!!! Akki is real Superstar and actor in bollywood unlike non actor salman
Am sure without Eid Lallu’s BB was unable to collect even 200 cr. And if he did Airlift then it did maximum 80 cr. It’s akki power that it will cross 120 cr. Akki’s stardom much much greater than So called superstar Lallu khan. :D

SRK fans live in dreams of “If, but, these & that” these all things.
Learned my lesson never support any akki films for now on. Dop ke mare tumahri mahkkians stardom. Can’t even collected 300cr even with good word of mouth while salman earns 112cr with bad word of mouth. There is your difference. 112cr while Airlift have 110cr… I see no stardom only jokerdom. Even ranveer singh earned more than your joker.
@Flop king Salman : you stupid makkhi fan Salman is megastar. Don’t compare Makkhi with Bhai. Our Bhai is a living legend and no. 1 star in the world. Where Akki is the worst actor of the world. Last year his all movies were flop. Salman khan RULES…………
