Akshay Kumar’s Rustom is all set to emerge a ‘Super Hit’ at the domestic box office, as the film was outstanding on the partial holiday for Raksha Bandhan. The film has collected Rs 8.62 crore on Thursday, taking its first week total above the 90 crore mark.
Rustom is the highest ever first week total for a film starring Akshay Kumar in the lead. The film will cross the 100 crore mark by the end of its second weekend (outside chance of doing so tomorrow itself) and also become the third consecutive 100 crore grosser for the superstar. It’s a record that no other actor in the industry has achieved.
Looking at the strong hold of Rustom on 2nd Friday, the film could challenge the lifetime business of films like Airlift and Rowdy Rathore to become the highest ever grosser for Akshay.
The new release this week – Happy Bhaag Jayegi – has opened poorly and Rustom is running at 2-3 times the occupancy at multiplexes as compared to the new release. Some shows in metro cities were houseful even on the 8th day.

@ aryan sharma
You said this sentence: “I remember how you,@A.B. @ANK, @Nipun @Saksham @Ultron & many others were shouting that RUSTOM will be a 60Cr disaster & MJD wll be 200Cr ATBB.”
Share comments of all these people where they predicted rustom a disaster and Mjd atbb. Comments of all & not 1/2 persons. If cannot share admit you are aryan bitc.
@aryan sharma out of his 10 hits(not 8) he has 4 blockbusters ,3 hgoty ,2 athg and 2 3cr.+ footfalls
which 13 disaster kumar can achieve in only dreams
hrithik have achieve in just 20 which akki can’t achieve in 100+ movies
Akshay all movies first week collections in 2016 – 83 + 80 + 90 = 253 crores
Salman Khan only one movie in 2016 first week collection – 229 crores!!!!!!!!
By the way both are Sultan of Bollywood. But Salman is bigger. Mohenjo Daro is a failure due to Hrithik’s ego. And it is proved that Akki is bigger crowd puller than Hrithik even Rustom was ahead in opening day itself while Mohenjo Daro appeal to much more larger section of audience with more screen count still failed to do double digit opening day!!!
#True Salman Fans
2350 screens + clash + niche genre + 3rd release of the year = 90C week
one of the best theatre occupancy ?? Haters and indicine ass is burning
It will def cross rowdy as airlift did 45crs business after 1st week so even if we take it as the bare minimum then 90+45=135crs so rustom will cross rowdy m sure..
@Lallu Khan Flop KING, very nice joke. Lallu and flopshay are sultan of bollywood? Only in your dreams. Real sultan of bollywood is only one Man. That is Megastar Aamir Khan. No one can come close to him. He is one man industry.
Hrithik was busy giving flop after flop 5 years ago…and now he is back 2 his roots….koi mil gay and krissh both have good direction with cringy acting so they were hits.. same with dhooom 2 with it being a franchise film…this is true nature of hr
I am only loving u akki baba
I love to see this film again and the song which would make me see the film in cinema is: Tere Sang Yara.. what a lovely song, the melody of this song and the lyrics, plus Atif Aslam’s voice, a perfect song, I think must be nominated for this year, as one of the best songs. Atif Aslam as best singer
