The latest release starring Akshay Kumar, Airlift box office collections on opening day were Rs 12.35 crore and these were good enough to catapult the movie into the actor’s top 10 list at the 8th spot. (YouTube)
Airlift which is based on the true story of one of the largest human evacuations in recent history was surrounded by tremendous hype, wowing the critics, the audience and it was a surprise that it ended up as the 8th highest opening day grosser – expectations were that it would climb into the top 5 list.

While Airlift fares better than the actor’s previous releases like Holiday that collected Rs 12.18 cr, and Entertainment that collected Rs 11.57 cr, it fails to surpass the opening day collections of his other films like Singh Is Bliing, Brothers, Rowdy Rathore, Boss and Housefull 2. (YouTube)

So, while Airlift disappointed, the top Akshay Kumar movie remains Singh is Bliing with box office collections of Rs 20.67 cr (it was released on 2-Oct-2015), followed by Brothers at Rs 15.20 cr (released on 14-Aug-20115). (YouTube)

However, with the Republic Day holiday on us and the related patriotic wave sweeping the nation, what’s left to be seen is whether Airlift's overall collections surpass those of the actor’s other previous releases. (YouTube)
