In this box office analysis we take a look at the Opening Week collections of Airlift while comparing them to Akshay Kumar’s previous releases. Airlift, which opened to rave reviews from the critics, had the audience too praising it for its dramatic yet entertaining show – the film is based on one of the biggest evacuation stories in recent times in which an Indian man in Kuwait, an unsung hero, played a stellar role. For the record, the Ministry of External Affairs has said that the film is quite dramatic, but ‘rather short on facts.’ (Courtesy: YouTube)
Left behind in the list by Airlift box office collections are Akshay Kumar’s previous releases like the top hit Rowdy Rathore that collected Rs 79.52 cr, Singh Is Bliing that collected Rs 77.6 crore, and Brothers that collected Rs 72.6 crore. (Courtesy: YouTube) -
In fact, Airlift, which released ahead of the Republic Day holiday, has also pushed back other Akshay Kumar releases that featured a similar patriotic theme, for example, Holiday that collected Rs 68.65 cr, Gabbar with Rs 59.86 cr, and Special 26 with Rs 44 cr. (Courtesy: YouTube)
