Airlift has collected Rs 19.26 crore in its second weekend at the box office. It has crossed the 100 crore mark, becoming only the 4th hundred crore Akshay Kumar film after Rowdy Rathore, Housefull 2 and Holiday: A Solider Is Never Off Duty.
The second weekend of Airlift was better than this week’s release Mastizaade. The film will continue to be the first choice for the multiplex audience this week. Sunny Deol’s Ghayal Once Again releases this weekend and that film is unlikely to affect the business of Airlift at high-end multiplexes.

A lot of people have asked if Airlift can go on to be Akshay’s highest grosser to date. At the end of 10 days (i.e second weekend), Housefull 2 had collected 84.3 crore and the second weekend of the film was quite similar to Airlift. Rowdy Rathore had collected exactly 100 crore at the end of its 2nd weekend, Airlift is ahead by a couple of crores, but Rowdy had better trends and had collected Rs 10.5 crore on its second Sunday. Holiday had collected Rs 86.73 crore in 10 days.
In short, Airlift is ahead of all other Akshay Kumar films at the end of the second weekend.
As for collections ‘after’ the second weekend, Rowdy Rathore collected Rs 34 crore, Housefull 2 collected Rs 31.7 crore and Holiday collected Rs 26.27 crore. Airlift needs to collect as much as Housefull 2 did after its second weekend to surpass the business of Rowdy Rathore.

@indicine what is the budget of Airlift including akshay’s fees?
Good u deserve it .,after the jaiho nd dilwale salman and srk fan criying now ..but fan can easily collect 200 crore
It will definitely cross Rowdy while housefull3 with good music and promos can score a 26cr opening day
It will settle between 123-125
Nice article, makes clear lots of things :)
Rowdy Rathore dominated single screens for weeks also it did well at multiplexes..
That is why it trended so well…
On the other hand multiplexes are supporting Airlift the way ss supported Rowdy Rathore ….
Still great collections..!!!
Lifetime collection is 125 crore confirm
A Niche Film Crosses 100 cr in 10 Days. Take a bow Akshay kumar. If there Would hve been other actor apart from khans then 100 cr would hve ßeen impossible. AKSHAY Has Created Faith in Audience ßy Doing movies on Patriotism.¡
Lifetime will be 120-125cr.
It will not cross Lifetime collection of Rowdy Rathore due to back 2 back many releases every weeks & loss of Screens.
BTW Airlift is much much better than Rowdy Rathore,Housefull 2 & little higher than Holiday.
Its a superhit! It will not cross rowdy rathore’s total but will definately do 125-130cr making it the most successful film ever in this genre. It is a revolutionary film! It will give gud chance to films like Fan,Rustom to do good business at the boxoffice. I m very happy for India :)
Airlift will add another 28 cr to its business , thus taking its lifetime to 130 crs .
Verdict : Hit/Superhit
Lifetime 140 Cr plus for sure now.
BLOCKBUSTER
Grt . hope akshay treated us with this kind of movies in near future also
Akshay isn’t even able to cross his own movie Rowdy Rathore, lol forgot about other stars
A great film with a great collection a must watch. Film for every indian
definitely no offense but the collection are more bcoz in its lifetime different films doesn’t lift upto expectation and became flop
AIRLIFT BEST OF AKKI FILMS
Many Ppl R Trying 2 Act Smart by commenting tht Despite having extraordinary WOM it will fail to do 150 cr .
First Off all Its WOM is not extraordinary because it doesn’t hve commercial value. When a film is not been liked by single screen audience then how can The WOM Can Be extraordinary? ?
Even female, family audience nd some youth hasn’t much liked it because of slow pace nd no commercial value . Just because it got rave reviews doesn’t mean audience WOM will also be positive. It has patriotic touch nd D flag of India shown in a good way tht is y even who didn’t liked much r calling it good .
It’s WOM Is MIXED . Masses, female audience nd Some youth r not liking it. Only urban city audience is liking it more . I don’t think then u can call it had Positive WOM .
So despite mixed WOM Nd niche genre it did 100cr ? POWER OF AKSHAY KUMAR
Even universally acclaimed Akki movie don’t able to cross 135cr
This is proved Akshay is just a small star even Kangna universally acclaimed movie cross 150cr
Airlift 1st Week 2600 Screens, Please Correct it.
This sunny chuchi is crossing height of dumbness with every passing comment
@sunny, what are you talking..??? barring a very few……whoever I have interacted have only good things to say about the movie…….only kids didn’t like the movie…..while majority of the adults had good to very good view of the movie.
Plz update bajirao mastani collection. According 2 boi it has scored 1.5cr post 5th week. I think lifetime has touched 190cr
Thats a better comparison coz akki csnt be compared to anyone else as he himself has his unique way of working..most bankable superstar as he always gives good openings and i may get some stupid replies from haters but Akki is Akki man…the Invincible.
Trust me it is just an OVER RATED boring movie
Heard news that akshay doing kaththi remake. I mean why???Akshay shud work on real scripts. Doing remake again. Shit akshay.
Good going… Hf3 will benefit and will cross 150 for sure…
Akki has been a strict follower of odd even rule as hd is from delhi…he has been giving 100 cr movies in ’12 then’14 and now ’16 but from now on he will break this trend by havin a good ’17 as well…akki is back tough tyms ahead for the haters..
Sunny chuchi aren’t u the same guy who on the day Airlift released suggested akki to not waste his talent on mvz like baby s26 & Airlift…!!!
The film is a huge success and that’s what should make everyone happy..before release,not many would have given it a chance of crossing 100 crore because a clash was also taking place and the film doesn’t hold appeal for universal audience.. In spite of all the permutations and combinations Airlift will end up as the highest grossing January release is a huge victory for everyone associated with the film
If it can cross agneepath depends on how big will ghayal once again open.. Over last few days Sunnys film has generated good buzz and is expected to open decent if not big… That can hurt airlift
@Mitesh budget is very low as Akshay Kumar didn’t charge his fees. He took share in profit and satellite rights.
