Airlift box office: Akshay Kumar proudly marches into 100 crore club with fourth film

Akshay Kumar is currently basking in the glory of his recent blockbuster Airlift. The war thriller is breaking all records at the box office with its collections. While the Khans have time and again delivered films that made it 100 crore club, the Khiladi of Bollywood has yet again proved that he is not going to stay behind. Airlift is Akshay Kumar’s fifth consecutive hit and fourth film of the actor to make into the 100 crore club. (ALSO READ: Airlift movie review: Akshay Kumar delivers yet another superlative performance!)

Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh posted on his Twitter profile, “#Airlift will be Akshay Kumar’s 4th film to cross ₹ 100 cr, after #Housefull2 [2012], #RowdyRathore [2012] and #Holiday [2014]. India biz.”

Airlift is based on the evacuation of Kuwait based Indians during the Iraq-Kuwait war in the 90’s. The movie continues to be moviegoers’ first choice even in the third week says Taran Adarsh. His tweet reads, “#Airlift is all set to cross 100 cr. Remains the first choice of moviegoers. [Week 2] Fri 4.50 cr, Sat 6.50 cr. Total:  94.50 cr.” Positive word-of-mouth has worked in favor of the film right from the first week.

Raja Krishna Menon’s directorial venture, made on a budget of 40 crore, has surpassed profit margins of the producers in a short span of time. Akshay is one actor who has always maintained low profile in the industry and has yet delivered impressive projects. The Action King of B-town has set up a league of his own and has a massive fan following too. He is a versatile actor and has given hits in comedy, drama and romance genres as well.
