Airlift had a strong first week of around 79.75 crore nett as the weekdays contributed a huge chunk of the business as ticket rates were held at weekend rates on Monday and Tuesday. There was a drop on Wednesday but still collections were at a high level meaning the film goes into week two with strong collections.
The film had a pretty good start on Friday but it was the growth on Saturday which put it on the road of success. The film has recorded the third highest first week collections for Republic Day week behind Jai Ho (83.48 crore) and Agneepath (81.37 crore). Airlift has almost touched the lifetime business of last years Republic Day week release Baby (81.83 crore)
The film will be the highest Akshay Kumar grosser ever in East Punjab, West Bengal and Mysore and maybe Delhi / UP. It has outside chance of being Akshay Kumar's highest all India grosser ever (Rowdy Rathore - 131.21 crore) but even if it somehow gets there the share will be much less as that was a huge success in single screens also.
