The scenario is totally different in a circuit like Bihar where the film has just about crossed 2 crore nett and the business is even less than Khiladi 786 which did just fair business at the time and was released four years back.
Airlift has grossed 122.78 crore in just under five weeks. The business till date is as follows.
Week One - 79,29,00,000
Week Two - 28,78,00,000
Week Three - 11,33,00,000
Week Four - 2,63,00,000
Week Five - 75,00,000 apprx (5 days)
TOTAL - 1,22,78,00,000
The film is the highest grosser released in Republic Day week but in terms of distributor share it is less than Agneepath and similar to Jai Ho. The film is likely to finish with business in the 123 crore nett range and a share of 58.50 crore.
Airlift has grossed 123.29 crore in 39 days. The business till date is as follows.
Week One - 79,29,00,000
Week Two - 28,78,00,000
Week Three - 11,33,00,000
Week Four - 2,63,00,000
Week Five - 1,01,00,000
Week Six - 25,00,000 (4 days)
TOTAL - 1,23,29,00,000
The way things are it will remain the biggest grosser of the first quarter as no film looks like challenging it. Things should looke better in April with Fan and Baaghi..
Q. Jai Ho is regarded a average performer for Salman Khan while Airlift is the second biggest hit in the career of Akshay Kumar but has it beaten the footfalls of Jai Ho?
Ans. The footfalls are a fair distance behind Jai Ho but Airlift is not the second biggest hit of Akshay Kuma's career but the second biggest grosser. In terms of hits its not even in the top five.
