AIRLIFT continued its good run on Wednesday as it grossed around 5.75 crore nett. Although it is a big drop from the previous day which was a big national day but this can always happen with a film having a huge ratio of business from multiplexes. The film had weekday ticket rates at multiplexes for the first time after five days so its likely to tell in collections especially for a multiplex film. The drop is still less than 50% from day one despite it being a Wednesday so the total is still very good.

The film has now grossed around 75 crore nett in six days will finish the week with an excellent 80 crore nett plus total.

The film will face competition from MASTIZAADE on Friday which could take an opening but if the film does not have what its audiences is expecting from it, the collections will fall fast and that will leave Airlift as main film again over the weekend
-------------------
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.
