AIRIFT had a good second week in the main cities as it grossed 26 crore nett but collections in places like CP Berar, CI, Bihar and Rajasthan had noticeable drops. The drop week on week is 67% which is good. The total after two weeks is close to 106 crore nett.

The first week was a record for an Akshay Kumar starrer but the second week figures are less than films like ROWDY RATHORE, HOUSEFULL 2 and HOLIDAY which all went over 30 crore nett. This is because those films held well all over while AIRIFT hold is mainly in the big 25-30 cities. This is enough for the film, the problem would have been if it was just the 4-5 metros.

The film is already a record grosser for Akshay Kumar in east Punjab, West Bengal and Mysore and has chances to to be number one in Delhi / UP also as it is 2.50 crore nett short of ROWDY RATHORE and has chances to make that up in the next two weeks or so.

AIRLIFT had excellent growth of 60% on its second Saturday. There were some centres which even doubled the collections of Friday. The nine day total for the film is 89.50 crore nett.  The first two day business of the second week is as follows.
Friday - 3,75,00,000
Saturday - 6,00,00,000
TOTAL - 9,75,00,000
--------------------
AIRLIFT had a good second weekend as it grossed 17.50 crore nett. The film continued with very strong business in Delhi NCR and East Punjab but places like CP Berar, CI and Bihar have not really taken to the film and had low collections. The total collections in ten days are 97 crore nett. The second weekend daily business is as follows.
Friday - 3,75,00,000
Saturday - 6,00,00,000
Sunday - 7,75,00,000
TOTAL - 17,50,00,000

The film is a SUPER HIT and will record record figures for an Akshay Kumar film in 3-4 circuits. In some circuits it will hardly touch the business of a big flop like BROTHERS but lower costs compared to most other Akshay Kumar starrers in the recent past means it does not have to perform across the board and good business from the main cities is more than enough.
--------------------
AIRLIFT grossed 2 crore nett on its second Monday and has dropped compared to the weekend business mainly because its a city film and its collections have seen drops on the working days. The four day second week business is as follows.
Friday - 3,75,00,000
Saturday - 6,00,00,000
Sunday - 7,75,00,000
Monday - 2,00,00,000
TOTAL - 19,50,00,000

The second weekend business will be around 26.50 crore nett which will take the film to over 106 crore nett in two weeks.

AIRLIFT grossed 3.50-3.75 crore nett on its eighth day. The film grossed 30-40 lakhs nett more than the main new release MASTIZAADE as it performed much better in the city multiplexes across India. The collections were better than MASTIZAADE in Mumbai, Delhi/UP, East Punjab, West Bengal and Mysore.

The drops are coming in mass circuits which have not taken to the film much. In Bihar it was just 7.5 lakhs on the eighth day. Still the good business in multiplexes is more than enough for the film and it is a rare hit film for January.

The growth should be huge on Saturday as MASTIZAADE has failed at the box office and the places where AIRLIFT is strong tend to register huge Saturday growth.
