Within 12 days, Airlift has turned out to be Akshay Kumar’s 3rd Highest Grosser. The film brought in around 2.61 crore on its second Tuesday, and as a result, the collections stand at 107.90 crore.

This is how Akshay Kumar’s biggest films are currently placed:

Airlift – 107.90 crore (still running)
Holiday – 112.65 crore
Housefull 2 – 114 crore
Rowdy Rathore – 131 crore

As things stand today, Holiday and Housefull 2 would be comfortably surpassed before close of third weekend. However, Rowdy Rathore record would stay untouched.

Still, the film would emerge as Akshay Kumar’s second biggest hit by a good distance. This is also no mean feat since it is a niche film, when compared to Rowdy Rathore which was an out and out ‘masala’ affair.

Airlift is a now a Superhit commercially and a superb start for Akshay Kumar this year, what with films as varied as Housefull 3 and Rustom lined up for release in months to follow.
