AIRLIFT Takes A Very Good Start''Airlift'' is big release of new year 2016. Film had interesting patriotic theme and has Akshay Kumar in lead. But film is facing stiff competition at box office from successful sex comedy franchise ''Kya Kool Hain Hum 3''.
Film released today across 2600 screens in India and 68 screens in Middle East yesterday. Film has opened to 35% opening in India and multiplexes/urban centers are doing better on expected lines. What is heartening is that film has opened to better numbers than ''Baby'' which released last year in same week.
Film has got good to very good reviews and that should help film from evening onwards to weekend. Film will score good number today probably 15% more than opening day number of ''Baby'' and 20% more than ''Kya Kool Hain Hum 3'' but real challenge for the film is to maintain steady numbers which had been problem in past for Akshay Kumar despite decent reviews.
As per early trends, film should cross 10.50 cr nett on opening day and good jump in evening can take it close to 11.75-12 cr nett number which will be a very good result considering clash factor.
