' Airlift ' crossed the massive 100 crore mark in its second weekend at the domestic front. Akshay Kumar and Nimrat Kaur starrer raked in Rs. 2.53 crores on Monday, making its total collection stand at Rs. 105.29 crores at the domestic markets. This is Akshay Kumar 's fourth 100 crore film. The trade experts claim that the movie is set to remain strong in the coming weekdays as well, giving tough competition to new releases.
' Airlift ' is based on a real life incident that narrates the story of an unsung hero who with his wit and courage managed to rescue more that 1 lakh 70 thousand Indians stranded in a war zone of 'Kuwait'. The movie is brilliantly filmed and the unimaginable situation of the war zone in Kuwait and the ruthless attack by Iraq is captured and projected exceptionally well.
The thriller has been released along with Tusshar Kapoor and Aftab starrer ' Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 ' which did not perform well at the box-office. Also, ' Airlift ' is giving tough competition to the latest releases, which are Rajkumar Hirani 's production ' Saala Khadoos ' starring R. Madhavan and National Level Boxer Ritika Singh and, Sunny Leone starrer ' Mastizaade '.
