Over 59 days, the Indian government systematically flew over 488 Air India commercial flights into a war zone to evacuate all 170,000 Indians and safely bring them back home. From Amman, 170,000 Indians were brought home by the largest and the most successful evacuation ever attempted by any country, in the history of the world. A story of how they, with the help of Ranjit Katyal, managed to survive the Iraqi invasion, and against all odds traveled a thousand kilometers across the border into Amman, Jordan. Airlift is the story of Indians stranded in Kuwait during this traumatic time. Ranjit unknowingly becomes the man who all 170,000 Indians look up to for getting them out safely from Kuwait. Synopsis: It is in this scenario that Ranjit Katyal (played by Akshay Kumar), a wealthy and powerful Indian businessman, who has always seen himself as a Kuwaiti, rather than an Indian, realizes that he no longer wields any influence on the Iraqis, and that he and his family are in as much danger as anyone else. Its total stands at $6,551,448.Cast: Akshay Kumar, Nimrat Kaur, Kumud Mishra Bajirao Mastani closed out its seventh weekend with $6,966 from six theaters ($1,161 average). Wazir added another $7,513 from 11 theaters ($683 average) to bring its four-week total to $1,109,233. Those figures may be on the low side since Rentrak didn’t report separate second-weekend earnings from Canada. Sonam Kapoor fans are going to buy a ticket no matter what, so there’s no need to cater to them.Īs for other Hindi movies still showing in North America, Airlift won the weekend, adding another $482,307 from 101 theaters ($4,775 average) to bring its two-week total to $1,534,443. The poster is geared toward people who haven’t already heard of the film, hoping to entice them to buy a theater ticket or add the movie to their Netflix queue.
The text at the top reads “Fear gave her courage,” so we know that she must be the hero. It’s clearly a hijacking thriller set on a plane, and the woman with the gun pointed at her is dressed as a flight attendant. Book corner tampa bay, Welsh triathlon commonwealth team, Zebrahead falling apart. In contrast, check out the poster for Neerja. Hindi films songs a to z, Live a live music, Ride for the arts routes. As it stands, the poster only appeals to people who are already Madhavan fans. Madhavan squaring off with Ritika Singh on the poster. Why not follow the route of festivals films and release it internationally with an evocative English title - Fighting Spirit or something like that - and then have R. These flaws do hurt Airlift, but it still remains a deeply humane film. There’s nothing on the poster to indicate that it’s about boxing, and the title isn’t informative even if you know Hindi. The major of Iraqi Republican Army, Khalaf Bin Zayd (Inaamulhaq), Airlift ’s antagonist, doesn’t sound or look like Iraqi, and his unconvincing performance frequently diminishes the film’s impact. Sports movies are among the most easily accessible across cultures thanks to their formulaic nature and the fact that people everywhere share a love for sport, so why not adapt the advertising in the hopes of nabbing people outside of the usual target audience? There’s possibly another lesson to be learned from Saala Khadoos. There is no demographic here yearning for sex comedies with no sex, especially not when there are racier Hollywood alternatives in theaters and a world of raunchy stuff available to anyone with an internet connection. The lesson to be learned here is: don’t open Hindi sex comedies in North America. For a look into Mastizaade‘s bleak future, note that KKHH3 took in just $913 from eight theaters in its second weekend ($114 average), bringing its total to $31,444. Its average is even worse than Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3‘s first-weekend average of $716. It performed so poorly that, as of Tuesday, my local theater had cut back from four showings per day to just one. It earned just $28,529 from 46 theaters for a per-screen average of $620.
The weekend’s other new release - Mastizaade - got trounced. Things look rosier when factoring in collections from the Tamil version of the film, Irudhi Suttru: $83,994 from 35 theaters ($2,399 average). Those figures are slightly lower than those reported by Box Office Mojo - $76,931 from 70 theaters $1,099 average. According to Rentrak data supplied to Bollywood Hungama, Saala Khadoos earned $62,920 from 58 theaters ($1,085 average). Let’s look first at the better of the two new releases. January 29-31, 2016, was an awful weekend for new Bollywood movies in North America.
