Akshay Kumar At The Box Office (Post-Covid): 13 Releases Yet 140 Crores+ Away From Joining Shah Rukh Khan & 6 Others In This Feat!
Despite the release of Sky Force, Akshay Kumar still hasn’t managed to reach the post-Covid milestone achieved by Shah Rukh Khan and others! Here’s the latest on box office performance.
Akshay Kumar can finally take a breath of relief as his Republic Day release, Sky Force, is performing well at the Indian box office. It’s been a while since the superstar has had a hit. With 12 releases in the post-Covid era, he has yet to hit the 1000 crore mark. Read on for a comprehensive box office analysis.
Akshay was on a winning streak until 2019. His films – Good Newwz, Housefull 4, Mission Mangal, and Kesari – were all hits that year. However, everything changed in 2021 when the downturn began. The COVID-19 pandemic led to fewer Bollywood releases. Bell Bottom was anticipated to bring audiences back to theaters but ended up being a disappointment due to its lackluster content. This was followed by Sooryavanshi, which also performed only moderately.
A challenging post-pandemic period
In total, Akshay Kumar has released 12 films since the pandemic began, but only one has been a hit so far – OMG 2. Sky Force marks his 13th film. It has exceeded expectations thus far, but its success now hinges on maintaining momentum in its opening week.
Here’s a look at the total box office collections for Akshay Kumar in the post-COVID era so far:
Khel Khel Mein – 40.32 crores
Sarfira – 24.30 crores
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan – 66 crores
Mission Raniganj – 31 crores
OMG 2 – 150 crores
Selfiee – .
New version:
Ram Setu – 64 crores
Raksha Bandhan – 44.37 crores
Samrat Prithviraj – 68 crores
Bachchhan Paandey – 50.25 crores
Sooryavanshi – 195.04 crores
Bell Bottom – 26.50 crores
Total – 776.28 crores
The 1000 crore milestone is still a distant goal!
Sky Force has garnered box office collections of 81.30 crores in just 4 days. With a reported budget exceeding 150 crores, it has a long way to go to be considered a success. Upcoming releases like Deva, Chaava, and Badass Ravikumar could potentially overshadow it.
After adding 81.30 crores from his 13th release, Sky Force, Akshay Kumar still requires 142.42 crores more to reach the 1000 crore milestone in the post-pandemic landscape.
His next theatrical release is the biopic Shankara, directed by Sankaran Nair. Additionally, Jolly LLB is set to release tentatively in April, while Housefull 5 is scheduled for June 6, 2025. There are high expectations for the comedy film, and it is hoped that it will generate significant revenue to help the superstar achieve this remarkable milestone.
Previously, Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Prabhas, Jr NTR, Allu Arjun, and Amitabh Bachchan have all reached this benchmark.
