‘Just holding this flag swells up your chest in pride’ Akshay Kumar

During times of negativity and the so-called ‘intolerance’ debate, Akshay Kumar comes up with a film that couldn’t have been timed better. ‘Airlift’ is a film that makes you feel proud of a country like India.

As India celebrated its 67th Republic Day, Akshay tweeted a picture holding the national flag and tweeted “Just holding this flag swells up ur chest in pride. She did what no other country did for its people #HappyRepublicDay”

The superstar’s latest release ‘Airlift’ has collected Rs 72.5 crore at the box office and recorded its best collections of Republic Day.

  • Congrats Akshay & Akkians for the huge success of AIRLIFT….
    The film is really great n awesome.. Watched it 2 times..

    (From a SRK fan)

  • Apart from being a fantastic Actor and a Great Human Being this man is Indian in every sense . He is daring enough to do movies which are based on Patriotism, Terrorism and Corruption . He is also investing his money in such kind of movies . This tweet is so positive and uplifts your mood . We are always ready to criticize India but Airlift once again makes us feel proud in being an Indian . I am Glad that Akshay and Raja Krishna Menon told this story in a way that has a strong impact on the audience . Be it movies, interviews and dialogues this man is complete Indian .

  • this man is just pretending about patriotism. he thinks just speaking good about india will raise him to the level of Khans. Airlift movie has got good reviews now we will see if it can surpass even the record of ghajini. akshay is just a c grade actor.

  • Planning to watch airlift for the 3rd time.
    This man is a true Indian.
    My lbo for airlift is 155cr.
    Waiting for Housefull 3
    My lbo for it is 175cr
    Also waiting for rustom
    My lbo for it is 110cr.
    Go akki go ….
    Love you.

  • I can’t describe my feelings about India and Indian flag when the scene come in movie when the Indian flag rise on Indian embassy. The scene was such a brilliantly made, when your emotions are all time high. After leaving the theatre the only feeling that comes to your mind,heart & soul is “Proud to be an Indian and blessed to live in this great country”. Couldn’t expect more from a movie which deals on patriotism with real story as backdrop. Akshay did what which Khans are not able to do for many in this so called intolerance debate. Hats off to him and Airlift team.

    Our National flag & National anthem is our pride.Always gives goosebumps & feeling of pride.

  • ? ßingoo Akshay kumar.
    BTW @Babaji Ka thullu where iz ur review of airlift? ? U haven’t watched it or didn’t liked it ?? Reply if u r reading .

  • Love and respect to Akki. May you keep on inspiring people like me with your work. I too love my country more than anything else.
    From an Aamir and HR fan.

  • Watched it 2 times,on the first day and yesterday too but could’nt post my review here..

    One of Akki’s best performance undoubtedly.
    Though the 1st half is slow and I believe it’s not a perfect film but still it’s a must watch in a theatre.People are loving it,they are cheering when the flag is hoisted at the airport..
    Personally I loved Special 26 and Baby more than it but it does’nt mean that Airlift was a bad film.

    My rating 3.5/5

  • i love my country more than akshay kumar,i 100000 times speak vande mataram before seen akshays first movie khakee at the age 12.
    now feeling proud that i am the fan of best patriotic actor who did one filim for nation in each year.

    americns lve usa..

    Proud 2 b a human being..proud 2 a part of tis world

  • Indicine you are ignoring the potential of Saala Khadoos from the beginning I think,it’s a multiplex film and if it gets good reviews it could create problems for Airlift in the 2nd week.Also producer is Hirani.

  • @Maria: Why don’t you shift to Pakistan,they will wholeheartedly welcome you!

    Kashmir is a peaceful state in India now yet pro-seperatists people like Maria have problem with that.

  • @Maria: still we are helping you everywhere for better life many of the Kashmiris now became IPS,IAS officers still you guys voting in each and every election, your cricket team playing all indian domestic cricket some guys playing IPL as well, what you want more?? during operation some innocent guy also killed its happen everywhere it doesn’t mean you hate the nation.

  • Now waiting for Rustam which is also from Niraj Panday.

    We want Akshay to do only this kind of movie.

    We also want Akshay to work with Ajay Devgan again as they did before many years in Sugag.
    We also want him to work with his old but gold team Sunil Shetty and Paresh rawal

  • 60 crore actor finally got a 100 cr grosser.
    Playing with people’s emotions and patriotism to push your own career.
    Indian patriots saved Airlift from becoming another 60 cr film.
    Dont worry, you will be back to 60 cr with your next film. Lol

  • What is wrong when he says he loves India ? Just because Aamir and Srk don’t want to say that and label India as intolerant, he also has freedom of speech…Even if he is doing for publicity, does not matter as this is very positive…I can very well say even aamir and srk had vested interests when they did not choose india…did salman or saif say something like that ? No right ? I guess srk is always known for cheap publicity – this time it backfired in india…for aamir he has done such things in past like narmada andolan …he will get involved in things which he has half knowledge…people of Gujarat showed him his place by not releasing his movie in 1 screen also…now its time to show him his place at national level…it is Indians who made him a huge star…they can not go and see his films..

  • @ all akshay haters, reading your comments i cannot stop laughing, before airlift released you all mentioned that it will be another 70 crore for akshay, however, that mark has been passed in only 5 days. Hindi muhawra yaad aa gaya, KHISYANI BILLI KHAMBA NOCHE

  • Mr. Akshay id you want to do all these show offs then understand that we Indians are not fools. You try to portray yourself like a saint but in reality you are just different. Why have you become a citizen of another country which you are not even living there? Why need to be Canada’s citizen if you really like India and feel pride? This shows that you are a fake. And his illiterate followers claim him as true Indian. LOL. Shame on such hypocrites.
