Akshay Kumar’s Patriotic Box Office Journey: A Cumulative Collection of Over 1120 Crores from Holiday to Sooryavanshi, Embodied as the National Hero!
Akshay Kumar is back on the big screen as a national hero, his forte. Mission Raniganj has received positive word-of-mouth, and the actor is likely to see a growth in box office numbers. While the film’s current performance is low, it promises to improve due to good reviews. Kumar has a proven track record of success playing national heroes.
Akshay Kumar, who made his Bollywood debut as an action hero, earning the moniker “Khiladi Kumar,” transitioned to comedy in 2000 with Priyadarshan’s Hera Pheri. This was followed by a string of successful comedy films, including Garam Masala, Bhaagam Bhaag, Phir Hera Pheri, and Welcome.
Akshay Kumar hit the jackpot at the Box Office when he got his role as a country hero or patriot. His earlier portrayal as a National Hero came in 2004 when he embarked with the film called “Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo”. Just after a decade later, he seemed to gain a resounding impact with “Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty” in 2014, essaying the role of an Army Officer in the film.
After starring in Pad Man, Akshay Kumar has become a national hero, both on and off the screen. He has played a variety of roles, including police officers and men who turn into national heroes. His film Holiday was a box office hit, and he has since continued to make patriotic films.
In 2015, Akshay Kumar firmly declared his patriotism in Neeraj Pandey’s Baby, boldly writing “INDIAN” in capital letters in the religion column. He reprised his role in Tapsee Pannu’s Naam Shabana, and with Baby, his commitment to patriotic films was set.
After Baby, Akshay Kumar starred in Airlift, where he played a businessman in Kuwait who turned into a national hero overnight by helping his fellow Indians evacuate during the Iraqi invasion. With Airlift, Kumar completed a patriotic hat-trick and cemented his status as a national hero at the box office.
