Akshay kumar Box Office Journey 2013

Film: Special 26

A cracker of a film, Special 26 is one of the best thrillers made in recent times. Akshay did score a point for attempting such a roll, taking break from those slapsticks comedy films! The exhilarating heist drama, based on real events, is a wild operation that injects intoxicating humor into extremely tensed situations with downright ease. The audience did responded positively and its BO success.

That gave them a share around 46C from Indian theatricals.
