The winning run continues for Akshay Kumar post the pandemic as he just picks up right where he left off in 2019 with Sooryavanshi. It was a huge year for Akshay Kumar in 2019 with Kesari, Mission Mangal, Housefull 4 and Good Newwz and it was just not the huge success of these films but just complete domination in that year (Akshay Kumar Has A Historic Year).

After 2019 and the huge success of these four films the pandemic hit and cinemas remained shut for 18 months. Now in these 18 months films there were many films that were said to have got appreciation or love. Said is the word as they were generally works of PR but the only genuine winner in those dark days was another Akshay Kumar film Laxmmi.

The others got FAKE love and appreciation while this film Laxmmi got a REAL audience as it practically smashed all records on satellite outside the Bahubali films and continues to do well a year after release. So even in bad times the guy delivered a genuine winner. We wont say HIT as it did not release in cinemas but going by the satellite there is a good chance it would have been driven by Central and Western India.

So huge success in 2019 and then somehow a solid winner in the pandemic and now it came down to the same hero to put the Hindi film industry on the map again with Sooryavanshi and he has done that with flying colours. There was an attempt in August with Bell Bottom as well but that was bad timing and even god could have not done anything at that point of time. Here with Sooryavanshi  there is also credit due to the director Rohit Shetty also but without a big star like Akshay Kumar this situation would be near impossible to succeed in as the industry is star dependent.

Sooryavanshi may not do the business of Housefull 4 which is the biggest Akshay Kumar grosser or even a Good Newwz in the final count but its given the industry a new lease of life and that is more important than some benchmarks which will go anyway in time.
