Akshay Kumar’s latest comedy, Welcome To The Jungle, has completed a strong first week at the Indian box office. The film has collected ₹89.67 crore nett in India during its first seven days and is now close to entering the ₹100 crore club. As the third film in the popular Welcome franchise, the movie has attracted audiences with its comedy, large cast, and family friendly entertainment.
The film began its theatrical run with paid previews on Thursday, collecting ₹4.07 crore. It then witnessed steady growth over the weekend, with collections increasing each day. The highest single day collection during the first week came on Sunday, when the film earned ₹25.41 crore. Like most theatrical releases, the collections slowed during the weekdays, but the film continued to bring audiences to cinemas. On Wednesday, it added another ₹6.07 crore to its total despite the expected midweek drop.
With a first week collection of ₹89.67 crore nett, Welcome To The Jungle has maintained a solid pace at the domestic box office. The film has also performed well overseas, taking its worldwide gross collection to more than ₹120 crore. These numbers have helped the comedy become one of the notable Hindi releases of the year.
Directed by Ahmed Khan, Welcome To The Jungle brings together one of the biggest ensemble casts seen in a Bollywood comedy. The film features more than 30 actors, including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Jacqueline Fernandez, and several other familiar faces. The large cast and the franchise’s popularity have played an important role in attracting audiences across different age groups.
The movie continues the comedy style that made the earlier Welcome films successful. With slapstick humour, misunderstandings, and entertaining performances, the film has managed to appeal to families looking for lighthearted entertainment in theatres.
Looking ahead, the film will soon face fresh competition from upcoming releases, including Alia Bhatt’s Alpha. The arrival of new films could affect its box office collections in the coming days. Even so, Welcome To The Jungle is expected to cross the ₹100 crore nett mark in India if it continues its current run over the weekend.
After a successful first week in theatres, the film has established a strong position at the box office. All eyes are now on whether it can maintain its momentum and continue adding to its collections as new releases enter cinemas.
