The laughter isn’t slowing down at the ticket window. Welcome To The Jungle, headlined by Akshay Kumar and backed by one of the biggest ensemble casts seen in Bollywood, has continued its impressive run at the box office. After enjoying a strong opening week, the comedy entertainer has comfortably crossed the ₹100 crore mark in India and is now inching towards another significant milestone.
According to the latest trade estimates, the film has collected around ₹119.34 crore (India net) by Day 12, while its worldwide gross has crossed ₹170 crore. These numbers underline the film’s steady performance despite facing fresh competition at the box office.
Strong Hold After Opening Week
Many big-budget entertainers witness a sharp drop after the opening weekend, but Welcome To The Jungle has managed to hold reasonably well during weekdays. Although collections naturally slowed after the first week, the film has maintained enough momentum to remain among the top-performing Hindi releases of the year.
The second weekend proved particularly important as family audiences continued to turn up in good numbers. The film’s clean comedy, nostalgic franchise value and star-packed cast have helped it attract viewers across metros as well as smaller centres. Trade experts believe this consistent footfall has been the biggest contributor to its healthy box office run.
Akshay Kumar Scores Another Commercial Success
For Akshay Kumar, the film marks an encouraging return to the comedy space that established him as one of Bollywood’s most dependable entertainers. His chemistry with co-stars, comic timing and the franchise’s familiar brand of humour have resonated with audiences looking for a light-hearted theatrical experience.
The supporting cast has also received appreciation for adding freshness to the narrative. Instead of relying solely on nostalgia, the makers have attempted to introduce new characters while retaining the chaotic humour that made the Welcome franchise popular.
Competition Begins To Impact Collections
Despite its successful run, Welcome To The Jungle is now entering a more competitive phase. The arrival of new releases has reduced screen count in several markets, resulting in a gradual decline in weekday collections. However, the film has already built a comfortable cushion thanks to its strong opening week.
Trade analysts expect collections to remain steady over the next few days, especially in family-dominated circuits where comedy films generally enjoy a longer theatrical lifespan.
Worldwide Performance Remains Impressive
Beyond India, the film has also delivered encouraging numbers overseas. Strong performances in key international markets have pushed the worldwide gross beyond ₹170 crore, reinforcing the franchise’s global popularity among Hindi cinema audiences. While international collections may slow in the coming weeks, the film has already emerged as a commercially successful theatrical release.
Can It Reach ₹150 Crore in India?
The next major milestone for the comedy entertainer is the ₹150 crore India net mark. Achieving that figure will depend largely on how well it sustains collections during its third week. If weekend growth remains healthy and competition doesn’t intensify further, the film has a realistic opportunity to move closer to that benchmark.
Regardless of where its final lifetime collection settles, Welcome To The Jungle has already established itself as one of the stronger commercial performers of 2026. The film has benefited from positive family word-of-mouth, franchise nostalgia and the appeal of seeing several popular Bollywood stars together on the big screen.
