The box office journey of Welcome to the Jungle continues to show resilience as the comedy entertainer entered its second week with steady earnings. Despite facing fresh competition from newly released titles, the film remains on course to achieve a significant milestone at the domestic box office.
According to early trade estimates, Welcome to the Jungle collected approximately ₹4.50 crore net in India on Day 8, taking its total domestic net collection to around ₹97.65 crore. With only a small gap remaining, the film is expected to cross the coveted ₹100 crore mark in the coming days.
The latest figures highlight the film’s ability to retain audience interest even after the conclusion of its opening week. Family audiences and fans of ensemble comedies appear to be contributing to the film’s continued theatrical performance.
Strong First Week Sets the Foundation
The Akshay Kumar-led entertainer enjoyed a robust opening week, building momentum through both weekend and weekday collections.
After generating approximately ₹63.75 crore during its opening weekend, the film maintained a respectable pace throughout the week. Monday collections stood at around ₹8.50 crore, followed by an increase to ₹9.25 crore on Tuesday. Earnings then settled at approximately ₹6.15 crore on Wednesday and ₹5.50 crore on Thursday.
By the end of its first week, the movie had accumulated roughly ₹93.51 crore net in India, placing it within touching distance of the ₹100 crore benchmark.

Worldwide Performance Remains Healthy
Beyond the domestic market, Welcome to the Jungle has also delivered notable results internationally.
The film’s India gross collection has reached approximately ₹116.27 crore, while overseas markets have contributed an estimated ₹27.45 crore gross. With an additional ₹1 crore coming from international territories on Day 8, the film’s worldwide gross total now stands at around ₹143.72 crore.
These figures reinforce the franchise’s appeal among audiences in multiple regions and underline the commercial strength of large-scale comedy entertainers.
Franchise Value Continues to Drive Audience Interest
Directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Firoz Nadiadwala, Welcome to the Jungle serves as the latest chapter in the long-running Welcome franchise.
The film features an extensive ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Raveena Tandon, Disha Patani, and several other familiar faces from the Hindi film industry.
Its mix of slapstick comedy, mistaken identities, and large-scale chaos has helped it attract viewers seeking a light-hearted theatrical experience.
Story Premise
The film follows an eccentric billionaire who orchestrates a lavish fake movie production deep inside a jungle as part of a hidden agenda. What begins as an elaborate setup soon spirals out of control when the participants are mistaken for a real military unit during an active terrorist operation.
The resulting confusion creates a series of comic situations, misunderstandings, and action-packed moments that form the backbone of the film’s entertainment value.
Box Office Outlook
With nearly ₹98 crore already collected in India and weekend footfalls expected to provide additional support, Welcome to the Jungle appears well positioned to join the ₹100 crore club shortly.
Industry observers will now be watching whether the film can sustain momentum through its second weekend and extend its run beyond the milestone. A strong hold over the coming days could further strengthen its standing among the year’s successful Hindi releases.
