Welcome To The Jungle Crosses Rs 100 Crore Milestone, But Second Weekend Signals A Cooling Trend

Akshay Kumar’s “Welcome To The Jungle” has officially crossed the Rs 100 crore mark, but its second weekend numbers suggest the initial momentum is starting to slow down. The film added Rs 20.50 crore during its second weekend, with a healthy Sunday jump to Rs 9.25 crore — up nearly 25-30% from Saturday. That takes the 10-day total to approximately Rs 113 crore nett.

While the first five days showed strong momentum, the film hit a noticeable dip from the second Wednesday onward. For comparison, the film’s opening Monday was nearly 30% higher than Ahmed Khan’s earlier hit “Bhooth Bangla,” but by Thursday it had fallen behind — and its second weekend ended up almost 30% short of that film’s corresponding numbers. This makes matching Bhooth Bangla’s eventual Rs 170 crore lifetime run a tough ask; trade trackers now peg “Welcome To The Jungle” for a more realistic Rs 150 crore nett finish.

That said, calling this anything less than a success would be unfair. With relatively reasonable production costs — nowhere near the scale of a film like “Housefull 5” — the movie is on track for a “HIT” verdict, even if it’s cutting it closer than expected. The only real disappointment lies in brand comparison: the original “Welcome” was among the biggest grossers of its era, so this installment’s more modest final numbers feel a touch underwhelming against that legacy.

This mixed but respectable run reflects a pattern seen across Bollywood’s evolving box office trends, where lower production budgets are increasingly key to securing profitable outcomes even without blockbuster-level grosses.
