Akshay Kumar’s comedy franchise entry is quietly wrapping up its theatrical run. Welcome To The Jungle continues to add small, steady numbers in its third week, and the film is now closing in on its final total. Here’s the full box office breakdown.

Welcome To The Jungle: Box Office Snapshot

Metric	Figure
3rd Wednesday Collection	Rs. 45 lakh (est.)
Total Collection So Far	Rs. 127.30 crore nett
Expected Final Total	Rs. 130–135 crore nett
Director	Ahmed Khan
Lead Actor	Akshay Kumar

How the Third Week Is Playing Out

Welcome To The Jungle collected Rs. 45 lakh on its third Wednesday, registering only a nominal drop from Monday’s numbers. That brings the third week’s running total to Rs. 6 crore across six days, pushing the film’s overall India collection to Rs. 127.30 crore nett.

With the film now clearly in its final stretch, the third week overall is expected to close around Rs. 6.40–6.50 crore — roughly a 78% drop compared to the previous week’s numbers, a steep but expected decline for a film this far into its theatrical run.

Welcome To The Jungle: Week-by-Week Breakdown

Day	Nett Collection
Week One	Rs. 92.25 cr.
Week Two	Rs. 29.00 cr.
3rd Friday	Rs. 0.85 cr.
3rd Saturday	Rs. 1.60 cr.
3rd Sunday	Rs. 1.85 cr.
3rd Monday	Rs. 0.50 cr.
3rd Tuesday	Rs. 0.75 cr.
3rd Wednesday	Rs. 0.45 cr. (est.)
Total	Rs. 127.30 cr.

Where This Leaves the Franchise

Based on current trends, the film is expected to finish its run somewhere between Rs. 130 crore and Rs. 135 crore nett — a total that falls short of both Bhooth Bangla and Housefull 5‘s lifetime numbers. It’s also a noticeably softer outcome given the brand’s history: the original Welcome was among the biggest grossers of its era, and even its 2015 sequel, without Akshay Kumar in the lead, opened strongly and posted solid final numbers.

That said, the film isn’t a flop by any measure. Its relatively modest production cost compared to a big-brand title works in its favor, meaning it’s likely to be classified as a success rather than a clean Hit. Had the budget matched something closer to Housefull 5‘s scale, this outcome would have been far tougher to spin positively.

The Bigger Picture

While the low costs help the film land on the right side of profitability, the actual grosses remain a bit underwhelming given the brand’s legacy and Akshay Kumar’s track record. It’s a reminder that franchise nostalgia alone doesn’t guarantee blockbuster numbers in today’s box office climate.
