Akshay Kumar’s comedy comeback just wrapped its opening week, and the numbers tell a story of strong momentum meeting a rocky final stretch. **Welcome To The Jungle** closed Day 7 at Rs. 5 crore, bringing its total first-week haul to **Rs. 92 crore nett** in India.

## Welcome To The Jungle: The Numbers Don’t Lie

The film opened big and stayed strong through the weekend, but collections began cooling off from Monday onward — a fairly typical pattern for big ensemble comedies once the opening rush settles.

| Day | Collection (Nett) |
| --- | --- |
| Previews | Rs. 3.75 cr |
| Friday | Rs. 15.25 cr |
| Saturday | Rs. 20.50 cr |
| Sunday | Rs. 24.25 cr |
| Monday | Rs. 8.25 cr |
| Tuesday | Rs. 9.00 cr |
| Wednesday | Rs. 6.00 cr |
| Thursday | Rs. 5.00 cr (est.) |
| **Total** | **Rs. 92.00 cr** |

## Why the Slowdown Matters

Thursday’s Rs. 5 crore marks a 15% drop from Wednesday, and trade watchers point to mixed word-of-mouth as the likely culprit. The film is currently trailing Bhooth Bangla’s Thursday numbers — Akshay Kumar’s own earlier 2026 release — though it stayed ahead of that film for most of the rest of the week.

Based on current trends, Welcome To The Jungle is expected to cross the Rs. 100 crore mark sometime in its second weekend, officially making it a commercial success. Whether it earns a full “Hit” tag, though, depends on how well it stabilizes over the next few days.

## What Comes Next

The bigger test arrives soon: Welcome To The Jungle will share screen space with Alia Bhatt and Sharvari’s **Alpha**, releasing right as the second weekend kicks in. You can track how that clash is shaping up in our detailed [Alpha advance booking coverage](https://technosports.co.in/alphas-advance-bookings-are-quietly/) on TechnoSports.

Beyond that, the film’s real fate hinges on its third-week face-off with Ajay Devgn’s Dhamaal 4 — a clash trade insiders believe will ultimately decide its final lifetime tally.
