Some comedies don’t need a spectacular finish — they just need to keep the cash registers ringing, week after week. Akshay Kumar’s “Welcome To The Jungle” is doing exactly that, quietly inching toward a milestone most films only dream of.
The comedy drama collected Rs. 2.75 crore on its second discounted Tuesday, marking a 20% jump over Monday. It’s a decent hold, though trade watchers note the film could’ve seen a bigger spike given the reduced ticket pricing. Even so, the film’s running total now stands at an impressive Rs. 117.75 crore nett in India, putting the Rs. 120 crore mark firmly within reach by the end of its second week.

What’s Next for the Film
With “Dhamaal 4” arriving this weekend, the film’s momentum will be tested, but based on current trends, it’s still on track to comfortably cross Rs. 150 crore. That said, it’s unlikely to beat the lifetime run of Kumar’s earlier release “Bhooth Bangla.”
What makes this run notable is the economics behind it. Made on a modest budget compared to bigger studio productions, the film has already turned profitable — a reminder that the comedy genre remains one of the most reliable bets within Bollywood, where lower-cost, mass-appeal entertainers often outperform bigger-budget misses. Still, given the brand value the “Welcome” franchise carries, some trade voices feel the numbers could’ve been stronger, especially with the original film remembered as one of Hindi cinema’s biggest hits.
