HyderabadUpdated: Jul 4, 2026 12:51 PM IST Welcome To The Jungle, the third film in the Welcome franchise, has slowed down in its second week but continues to add steadily to its total, keeping the Rs 100 crore net mark in India within touching distance. According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the Akshay Kumar starrer collected around Rs 4.50 crore net in India on Day 8, its second Friday, across 7,557 shows. That marks a drop of roughly 18.2% from Thursday’s collection of Rs 5.50 crore. With this, Sacnilk estimates the film’s total India net at Rs 97.65 crore, with the India gross standing at Rs 116.27 crore.The overseas business added another Rs 1 crore on Day 8, taking the international gross to Rs 27.45 crore, per the tracker. Combined, the film’s worldwide gross has now reached Rs 143.72 crore in eight days.

The film ran into fresh competition this week with the release of Alia Bhatt’s Alpha, which has pulled away a share of screens and audiences. Even so, the comedy is still drawing viewers, particularly families and fans of broad, light-hearted humour, which suggests it has some fuel left. The film had opened strong, collecting around Rs 63.75 crore over its first weekend before settling into a steady weekday run and closing its opening week above Rs 92 crore net. The film needs less than Rs 2.5 crore more to enter the Rs 100 crore net club in India, a milestone it should cross over the weekend if Saturday and Sunday bring the usual jump in footfalls.

The story follows an eccentric billionaire who stages a fake film shoot deep inside a jungle as part of a larger conspiracy, with chaos taking over when the cast and crew are mistaken for a military unit during a real terrorist operation. For context, the franchise’s first film, Welcome (2007), netted around Rs 119 crore worldwide, while Welcome Back managed about Rs 168 crore. The third installment has matched its predecessor’s lifetime India business inside eight days, though ticket price inflation over a decade makes direct comparison generous. The real test begins now: whether word of mouth carries it well past the milestone or the Alpha wave flattens its run.
Welcome To The Jungle Box Office Collection Day 6: It has been nearly a week since Akshay Kumar-led Welcome to the Jungle, directed by Ahmed Khan, hit theatres. The film has managed a decent run at the box office so far, although its performance has been relatively modest considering the strong franchise value it carries. On Day 6 (Wednesday), the film earned an estimated Rs 6.15 crore net, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. This takes the film’s domestic net collection to Rs 87.65 crore, while its worldwide collection now stands at Rs 129.37 crore.On Wednesday, Welcome to the Jungle was screened across 9,851 shows nationwide and recorded an overall occupancy of 14.81%. Morning shows registered an occupancy of 9.69%, which rose to 14.54% in the afternoon before peaking at 16.23% during the evening shows, and 18.77% during night shows.Story continues below this ad Ahmed Khan, in an earlier chat with Bollywood Hungama had claimed that the film was made in a budget of Rs 125 crore. He shared with Times Now, “Welcome to the Jungle, with cast, action, songs, everything, I haven’t crossed more than Rs 115 crore to Rs 120 crore, or maybe Rs 125 crore. You count the interest money also. I haven’t crossed the budget. And that has been recovered from digital, satellite, music and overseas (rights). The film is even. Now, whatever the film is making, it’s the surplus. They’re completely benefiting from it.” Alongside Akshay Kumar, Welcome To The Jungle features a large ensemble cast including Raveena Tandon, Suniel Shetty, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi, Jackie Shroff, Paresh Rawal, Lara Dutta, Farida Jalal, Johny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Daler Mehndi, Aftab Shivdasani, Mukesh Tiwari, Yashpal Sharma, Kiran Kumar, Zakir Hussain, Vindu Dara Singh, and Urvashi Rautela, among others.
