Welcome To The Jungle Box Office Collection: Akshay Kumar Film Collects Rs 11 Lakh From Morning Shows

Akshay Kumar-starrer Welcome To The Jungle has finally arrived in theatres after holding paid preview shows from 7:30 pm on June 25. The comedy entertainer earned an estimated Rs 3.75 crore nett – around Rs 4.50 crore gross – from its paid previews. This mirrors the trend seen with Akshay Kumar’s previous release, Bhooth Bangla. Based on the current paid preview trend and advance booking data available on Sacnilk, Welcome To The Jungle appears to be heading for a similar opening-day collection.

Welcome To The Jungle Review

In our review of the film, we wrote, “Welcome To The Jungle is a pure entertainer that asks audiences to leave logic at the door. If you walk into the theatre expecting realism or narrative consistency, you’re likely watching the wrong film. This is a comedy driven by exaggerated situations, misunderstandings and over-the-top characters. The film almost feels review-proof because it openly acknowledges its own ridiculousness. It thrives on self-aware humour and embraces the ‘brain-rot comedy’ label with confidence. While not every joke lands perfectly, there are enough genuinely funny moments to keep the energy alive throughout.”
