Welcome To The Jungle box office collection day 7: Ahmed Khan’s action-comedy, led by Akshay Kumar and featuring an ensemble cast, opened to mixed reviews from both critics and audiences. Despite the divided response, the film crossed the ₹100 crore mark worldwide within its first seven days and is now steadily closing in on the same milestone at the domestic box office.
Welcome To The Jungle box office performance
According to Sacnilk, on Wednesday, Akshay Kumar’s film collected ₹6.15 crore. On its seventh day and first Thursday, the film saw a 14% drop in its collection and collected ₹5.25 crore across 9,917 shows. With this, the film has ended its first week with ₹92.90 crore net collection. The film is inching closer to ₹100 crore mark at the domestic box office.
However, with Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, releasing in cinemas today (3 July), it remains to be seen whether Welcome to the Jungle can sustain its box office momentum or witness a slowdown. The film is also set to face fresh competition next week from Dhamaal 4, which arrives in theatres on 10 July. All eyes are now on whether Welcome to the Jungle can surpass the lifetime worldwide collection of Akshay Kumar’s previous horror-comedy, Bhooth Bangla, which earned ₹182 crore.
