Welcome To The Jungle entered its final phase at the box office. The Akshay Kumar starrer collected Rs. 20 lakh on its 4th Friday, dropping by 55 per cent over the 3rd Thursday. The running cume of the comedy caper now stands at Rs. 127.95 crore nett at the Indian box office.
Based on current trends, the movie is looking for an end around Rs. 130 crore nett or so. That’s an average result for the film. Ideally, it should have done Rs. 150 crore, but competition from Alpha and Dhamaal 4, as well as spoof treatment, held it back at the box office for a long run.
The film is still a success. Fortunately, the costs involved are very reasonable despite being a film from a big brand, i.e., Welcome. Had the film cost as much as Housefull 5, it would have been tough for it. Looking from other pov, while the low costs have made the film a success, the grosses are a bit of a disappointment for the brand value of Welcome.
For the unversed, the original Welcome was amongst the biggest grossers of all time, while the second one, despite not having Akki in the lead, managed to open strongly and put up good final numbers. In that context, this one is a bit underwhelming.
