Welcome To The Jungle collected Rs. 2.75 crore on its 2nd Monday, registering a 35 per cent drop from the second Friday. The comedy drama, directed by Ahmed Khan, took its second week’s cume to Rs. 23.25 crore nett in four days. Allied to its first week of Rs. 92.50 crore, the running cume of Welcome To The Jungle now reached Rs. 115.50 crore.
The Akshay Kumar starrer is looking to wind up its second week around Rs. 120 crore or so. Based on current trends, the movie is on track to collect over Rs. 150 crore nett in its full run, which will be less than Bhooth Bangla’s lifetime cume.
The film is certainly a success, but HIT will be cutting close now. 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.
The original Welcome was amongst the biggest grossers of all time, while the second one, despite not having Akshay Kumar in the lead, managed to open strongly and put up good final numbers. In that context, this one is a bit underwhelming.
