Welcome To The Jungle Box Office Day 6: Akshay Kumar's Film Crosses ₹100 Crore Gross in India, Worldwide Total Hits ₹129.37 Crore

Akshay Kumar's big ensemble comedy Welcome To The Jungle is crossing some major box office milestones, officially crossing the Rs 100 crore mark domestically in less than a week. The film is fighting really steadily, even with the typical midweek dip that almost every movie gets.

Here's how the numbers are stacking up after six days in theatres:

The Box Office Rundown

The film collected an estimated ₹6.15 crore net in India on Day 6. That is a slight dip from the previous day’s rush but was enough to push its total domestic net collection to an impressive ₹87.65 crore.

The movie has officially entered the coveted ₹100 crore gross club in India with a gross of ₹104.42 crore (with taxes included).

Universal appeal

The film is also playing well internationally. It has also collected around Rs 24.95 crore from international markets so far. Combine those ticket sales with the domestic numbers, and Welcome To The Jungle has raked in a massive ₹129.37 crore worldwide in just six days.

What keeps an audience's attention?

The sheer scale of the cast is clearly a huge draw in the third chapter of the beloved Welcome franchise, directed by Ahmed Khan. Akshay Kumar stars in a motley crew of Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Raveena Tandon, Jacqueline Fernandez and Disha Patani. Just the kind of mindless nostalgia that makes family audiences come out during the week.

The film is expected to breach the ₹90 crore net domestic mark before the end of its first complete week. The real test, however, is just around the corner. It will have to rely on screens as it goes into its second weekend and faces some stiff competition from new theatrical releases.
