Ahmed Khan’s directorial venture Welcome To The Jungle, the third installment in the popular Welcome franchise, has achieved a major milestone by crossing the ₹100 crore mark at the Indian box office. Released on June 26, the comedy adventure featuring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Anil Kapoor, and several other stars has managed to sustain strong momentum despite competition.
In its opening week, the film collected ₹95.21 crore nett, showcasing the enduring appeal of slapstick humor and ensemble storytelling. On its second Friday, it added another ₹4.50 crore, pushing the total to ₹99.71 crore, and comfortably crossed the ₹100 crore milestone soon after. The film’s performance has been particularly strong in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where family audiences have embraced its quirky characters and lighthearted narrative.
A key driver of its success has been the positive word-of-mouth surrounding its comic timing, with viral memes such as “Badi Bi” amplifying its reach across social media platforms. The combination of nostalgia, star power, and situational comedy has ensured that the film remains a crowd-puller even as it faces competition from releases like Alpha.
Trade analysts are optimistic about the film’s trajectory, projecting collections of ₹18–20 crore in its second week. With this steady hold, Welcome To The Jungle is expected to achieve a lifetime total exceeding ₹150 crore, reaffirming the franchise’s ability to entertain audiences across generations and cementing its place as one of the standout box office performers of 2026.
