Mumbai, June 29 - Akshay Kumar's Welcome To The Jungle has emerged as a strong performer at the box office, collecting an impressive 93.50 crore gross worldwide during its opening three-day weekend. The comedy entertainer has not only revived audience interest in the Welcome franchise but has also sparked conversations around its production scale and remuneration structure. According to Bollywood Hungama, the film was mounted on a budget of approximately 125 crore, making it one of the biggest comedy productions in recent Bollywood history. Around 60 crore was reportedly spent on production and shooting, while 35 crore went towards the ensemble cast. The remaining budget was allocated to the technical crew, direction, and promotional activities. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) One of the biggest talking points surrounding the film has been Akshay Kumar's payment model. Instead of charging a massive upfront acting fee, the superstar reportedly opted for a backend profit-sharing arrangement. Earlier rumours claiming he accepted only 1.8 crore for the film were dismissed by Akshay during promotions, further fuelling speculation about the actual deal structure. The profit-sharing strategy is being seen as a smart move by Akshay Kumar, especially after the film's impressive opening weekend collections. If the movie continues its strong run in theatres, Akshay Kumar could end up earning significantly, given that the movie is also expected to fetch huge revenue from digital and satellite rights. Directed by Ahmed Khan, Welcome To The Jungle features a star-studded cast and aims to revive the nostalgia and comic chaos associated with the popular Welcome franchise.

Mumbai, June 29 - The Independence Day weekend has always been a prized release corridor for Bollywood, but 2026 is shaping up to be especially competitive.

Mumbai, June 28 - In one of the most surprising box office developments of the season, period romantic drama Main Vaapas Aaunga has emerged as a genuine word-of-mouth success story. The Imtiaz Ali directorial managed to achieve a rare milestone by catching up with Cocktail 2 on a crucial Saturday comparison despite starting its theatrical run on a much smaller scale. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to early trade estimates, Main Vaapas Aaunga collected around 4.25 crore net with an excellent jump of +54% from Friday on its third Saturday (Day 16). The film almost matched its second Saturday collection of 4.35 crores net, which speaks a lot about its growing word of mouth. After the third Saturday, the total Indian collection of the movie has reached around 41.75 crores net, heading towards the 50 crore milestone, which looked like a far cry when the movie started. Meanwhile, Maddock Film's Cocktail 2 minted 4.25-4.35 crores net on its second Saturday, which is almost identical to Main Vaapas Aaunga's third Saturday. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the massive difference in the opening numbers of the two films. Cocktail 2, starring Shahid Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Kriti Sanon, opened strongly with 13.50 crore on Day 1. In contrast, Main Vaapas Aaunga had a modest opening of 1.15 crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Despite the huge initial gap, Main Vaapas Aaunga has shown exceptional growth week after week. The film has benefited heavily from strong audience appreciation, positive social media buzz, and glowing word of mouth. Instead of slowing down after its first week, the film witnessed upward momentum in its second and third weekends — a rare phenomenon in today's theatrical market. The film's emotional storytelling and Imtiaz Ali's direction have connected deeply with audiences, resulting in sustained occupancy across multiplexes and urban centres. The Diljit Dosanjh-starrer has now become one of the most talked-about sleeper successes of the year. Meanwhile, Cocktail 2 continues to remain the bigger grosser overall, having scored around 79 crores net after 9 days. However, the latest Saturday trend indicates that Main Vaapas Aaunga currently has stronger momentum and audience retention. With both films continuing their theatrical runs amid fresh competition from new releases, the coming week will determine whether Main Vaapas Aaunga can maintain its dream run at the box office.
