Welcome To The Jungle Tops 100 Crore Worldwide After A Decent Monday Hold; Sixth Consecutive Akshay Kumar Film To Do So
BY SACNILK
Mumbai, June 30 - Akshay Kumar's latest comedy entertainer, Welcome To The Jungle, has crossed the 100 crore mark at the worldwide box office within just four days of release, continuing its good theatrical run despite the expected Monday slowdown. The Ahmed Khan directorial managed to hold decently on its first weekday, collecting an estimated 8.5 crore nett on Monday and taking its global total to around 106 crore. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) After a solid opening weekend that brought in around 63.75 crore nett (76.50 crores gross) in India, the film benefited from strong family footfalls, franchise nostalgia, and positive audience reception in mass circuits. Sunday witnessed a notable jump in collections, helping the film comfortably enter the 90 crore worldwide zone before Monday. The drop on Monday is less than 50% from the Friday opening day, which is considered a good hold. The film's Monday drop remained within an acceptable range, considering the better-than-expected weekend and discounted pricing on Tuesday. The coming weekdays will now determine whether the comedy caper can sustain momentum ahead of fresh competition arriving later this week. What makes the feat even more significant for Akshay Kumar is that Welcome To The Jungle has now become his sixth consecutive film to cross the 100 crore mark worldwide.

No. Movie Worldwide Gross 1 Welcome To The Jungle ₹ 106.50 Cr 2 Bhooth Bangla ₹ 271.00 Cr 3 Jolly LLB 3 ₹ 171.65 Cr 4 Housefull 5 ₹ 288.65 Cr 5 Kesari Chapter 2 ₹ 145.00 Cr 6 Sky Force ₹ 150.00 Cr As of June 29, 2026. While some of Akshay's recent films faced mixed critical and commercial outcomes domestically, the actor has continued to maintain a strong global box office pull, especially in ensemble entertainers and franchise-driven projects. The last movie of his which failed to cross the 100 crores gross mark worldwide was Khel Khel Mein in 2024, and since then, the actor has been on a success streak, which is always a good sign for the Hindi film industry. Directed by Ahmed Khan, the multi-starrer features a massive ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Disha Patani, Raveena Tandon, Jacqueline Fernandez, and others and serves as the third instalment in the popular Welcome franchise. Audiences have particularly responded to the film's nostalgic callbacks, slapstick humour, and larger-than-life comic setup. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})
