On its 18th day, Akshay Kumar’s comedy film Welcome To The Jungle continued to hold its own at the box office, despite a significant dip in earnings on Monday. In India, the film collected an estimated Rs 55 lakh net, marking a 71.1% drop from Sunday’s Rs 1.90 crore net. The domestic net collection now stands at Rs 130.10 crore, with the gross collection at Rs 154.63 crore. Meanwhile, the film’s overseas earnings have reached Rs 32.85 crore, with an additional Rs 25 lakh gross collected on Day 18. The worldwide gross collection has climbed to Rs 187.48 crore, putting it close to the Rs 190 crore milestone.
The film’s story revolves around Rajeev, played by Akshay Kumar, an actor whose career has been stuck after a string of flops. Looking for a fresh start, he agrees to an unusual film deal, which quickly turns into a mess when a village mistakes the movie crew for a real military unit. The confusion leads to a series of comic misunderstandings, which form the core of the film’s comedy. With its respectable numbers and steady performance, Welcome To The Jungle is still going strong, despite growing competition from new releases.
