Welcome To The Jungle Paid Previews Box Office Collection
According to Sacnilk, Welcome To The Jungle has earned around Rs 3.75 crore net from its limited paid previews, translating to approximately Rs 4.50 crore gross. Considering the restricted number of preview shows, the opening response is seen as a respectable start for the multi-starrer. Interestingly, the film's paid preview figures are on par with those of Bhooth Bangla, drawing inevitable comparisons between the two Akshay releases.
Welcome To The Jungle Budget
Welcome To The Jungle has reportedly been mounted on a massive budget of Rs 250–300 crore, making it one of the most expensive comedy films in Hindi cinema.
For a film mounted on such a massive scale, the film will need to register solid opening-day numbers, sustain momentum over the weekend, and maintain healthy collections in the weeks that follow to justify its cost.
Directed by Ahmed Khan, Welcome To The Jungle marks the third instalment in the popular Welcome franchise. Early reactions from audiences have been largely positive, with many praising the film's entertainment value, humor, and its ability to effectively utilise its massive 34-actor ensemble.
Welcome To The Jungle Review
The Free Press Journal reviewer gave Welcome To The Jungle 3.5 out of 5 stars, with the review reading as follows: "Welcome To The Jungle is undoubtedly one of the best comedy movies that we have seen this year so far. You will laugh so much while watching the movie that tears may come to your eyes, and your cheekbones might start hurting. But yes, remember that it doesn't offer anything logical. So, just go to the theatres, forget all your worries, and enjoy Welcome To The Jungle!"
