Welcome to the Jungle Surpasses Kesari 2's Earnings in 7 Days, Akshay Kumar's Big Hit in the Making Akshay Kumar's multi-star comedy film Welcome to the Jungle has delivered a stunning box office performance, surpassing the lifetime collection of his previous film Kesari Chapter 2 within just seven days of its release. The film, which opened on July 3, 2026, has already demonstrated its potential to become a major hit, with its first-week earnings exceeding expectations and setting the stage for a blockbuster run. The movie's first weekend grossed 63.75 crore rupees, establishing a strong foundation for its success. However, the true test came during the working days of the first week, where the film maintained its momentum. By Wednesday, Welcome to the Jungle had already collected 6.15 crore rupees, and on Thursday, it managed 5.25 crore rupees despite a slight dip. These figures brought the film's total earnings for the first week to nearly 93 crore rupees, matching the lifetime collection of Kesari Chapter 2, which had previously earned 93 crore rupees. This achievement is particularly significant given that Welcome to the Jungle was released with a reported budget of 125 crore rupees. The film's light-hearted comedy style, combined with its star-studded cast, has resonated well with audiences, leading to its rapid rise in the box office. The success of the film also highlights the resilience of Akshay Kumar's career, as it marks a rebound from a challenging period for the actor. The film's performance has sparked speculation about its potential to become a massive hit. Industry analysts believe that Welcome to the Jungle could easily cross its budget within the second weekend, further solidifying its position as a commercial success.#bollywood #akshay_kumar #bhoot_bangla #welcome_to_the_jungle #kesari_chapter_2
