Welcome To The Jungle, directed by Ahmed Khan and starring Akshay Kumar, has taken a decent start at the box office, emerging as the third-biggest Hindi opening of the year. The film collected ₹15.25 crore net in India on its first Friday and ₹6.50 crore overseas, taking its worldwide gross collection to ₹29.30 crore.
This surpasses the opening-day worldwide collections of Shahid Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon's Cocktail 2, which grossed ₹23.45 crore, as well as Akshay Kumar's previous hit Bhooth Bangla, which earned ₹28.70 crore.
Welcome To The Jungle revolves around a group of gangsters, criminals and quirky characters whose paths cross in a jungle near the border. The film is presented by A. A. Nadiadwala, Cape of Good Films and Star Studio18 in association with Seeta Films and Rakesh Dang.
With a large ensemble cast, including Suniel Shetty, Rajpal Yadav, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Tusshar Kapoor, Lara Dutta, Raveena Tandon and several others, the film has received good reviews and is expected to perform well at the box office.
