Welcome To The Jungle Box Office Collection: Akshay Kumar's Welcome To The Jungle has managed to clear one of the biggest hurdles for any commercial entertainer
- the crucial Monday test. After enjoying a strong opening weekend and benefiting from paid previews, the comedy entertainer maintained a steady hold at the box office on its first Monday. The Ahmed Khan directorial earned Rs 8.5 crore on Day 4, taking its overall India net collection to Rs 72.25 crore. With an ensemble cast, franchise value, and family audience support working in its favour, the film has started its weekday run on a positive note.

After collecting Rs 24.75 crore on its first Sunday, Welcome To The Jungle witnessed an expected drop on Monday.

The Akshay Kumar starrer has managed to remain stable despite the end of the extended opening weekend. The film's four-day total, including paid previews, is Rs 72.25 crore in India.
