Ahmed Khan‘Welcome to the Jungle’, the multi-protagonist action comedy, directed by a cast led by Akshay KumarSuniel Shetty and Paresh Rawalhas delivered a pleasant surprise in its second weekend at the box office. Despite entering Week 2 in the shadow of YRF’s big-budget spy thriller ‘Alpha’, starring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari and Bobby Deol, the comedy has bounced back with consecutive days of growth instead of the sharp and sustained decline that many expected, indicating that the family audience is still picking up in big numbers.Having already crossed the Rs. 115 million net on Day 10, “Welcome to the Jungle” now looks set to comfortably extend its lead for the rest of Week 2. With the second weekend surge behind it, the film is likely to see the usual midweek correction from the 11th onwards, with collections expected to settle at Rs. Range of $1-3M net per day as show counts continue to be shared with “Alpha” and other new releases. If this midweek pace is maintained, the film could add another Rs. 6-10 crore for the remainder of week 2, pushing its overall domestic gross towards the Rs 120-125 crore range by the end of its second week.
