Will Welcome To The Jungle cross Rs. 150 crore mark in its lifetime? Trade experts share their views

Image
Welcome To The Jungle is holding well at the box office, thanks to a positive word of mouth. We spoke to experts to find out where the film goes from here and its expected lifetime collections. Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Purnia, Bihar, said, “The film will collect Rs. 160-170 crores. It won’t cross the Rs. 200 crore mark as the market is a bit crowded. Meanwhile, Alpha has overperformed. There’s also a similar-looking film this week, Dhamaal 4 .” Girish Johar agreed, “It’ll breach Rs. 150 crores. Collecting Rs. 175 crores will be difficult because Dhamaal 4 releases this Friday, followed by The Odyssey . So, the line-up is heavy. So, I feel that Rs. 150 crores is achievable.” Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, “ Welcome To The Jungle has an advantage as it’s running to very good occupancy in centres beyond metros. These are the areas which Bollywood has ignored in the recent past. We have had too many multiplex-oriented and urban-centric cinema. The audience...

Trade advises Akshay Kumar to stick to comedies and mass-appealing cinema for a healthy box office track record: “Akshay is brilliant in comedies and audiences appreciate that more than seeing him in serious roles”

Image
Akshay Kumar has excelled in all genres and just before the pandemic, he got a lot of love and also box office success for acting in socially-relevant films. Sadly, that genre has taken a beating in the post-pandemic era. As a result, some of his films in that space did not work. Meanwhile, his last four films – Housefull 5, Jolly LLB 3, Bhooth Bangla and Welcome To The Jungle – have succeeded. The common factor in all these films was that they featured comedy and big-screen appeal. We spoke to trade experts and asked if he should stick to such films for the time being, as that is what the day demands. Trade analyst Atul Mohan said, “Akshay has done socially relevant films in the past. But this is the time of large-scale films. Hence, Bhooth Bangla and Welcome To The Jungle are the right films at the right time. Multi-starrers and biggies are like a Thali you enjoy in a restaurant. Getting the same Thali food as a parcel and having it at home is no fun. So, films like these will ...
