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

-

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 audiences in tier 2 and tier 2 centres and mass pockets have been alienated by such content. The staple diet for them has always been masala, leave-your-brain-at-home kind of entertainers.”

He also remarked, “We are more focused on business generated in the national chains. A large share of the business also comes from these theatres and non-national chains. Welcome To The Jungle has tapped into that market. If you look at the business in the second week, it was great despite the release of Alpha.”

Trade analyst Atul Mohan noted, “It’s great that the film collected almost Rs. 10 crores on its second Sunday. The families have accepted the film. We have seen how the biggest of films get rejected. Meanwhile, this film has crossed the Rs. 100 crores mark.”

Vedang Raina has reacted on the comparisons with debutant Ahaan Panday, whose latest film Saiyaara has become a runaway success at the box office. He also spoke about his upcoming project with Imtiaz Ali. The internet is on fire with comparisons of you and the Saiyaara actor Ahaan Panday I haven’t gotten the chance to watch it yet, but I do want to watch it soon. Have heard great things. I think everyone has their own journey and there have been visual comparisons with many people as soon as I stepped into the industry. I’m very happy for this success, though. Makes me a believer. When do you start shooting for your film with Imtiaz Ali? I’m starting shoot for the project next month, but the major bulk of it will happen in October and November. It’s my only focus right now. My sole purpose is to do justice to my part and to the fact that I’m working with one of the great directors of our time. Have you signed anything else? I haven’t signed anything off...

The question every fan of the Family Man franchise is asking: when is The Family Man 3 streaming? Manoj Bajpayee has now confirmed that the much-awaited third season of the massively popular Amazon Prime series will begin streaming in the last week of October or the first week of November. “The shooting is complete,” Bajpayee shared. “When we started, we had no idea The Family Man would go this far. Is it the most popular work I’ve done? I would say, most definitely, yes. Although I’ve done some other excellent series on OTT, like Abhishek Chaubey’s Killer Soup , the reach of The Family Man has gone beyond anything I’ve experienced.” The actor is confident that Season 3 will match — if not exceed — expectations. “All I can say at this moment is that those who loved Seasons 1 and 2 won’t be disappointed. If the highlight of Season 2 was Samantha, then Season 3 belongs to Jaideep Ahlawat. What a fine actor! I love working with actors who are as dedicated to getting it right as I a...
