Akshay Kumar’s Welcome to the Jungle crosses 1 Cr. in advance bookings
Welcome to the Jungle has begun its box office journey on a measured note, with advance bookings opening ahead of its June 26 release and paid previews scheduled for the evening of June 25. The Akshay Kumar-led ensemble comedy is the third film in the Welcome franchise, and early reports suggest audience interest is building steadily rather than exploding in a rush.
By the latest industry updates, the film has collected around ₹1 crore to ₹1.89 crore in advance bookings, depending on whether paid previews and blocked seats are included. That puts the film on a decent start, especially for a comedy that depends on franchise goodwill, star power, and broad family appeal.
Bookings were opened in phases, with paid preview tickets going live first and regular show bookings following soon after for the release weekend. This rollout gives the film a chance to build momentum before its theatrical debut, and the preview shows could play an important role in shaping public response.
Overall, the advance booking pattern suggests cautious optimism. If the paid previews generate strong word of mouth, Welcome to the Jungle could still turn its early interest into a stronger opening weekend.
