‘Welcome To The Jungle’ released on June 26, 2026. Five days later it had already crossed the lifetime worldwide gross of the original Welcome from 2007. The worldwide collection stands at Rs 120.12 crore in five days. Akshay Kumar has responded to that with a photo and a note.
The image is from the set. Akshay is with Farida Jalal and Kiran Kumar. It looks like it was taken during a large outdoor shoot. There is a crowd in the background. The three of them are smiling. Farida Jalal and Akshay are sharing what looks like a warm moment. Kiran Kumar is beside them.
Akshay posted it on social media with a caption that opened simply. “If a picture is worth a thousand words, this one for me is worth millions,” he wrote.
What he said in the note
He thanked everyone connected to the film. Cast, crew, and audiences. He then referenced Farida Jalal’s character in the film directly. “Badi bi sahi keh rahi hai THANK YOU is very small in front of what I feel right now,” he wrote.
He specifically called out the two veterans in the photo. “While I am indebted to every single soul connected to Welcome To The Jungle, I bow down in gratitude to seniors like Farida ji and Kiran Sir. It must be their blessings which is seeing our film get such unimaginable love from all of you,” he added.
He closed the note with a message from the whole team. “Love you all from the whole team of Welcome To The Jungle. Jai Mahakal.”
The box office context
The numbers are what give the post its weight. Welcome To The Jungle crossed the lifetime worldwide gross of the 2007 film Welcome within five days. The original Welcome ran for weeks in theatres and built its collection over time. The third film in the franchise has moved past that number in less than a week.
Trade website Sacnilk confirmed the five-day worldwide collection at Rs 120.12 crore.
