Can a comedic film become a box office success? Can akshay kumar, who has been waiting a long time for a major success, make a spectacular return with Welcome to the Jungle? As bollywood prepares for one of its biggest comedies, these are the questions. Despite the fact that the Welcome franchise has always been a hit, the creators are promising something larger, funnier, and grander than ever.
Expectations are extremely high because of the ensemble star cast, the holiday release, and the return of Akshay Kumar. Will it, however, live up to the anticipation and end up becoming Akshay's biggest movie ever? There have already been two successful Welcome movies. A cult hit, the first Welcome was released in 2007 and captured the hearts of viewers with its humor and personalities. With a net receipt of ₹70.25 crore in India, it was a huge hit at the time. Although it made 96 crore, the 2015 sequel Welcome Back had less of an impact.
Despite its success, the movie lacked Akshay Kumar's charm and lacked the original's charm. Welcome to the Jungle now has a fantastic opportunity to not just outperform these movies but also to write bollywood comedy film history. It is being touted as Bollywood's biggest comedy ever, and its goal is not merely to become another smash. However, in order to be deemed a game-changer, it must surpass ₹200 crore, and ideally ₹250–300 crore.
Only a small number of Akshay Kumar's numerous hits over his remarkable career have gone on to become box office history. His top-grossing movie to date, 2.0, brought in ₹407.05 crore in India. However, Rajinikanth's presence propelled the movie, making it more of a tamil industry titan than a record-breaking akshay kumar blockbuster. Housefull 4 is the most successful of his solo blockbusters with ₹210.3 crore, followed by good newwz and Mission Mangal, both of which have surpassed ₹200 crore. Welcome to the Jungle must surpass these figures in order to be his real career-defining hit.
