In comparison, Welcome To The Jungle has showcased better trends. It has also surpassed Akshay Kumar’s 2025 releases, Sky Force (10.26%) and Jolly LLB 3 (10.28%).

Jacqueline Fernandez and Disha Patani co-starrer is performing better than most Bollywood releases of 2026 including Mardaani 3 (8.97%) and O’Romeo (8.63%). It also gave a tough competition to Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna’s Cocktail 2, which registered an occupancy of 11.08% during its morning shows.
