With Welcome (2007) earning ₹71.25 crore net and Welcome Back (2015) collecting ₹97 crore net in India, the Welcome franchise sits at a cumulative ₹168.25 crore.

The iconic Welcome franchise is back and louder than ever — Akshay Kumar's Welcome to the Jungle trailer has shattered online records, triggered mass nostalgia, and positioned itself as one of the most hotly anticipated Bollywood films of 2026, ahead of its June 26 theatrical debut.

Welcome to the Jungle — releasing June 26 with 20+ major Bollywood stars directed by Ahmed Khan — is 17 days away. Akshay Kumar is in full promotional mode. The second trailer drops June 11. Two songs at 45 million combined streams. Exhibitors predicting the widest screen count of any Bollywood release in June.
