Junglee box office collection: Vidyut Jammwal, Asha Bhat starrer earns Rs 7.7 cr in 2 days

Junglee box office collection: Vidyut Jammwal and Asha Bhat starrer, which focuses on elephant protection in our forests, has received critical acclaim from critics. Though it failed to register healthy numbers at the box office, Junglee witnessed growth in the collection on the second day of its release. The film earned Rs 4.45 crore on the second day, after collecting Rs 3.25 crore on its opening day. 

However, Sunday might see a further pickup in the collection.  The storyline revolves around a veterinary doctor's fights against an international poachers racket. The action-packed movie has a message that if all of us stop purchasing ivory products, it will help reduce the poaching of elephants and smuggling. 

"#Junglee witnesses growth on Dat 2, but not substantial enough... Mass circuits remain consistent but finds the going tough in metros/plexes... Fri 3.25 cr, Sat 4.45 cr. Total: ₹ 7.70 cr. India biz," Film trade analyst and critic Taran Adarsh tweeted today.

The collection in the coming days will give a clear indication about how the film is going to do. The word of mouth may help it gain pace in the coming week. Besides Vidyut Jammwal and Asha Bhat, the movie features Atul Kulkarni, Makarand Deshpande, Akshay Oberoi, Pooja Sawant. 

Junglee is Chuck Russell's debut Hindi film as director. Hit Hollywood films like The Mask, The Scorpion King, and Eraser are some of the films in his kitty.
