Welcome To The Jungle opened to paid previews on June 25. It opened to moderate numbers and collected Rs 3.75 crore which is 91% less than what Dhurandhar: The Revenge minted on its paid previews that was Rs 44 crore.

The reviews for the comedy have been mixed but fans have praised Akshay Kumarโ€™s commitment to the lunacy of the narrative.

On June 23, there was a grand musical event held with the star cast where the leading man spoke about a lot of things, but the one thing that has gone viral is where he says health is more important than money.

Kumar believes that while fortunes can be rebuilt, good health is not always so easily regained. โ€œIt is very rare to see someone lose their health and get it back completely,โ€ he says.

That perspective has shaped his priorities. For the actor, health outweighs money because it forms the foundation of everything else. โ€œThere is nothing more important than good health. Thatโ€™s why, in my opinion, health is far more valuable than money. There is nothing more important than good health,โ€ he says, adding that once a person is healthy, earning money is always possible.

His wish, he says, is simple that everyone isย blessed with good health. Because while wealth may come and go, health remains lifeโ€™s most valuable asset. โ€œMy prayer to God is that everyone is blessed with good health. Once you have your health, money can always be earned again,โ€ he said signing off.

The CBFC modifications

There had been 18 modifications that were made as per reports. The duration is 2 hours and 44 minutes. The CBFC modified the sensual scene between Disha Patani and Jacqueline Fernandez we see in the trailer.

There had been some alterations in the dialogues too. The dialogue โ€œKala paida huaโ€ฆ koayla haiโ€ with โ€œSaadah paida huaโ€ฆ namoona hua haiโ€, deleting the โ€œPanni of Kashmirโ€ dialogue and changing a line mentioning the โ€œGorkha Regimentโ€ to โ€œtum army se ho?โ€. The word โ€œAzaruddeenโ€ was replaced with โ€œAllaudinโ€, while โ€œAndhaโ€ was muted and substituted with โ€œdheelaโ€. References to โ€œGeneralโ€ were also changed to โ€œofficerโ€ and โ€œsirโ€.
