'The Jungle Book' collects Rs. 40.19 cr in Box-Office

Disney's 'The Jungle Book' made a terrific business in the opening weekend, after its release on April 8, marking it to be the second highest Box-Office collection after Akshay kumar starrer 'Airlift.'

According to movie critic Taran Adarsh, the movie "had 33.89 percent growth on Saturday over Friday and 64.42 percent growth on Sunday over Friday."

"#TheJungleBook emerges 2nd BIGGEST OPENING WEEKEND of 2016, after #Airlift. Fri 10.09 cr, Sat 13.51 cr, Sun 16.59 cr. Total: ? 40.19 cr nett," tweeted Adarsh.

"The terrific biz of #TheJungleBook proves that strong content + smart marketing can work wonders at the BO," his other tweet said.

"#TheJungleBook continues its REMARKABLE run. Witnesses SPLENDID growth on Sun. All set to cross ? 50 cr mark on weekdays itself...," he added.

Viewers loved each and every single frame of the movie and they were all praises for Neel Sethi, the child actor who played Mowgli and were moved by the never-before-seen special effects.

Since people in India are very closely associated with the wildlife chronicle, The Jungle Book looks all set to rake in massive moolah in the days to come.
