Till the end of its opening weekend, total collection of The Jungle Book is recorded as 40.47 cr. With these figures it has become the second highest opening weekend grosser movie of the year so far in India after Airlift.

Whereas the adjacent Bollywood release, Vikram Bhatt’s directorial urban thriller movie Love Games has witnessed flat dull response on box office. It has minted the total amount of 3.06 cr as its weekend collection, that includes 1.03 cr of Friday, 1.01 cr of Saturday and 1.02 cr of Sunday.
