Box Office Collection
Box Office Collection figures released after Wednesday’s business show Dhamaal 4 maintaining its impressive momentum at the Indian box office, while Alpha and Welcome to the Jungle continue to lose steam. Meanwhile, Hollywood horror release Evil Dead Burn is delivering a solid theatrical performance and has overtaken both Bollywood titles in daily earnings.
With audiences continuing to favor comedy and horror genres, the latest Box Office Collection reflects changing viewer preferences across Indian cinemas.
Dhamaal 4 Continues Its Winning Streak
Comedy entertainer Dhamaal 4, starring Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, and an ensemble cast, remains the biggest performer among the current releases.
The film collected ₹6.50 crore on Wednesday, taking its domestic total to ₹89.75 crore.
Having crossed the ₹80 crore mark within just a few days of release, the comedy franchise continues to attract strong family audiences and is now expected to cross the prestigious ₹100 crore milestone soon if the current trend continues.
Trade analysts note that positive audience reception and franchise popularity have helped the film maintain healthy occupancy levels despite increasing competition.
Alpha Slows Significantly
Action thriller Alpha, featuring Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol, continues to witness a sharp decline in ticket sales.
The film earned only ₹60 lakh on Wednesday, taking its overall collection to ₹55.80 crore.
Although the film enjoyed a respectable opening, weekday collections have fallen considerably, indicating that its theatrical run is entering its final phase.
Industry observers expect the movie to rely more heavily on digital streaming after completing its cinema run.
Welcome to the Jungle Remains Stable but Weak
Comedy film Welcome to the Jungle, led by Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, and a large ensemble cast, has now spent more than three weeks in theaters.
On Wednesday, the film collected ₹50 lakh, bringing its total domestic earnings to ₹131.35 crore.
While the film has already crossed the ₹130 crore mark, daily collections have now dropped into the lower range, reflecting the natural slowdown following its extended theatrical run.
Despite declining numbers, the film remains among the year’s successful comedy releases.
Evil Dead Burn Emerges as Hollywood’s Surprise Performer
Among the current Hollywood releases, Evil Dead Burn continues to perform strongly at the Indian box office.
Released on July 10, the horror film earned ₹1.85 crore on Wednesday, pushing its total collection to ₹19.30 crore.
Its Wednesday earnings comfortably surpassed both Alpha and Welcome to the Jungle, highlighting continued audience demand for horror films in the Indian market.
The film’s positive word-of-mouth and strong interest among younger moviegoers have contributed to its consistent performance during weekdays.
