The Jungle Book continued to smash records on the eighth day with collections around 7.50-7.75 crore nett which is just 25% less than day one and there was a big film like Fan released. The film will probably become the highest grossing Hollywood release in India in just two weeks.
The business of the film now is around 81 crore nett in eight days and in some of the mass centres, the collections on day eight were better than the first day. Even a circuit like East Punjab dominated by multiplexes collected better on day eight than the first day.
The eighth day collections are the best of year and the way the film is going it could be the highest grossing film of the year beating the Hindi films. Airlift grossed 123 crore nett and The Jungle Book could beat that though obviously Fan has been released this week and that could also beat the Airlift figure.
