It is noteworthy that Welcome to the Jungle has been performing better than its predecessora Welcome (2007) and Welcome Back (2015). However, the film will soon face competition from upcoming big releases, including Alpha, Dhamaal 4, The Odyssey, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Meanwhile, during an interview with NDTV, Raveena Tandon, who played the role of Zoya in the film, addressed criticism directed at the third instalment of Welcome and urged audiences not to look for logic or realism in such comedies. “If they’re looking for realism, justifications and logic in a comedy film, then they haven’t seen many Hollywood comedies either. If you look at the greats – Jim Carrey’s films, Adam Sandler’s films – unless they have an emotional track, it’s different. Look at Leslie Nielsen’s films, Steve Martin’s films, or Dumb and Dumber, which was a super hit – do you expect logic from it? It’s like expecting logic from a Mr. Bean episode. So I don’t know what people are talking about, but yes, I’m very happy that it’s doing well,” she said.
Welcome 3 also stars Suniel Shetty, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi, Jackie Shroff, Paresh Rawal, Lara Dutta, Farida Jalal, Johny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Daler Mehndi, Aftab Shivdasani, Mukesh Tiwari, Yashpal Sharma, Kiran Kumar, Zakir Hussain, Vindu Dara Singh and Urvashi Rautela. Helmed by Ahmed Khan, the film is produced by Firoz A Nadiadwala, Rakesh Dang, and Vedant Vikaas Baali.
