It has been a long time since Hollywood movies have been dominating Bollywood films on the Indian soil itself. There are plenty of examples, Kung Fu Panda 3 overpowered Saala Khadoos in 2016, The Jungle Book surpassed Shah Rukh Khan's Fan in the same year, and the historic success of Avengers: Endgame mirrored the bitter truth about our films' falling footfalls.

And the latest film to join the bandwagon is Dwayne Johnson and Nick Jonas' Jumanji: The Next Level, a sequel to Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle. Given how entertaining and maddening the last film was, the sequel was always expected to open well, and it has. And it doesn't come as a surprise it has marched ahead of the Bollywood releases of the week like Mardaani 2, and The Body.
