These two are not comparable.
Mowgli is a feeling, a nostalgia for us, the kids of 80s and 90s. When heard about the movie for first, I was more thrilled than my boy. So people like me prefer mowgli over Fan not because FAN is zero and Mowgli is hero... but just because childhood memories and an opportunity to relive it is more precious than all other things and of course our fascination to animated hollywood movies helps the collection too.

SRK is undoubtedly the badshah of bollywood. Only a few bolly actors have expressive eyes and he is one of them. A perfect blend of Hard work and gifted talent. Cinema is money business but not always. We call that other type of movies as parallel cinemas. This is SRK's parallel cinema, not made to create waves in box office but to prove the world he still has the same passion for acting and he is the king of expressions.

TJB is also expected to be bigger than Hrithik's last release Bang Bang. That makes Mowgli a bigger star than both SRK and Hrithik.
The Jungle Book Is Top Hollywood Grosser In Ten Days
Monday 18 April 2016 10.30 IST

?

The Jungle Book grossed around 27 crore nett in its second week and has become the highest grossing Hollywood film in India. The film has beaten the 96 crore nett apprx of Fast & Furious 7 last year. The film has also crossed the 100 crore nett mark at around 101 crore nett.

The second weekend is huge and higher than all Hindi films released in 2016. Airlift which had the highest second weekend grossed 28.75 crore nett in the whole second week. A feat which The Jungle Book will achieve in just four days in its second week. The business is even more commendable as it came against a Shahrukh Khan film Fan.

The film will also beat the lifetime business of all Hindi films released till date this year and it will no surprise if it challenges the 150 crore nett mark. The film is the first all India hit of the year. It will beat the business in most of the mass centres despite that having a mass star like Akshay Kumar starrer and The Jungle Book being dubbed which is a hindrance in mass markets barring a few exceptions.
