Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer 2’ Crosses ₹300 Crore in Three Days

Indian cinema superstar Rajinikanth, 75, has once again taken the silver screen by storm, igniting immense audience enthusiasm and shattering box office expectations. Since its release, his latest film, ‘Jailer 2’, has dominated theaters, raking in over ₹317 crore globally in just three days.

Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the sequel has been performing exceptionally well since its debut. In the Indian market, the film has recorded a net collection of ₹144.60 crore and a gross collection of ₹169.65 crore.

The film has also received an overwhelming response from international markets, where it grossed ₹147.50 crore in just three days. Combined, the domestic and international earnings bring the film’s total global gross collection to ₹317.15 crore.

After an opening-day collection of ₹59.70 crore in India, earnings dipped slightly to ₹37.10 crore on the second day. However, on Saturday (October 17)—a holiday—audience turnout surged significantly. With a growth of approximately 28.8%, the film generated a net income of ₹47.80 crore in a single day across 14,604 shows.

With this, ‘Jailer 2’ has surpassed the lifetime total earnings of two of Rajinikanth’s own previous blockbusters: ‘Kabali’ (approx. ₹295 crore) and ‘Enthiran’ (approx. ₹290 crore).

Consequently, just three days after its release, ‘Jailer 2’ has secured its place as the fourth highest-grossing film of Rajinikanth’s career. Topping the list is ‘2.0’ (approx. ₹668–675 crore), followed by the 2023 film ‘Jailer’ (approx. ₹605–630 crore) and the 2025 release ‘Coolie’ (approx. ₹516–548 crore). 'Thalaiva' Rajinikanth has made a comeback in the second installment, reprising his role as 'Tiger Muthuvel Pandian' from the 2023 blockbuster hit *Jailer*. The film also features an impressive star-studded cast; alongside Rajinikanth, this sequel—directed by Nelson Dilipkumar—stars renowned actors such as Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, Ramya Krishnan, Vijay Sethupathi, Vidya Balan, and Mithun Chakraborty. The film's music and score have been composed by Anirudh Ravichander.

Given the current upward trend in earnings, it seems only a matter of time before new box-office records are shattered for the fans of 'Thalaiva'.
