CHENNAI: Rajinikanth's Jailer 2 has grossed Rs 816.90 crore worldwide in 20 days, becoming the first Tamil film to cross the Rs 800-crore mark, according to trade tracker figures.
On its 20th day, the Nelson Dilipkumar-directed film added Rs 3.35 crore in India net collections, taking its domestic nett total to Rs 463.05 crore. Its India gross stands at Rs 541.65 crore, with overseas gross at Rs 275.25 crore after another Rs 1 crore came in from foreign markets on Tuesday (November 03).
In Tamil Nadu, the film has grossed Rs 210.45 crore in 18 days and needs a little over Rs 6.8 crore to overtake Vijay's The Greatest Of All Time, the current record-holder in the state. Its Kannada-dubbed version has also overtaken the collections of Pushpa 2: The Rule.
Daily earnings have begun to taper: the India net figure on Day 20 was 1.5 per cent lower than Monday's Rs 3.40 crore. The Tamil version contributed Rs 1.93 crore from 3,624 shows, the Hindi version Rs 80 lakh, and the Telugu and Kannada versions Rs 45 lakh and Rs 17 lakh.
Produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures, the film is a sequel to the 2023 hit Jailer, with Rajinikanth returning as retired jailer Tiger Muthuvel Pandian. (With inputs from media reports)
