Industry trackers predict a ₹75 Cr+ full-run gross for Jailer 2 in Kerala as a certainty, with the film now eyeing the prestigious ₹100 Cr club in the state. The extraordinary reception in Kerala underscores Rajinikanth’s unmatched pan-South appeal and the film’s strong content.
What’s Next for Jailer 2?
With solid advance bookings for the weekdays and a massive second weekend ahead, Jailer 2 is positioned to cross the ₹600 Cr worldwide mark by the end of its second week. The film’s strong word-of-mouth and the Rajinikanth factor continue to drive footfalls across India and international markets.
The Drishyam: The Conclusion sensational opening earlier this month and now Jailer 2’s blockbuster run highlight the strong box office momentum as the year-end season approaches.
