Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 has entered the ₹500 Cr club in just six days. With Tuesday’s advance bookings counted in, the film has crossed the ₹500 Cr gross mark worldwide, making it the fastest Tamil film ever to get there.
₹500 Cr in 6 Days
Jailer 2 collected ₹418 Cr in its four-day opening weekend. Monday’s Dasara holiday added another big number, and strong advances for Tuesday have now taken the film past ₹500 Cr.
No Tamil film has ever reached this mark so quickly.
Rajinikanth’s 4th ₹500 Cr Film
This is Rajinikanth’s fourth film to cross ₹500 Cr worldwide.
- 2.0
- Jailer
- Coolie
- Jailer 2
No other Tamil star has more than one ₹500 Cr film. Rajinikanth now has four.
Still Leading From the Front at 75
What makes this run even more remarkable is that Rajinikanth is doing it at 75. Decades into his career, he is still the biggest box office force in Tamil cinema, and he’s breaking records that younger stars have chased for years.
From back-to-back ₹100 Cr days to a ₹183 Cr overseas weekend, Jailer 2 has shown that his pull hasn’t faded one bit.
The Big One Is Next
With the Dasara week still in play, Jailer 2 has plenty left in the tank. The next big target is Rajinikanth’s own 2.0, the highest-grossing Tamil film of all time with close to ₹700 Cr.
At this pace, Jailer 2 is set to beat it and become Kollywood’s new industry hit, with ₹800 Cr+ firmly in sight.
