It’s official. Jailer 2 has made history. Rajinikanth’s film has crossed Rajinikanth’s own 2.0 today to become the highest-grossing Tamil film of all time, and the fi rerst Kollywood film ever to cross ₹700 Cr worldwide.
2.0’s Record Falls
2.0 held the all-time Kollywood record with close to ₹700 Cr gross worldwide, including its China release. That record stood for years, and Jailer 2 has now beaten it in just 11 days.
With that, Jailer 2 becomes Kollywood’s new industry hit.
The First ₹700 Cr Tamil Film
No Tamil film had ever crossed ₹700 Cr before. Jailer 2 is the first, and it’s not stopping there. With its strong run continuing, the film is now set to cross the ₹800 Cr mark as well.
A Record-Breaking Journey
Jailer 2 has been breaking records from its very first day.
- ₹130 Cr+ opening day
- ₹300 Cr in 3 days
- ₹500 Cr in 6 days
- ₹580 Cr first week, the biggest in Kollywood history
- ₹600 Cr in 8 days
- ₹700 Cr+ in 11 days, the all-time industry hit
Rajinikanth’s Industry Hit Streak
What makes this even more remarkable is Rajinikanth’s history of breaking his own records. From Padayappa in 1999 to Jailer 2 in 2026, he has delivered industry hit after industry hit for nearly three decades.
Padayappa, Chandramukhi, Sivaji, Enthiran, 2.0, and now Jailer 2. Each time a new benchmark was set, it was usually Rajinikanth who went on to break it.
Still the Superstar at 75
At 75, Rajinikanth has once again proved that his box office pull is unmatched. Most stars slow down at this stage of their careers. Rajinikanth is still setting the highest bar in Tamil cinema.
It’s a run that few stars in Indian cinema have ever matched.
