There’s a saying among fans: one sun, one moon, one Rajinikanth. With Jailer 2 becoming Kollywood’s first ₹800 Cr film, the Superstar has proved it once again.
Every Big Milestone Belongs to Him
Look at Kollywood’s box office history, and one name keeps showing up at every major milestone. Every time Tamil cinema has crossed a new benchmark, it has been a Rajinikanth film that got there first.
Kollywood Box Office Milestones
- First ₹100 Cr Film: Rajinikanth
- First ₹200 Cr Film: Rajinikanth
- First ₹300 Cr Film: Rajinikanth
- First ₹400 Cr Film: Rajinikanth
- First ₹500 Cr Film: Rajinikanth
- First ₹600 Cr Film: Rajinikanth
- First ₹700 Cr Film: Rajinikanth
- First ₹800 Cr Film: Rajinikanth
Eight milestones, one hero.
A Record Run Across Decades
What makes this even more special is how long he has been doing it. From Sivaji and Enthiran to 2.0, Jailer and now Jailer 2, Rajinikanth has kept raising the bar for Tamil cinema for nearly two decades.
Each time, he has set a new standard, and each time, it has taken another Rajinikanth film to go past it.
Breaking His Own Records
Jailer 2 is a perfect example. The film went past 2.0, Rajinikanth’s own film, to become the No.1 Tamil film in India and worldwide. When the Superstar’s records fall, it’s usually the Superstar himself breaking them.
Jailer 2 has now collected ₹803 Cr gross worldwide in 18 days, and it is still running in theatres.
Unmatched at 75
What truly sets him apart is his age. At 75, when most stars slow down, Rajinikanth is still ruling the box office and setting all-time records.
There’s hardly any hero in any film industry who has dominated for so long and is still delivering the biggest hits of his career at this stage.
The Superstar Effect
For fans, these numbers are just proof of what they’ve always believed. Rajinikanth isn’t just a star. He’s the benchmark that Kollywood measures itself against.
And with Jailer 2 still adding to its total, the ₹850 Cr mark could be the next milestone with his name on it.
