The sequel 'Jailer 2' crossed the earnings of its predecessor and is approaching a ₹800 crore box‑office tally by its 17th day, the Economic Times reports.
The Rajinikanth‑starrer 'Jailer 2' continues its strong run, marking its 17th day in theatres across India. Released earlier this month, the action‑drama follows the storyline of its predecessor while introducing new characters and high‑octane sequences that have drawn large crowds.
According to the latest figures from the Economic Times, the film has now out‑earned the original 'Jailer', pushing its cumulative gross close to the coveted ₹800 crore milestone. The day‑17 collection alone added a significant chunk, narrowing the gap to the benchmark that only a handful of Indian releases have achieved.
Industry analysts note that the film's performance underscores Rajinikanth's enduring box‑office pull and the effectiveness of its wide release strategy. With several weeks left in its theatrical window, 'Jailer 2' is poised to either cross the ₹800 crore threshold or settle just short of it, a result that will influence future big‑budget projects.
The strong earnings also reflect robust audience turnout in both metropolitan and tier‑2 cities, indicating a pan‑India appeal that continues to benefit the film's distributors and ancillary revenue streams.
