## Where the Love Is Strongest?

Kerala and Karnataka are leading the charge. The original *Jailer* was the biggest Tamil film ever in both markets at the time of its release, so loyalty runs deep. The Middle East also shows strong advance sales, helped by its large Malayali diaspora.

Interestingly, Tamil Nadu’s numbers are good but could have been better, especially for a sequel. That makes the first-day word of mouth even more important.

## The Real Test: Beating the Original

The first *Jailer* grossed over **Rs 600 crore** worldwide, so the bar is sky-high. Inside reports are said to be positive, but as always, the audience has the final say, and the verdict arrives tomorrow morning.

If Rajinikanth’s star power connects, a Rs 100 crore opening is well within reach. For more South film buzz, check our [latest entertainment news](https://technosports.co.in/).
