Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 isn’t slowing down. After a superb second weekend, it has crossed Rs 440 crore in India and has already overtaken 2.0 to become the biggest Tamil film ever worldwide. Here’s the breakdown.
Jailer 2: Box Office
| Milestone | Number |
|---|---|
| 2nd Sunday (India gross) | About Rs 27.25 crore |
| 2nd weekend total | Just over Rs 69 crore |
| 12-day India total | About Rs 443 crore |
| Week-on-week drop | Around 55 per cent |
| Worldwide gross | About Rs 690 crore |
| Previous worldwide record (2.0) | Rs 663 crore |

A Superb Hold
A 55 per cent drop in the second weekend is a very good result for a South Indian film, especially one that opened this big. In India, the film ranks second among Kollywood films behind 2.0, and Pinkvilla expects it to take the top spot soon.
Where the Money Comes From?
| Territory | Gross (India) |
|---|---|
| Tamil Nadu | Rs 166.25 crore |
| Andhra Pradesh and Telangana | Rs 83 crore |
| Karnataka | Rs 78.25 crore |
| Kerala | Rs 71 crore |
| Rest of India | Rs 44.75 crore |
Records Within Reach
- Tamil Nadu: On course for Rs 200 crore or more in its full run.
- Karnataka and Kerala: Already the biggest grosses for any Kollywood film in both states.
- Telugu states: Less than Rs 10 crore short of 2.0’s record, so it should topple it soon.
- Hindi dubbed version: About Rs 33 crore net so far, likely to finish above Rs 40 crore, a strong number for a dubbed film with limited release and little spending.
Conclusion
Strength outside the home state is what makes this run special. Many big Tamil films peak in Tamil Nadu, but Jailer 2 is setting records across Karnataka, Kerala and beyond. If the weekday numbers hold, the Indian record is just a matter of days.
