Just when critics said piracy and leaks would sink it, Thalapathy Vijay‘s Jana Nayagan is proving them wrong. The film posted a strong second-weekend hold and is now knocking on the door of the Rs 300 crore worldwide club — a big deal for a movie that faced a rocky release.
Jana Nayagan: Second Weekend Numbers That Matter
Jana Nayagan added Rs 27.25 crore over its second weekend, with Sunday alone bringing in around Rs 12.75 crore. That’s a healthy hold for a 10-day-old film, especially given the leaks and average word-of-mouth it had to fight through.
| Particulars | Box Office |
|---|---|
| Week 1 | Rs 178.75 crore |
| Day 8 | Rs 4.50 crore |
| Day 9 | Rs 10.00 crore |
| Day 10 | Rs 12.75 crore |
| India Total | Rs 206 crore |
| Overseas | Rs 91 crore |
| Worldwide | Rs 297 crore |
Where The Money Is Coming From
Tamil Nadu remains the film’s biggest driver, contributing roughly Rs 127.75 crore so far — and it’s projected to touch Rs 140 crore by the end of its run. Karnataka has added Rs 27.50 crore, the Telugu states Rs 13 crore, Kerala Rs 15.75 crore, and North India nearly Rs 22 crore.
| Area | Box Office |
|---|---|
| Tamil Nadu | Rs 127.75 crore |
| Karnataka | Rs 27.50 crore |
| Andhra/Telangana | Rs 13.00 crore |
| Kerala | Rs 15.75 crore |
| North India | Rs 22.00 crore |
| India Total | Rs 206.00 crore |
Why This Hold Is Impressive
Jana Nayagan wasn’t handed an easy release — it dealt with delays, leaks, and heavy piracy before hitting screens, plus a fairly average critical response. That the film is still tracking toward a projected Rs 335 crore-plus lifetime worldwide total says a lot about star power carrying a film through turbulence that would sink most other releases.
