Thalapathy Vijay’s final film before his political shift, “Jana Nayagan,” is proving that farewell films can still pack a punch at the box office. The action drama has crossed Rs. 108.25 crore gross in India in just three days, with Saturday alone bringing in a strong Rs. 33 crore.

Vijay’s Swan Song Numbers So Far

The film is riding on pure star power. Despite mixed reviews, Tamil Nadu alone crossed Rs. 20 crore in a single day — a rare feat usually reserved for Vijay’s biggest releases. Industry trackers now expect the extended four-day opening weekend to touch Rs. 145 crore.

Area	Gross Collection
Tamil Nadu	Rs. 62.00 cr
AP/Telangana	Rs. 8.50 cr
Karnataka	Rs. 18.00 cr
Kerala	Rs. 9.75 cr
Rest of India	Rs. 10.00 cr
Total (India)	Rs. 108.25 cr

Why This Run Is Unusual

“Jana Nayagan” wasn’t supposed to have it this easy. Originally set for a January release, the film was delayed over certification issues and even leaked online months before hitting theatres — meaning a large chunk of its core audience had already watched it before the official release. Pulling in these numbers under such circumstances says a lot about Vijay’s enduring box-office pull as he wraps up his acting career, a journey chronicled in detail on Wikipedia.

With production costs weighed heavily by the star’s remuneration, full recovery looks unlikely — but the film is still giving exhibitors a much-needed boost in Tamil Nadu for weeks to come.
