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.
