Jailer 2 Hits Rs 355.50 Crore in India in 7 Days
Jailer 2 crosses Rs 355.50 crore in India in seven days, becomes Kerala's biggest Tamil film ever, and now races toward Rs 200 crore in Tamil Nadu.
Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 has turned its opening week into a statement. Seven days in, the sequel is not merely holding; it is expanding its footprint across South India. The film has crossed Rs 355.50 crore approx in India, with Wednesday adding about Rs 31.50 crore.
Seven days in, the pace is still strong
The Wednesday figure stands out because the holiday period officially ended on Tuesday. Karnataka still offered some holiday momentum, which helped the film maintain its midweek pace. Trade watchers expect a normal dip from Thursday, but current momentum points to an extended first week around Rs 375 crore.
- India total: Rs 355.50 crore approx in seven days
- Wednesday: Rs 31.50 crore approx
- Extended first week projection: Around Rs 375 crore
- Tamil Nadu: Rs 132 crore approx so far
- Kerala: Biggest Tamil film of all time, ahead of Leo
- Karnataka: Set to cross the first Jailer in a day or two
Kerala rewrites the record books
The biggest headline outside Tamil Nadu is Kerala. There, Jailer 2 has already overtaken Leo to become the highest-grossing Tamil film of all time. Karnataka is next: the film is expected to pass the original Jailer within a day or two. Andhra Pradesh-Telangana should follow eventually, according to trade estimates.
That Kerala record is significant because it is a mid-run audience verdict, not just an opening-day spike. Passing a benchmark set by Leo inside one week shows the sequel is sustaining demand beyond its initial fan rush.
What Tamil Nadu’s second weekend will tell us
Back home, the numbers are strong but still building. Tamil Nadu has grossed roughly Rs 132 crore, with about Rs 10 crore coming on Wednesday. The film is racing toward the Rs 200 crore mark in the state. A Rs 250 crore finish there looks unlikely at this stage, but the second weekend will clarify how much higher it can climb.
Why this run matters
For audiences, this is another reminder of Rajinikanth’s enduring box office pull beyond any single market. For the trade, it offers a template: Kerala, Karnataka and APTS are doing the heavy lifting while Tamil Nadu builds toward its own milestone. The first Jailer was a major event, but the sequel is now outperforming it in key territories and turning the franchise into a genuine multi-state blockbuster.
