The Rajinikanth‑led sequel ‘Jailer 2’ earned close to Rs 800 crore worldwide by its 16th day, despite a slight dip in daily earnings.
The Tamil‑language blockbuster ‘Jailer 2’, starring veteran actor Rajinikanth, recorded its 16th‑day box‑office figures on Thursday. According to NDTV Profit, the film’s cumulative worldwide gross is now inching toward the Rs 800 crore milestone, a benchmark rarely crossed by Indian releases.
While the daily collection showed a modest decline compared with the previous day, the overall trajectory remains upward, underscoring the star’s enduring pull across domestic and overseas markets. Trade analysts note that such a dip is typical for big‑budget sequels after an initial surge.
Industry observers credit the film’s strong performance to a combination of Rajinikanth’s fan base, aggressive marketing, and a wide release strategy that covered major Indian metros as well as key overseas territories with sizable Indian diaspora.
The near‑Rs 800 crore figure places ‘Jailer 2’ among the highest‑grossing Indian films of the year, reinforcing the actor’s status as a box‑office magnet even in the second decade of his career.
