The Rajinikanth starrer 'Jailer 2' is poised to breach the Rs 800 crore box‑office barrier as it completes its 16th day of release, NDTV reports.
The Tamil‑language action drama 'Jailer 2', starring superstar Rajinikanth, continued its strong performance on the 16th day of its theatrical run. According to NDTV, the film is on the verge of crossing the Rs 800 crore mark, a milestone that places it among the highest‑grossing Indian releases ever.
Industry analysts attribute the film's sustained earnings to a combination of Rajinikanth's star power, extensive screen coverage across the country, and positive word‑of‑mouth among audiences. The movie has maintained a steady occupancy rate in both metropolitan multiplexes and smaller single‑screen theatres.
The box‑office trajectory of 'Jailer 2' underscores the continued appetite for big‑budget, star‑driven cinema in India, even as streaming platforms expand. With the Rs 800 crore threshold within reach, the film is set to reinforce Rajinikanth's legacy as one of the most bankable actors in the Indian market.
No official statement from the film's producers has been released yet, but trade sources expect the final collection to exceed the projected figure, further solidifying the movie's commercial success.
The milestone also highlights the broader health of the Indian film exhibition sector, which has been recovering steadily after pandemic‑related disruptions.
