Jailer 2 Crosses ₹300 Crore Worldwide in Just 3 Days as Saturday Bounces Back

Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 has stormed past the ₹300-crore mark at the worldwide box office in just three days, bouncing back strongly on Saturday after a Friday dip, according to trade estimates.

The Nelson Dilipkumar-directed sequel collected ₹47.80 crore nett in India on Saturday (day 3), taking its cumulative India nett to ₹144.60 crore. The domestic gross now stands at ₹169.65 crore, while overseas markets contributed ₹47.50 crore on day 3 alone, pushing the cumulative overseas gross to ₹147.50 crore. With these figures, the film’s worldwide gross has climbed to ₹317.15 crore.

Jailer 2 had opened on Thursday, October 15, with ₹59.70 crore nett in India, then slipped to ₹37.10 crore on Friday before Saturday’s recovery. Overall theatre occupancy improved from 48.2% on day 2 to 53.9% on day 3, and the film has already logged 9,361,338 footfalls in three days.

The Tamil version continues to do the heavy lifting. On Saturday it earned ₹34.60 crore from 7,802 shows at 69.1% occupancy, with night shows touching 90% in Tamil Nadu. The Telugu version added ₹8.50 crore, Hindi screenings contributed ₹4.25 crore, and the Kannada version added ₹0.45 crore.

Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, Jailer 2 sees Rajinikanth return as retired jailer Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, whose peaceful life is upended when a new threat from the criminal underworld forces him back into his ruthless ways to protect his family and legacy. The sequel also features Vidya Balan, Shiva Rajkumar and Mohanlal in key roles.

The film had already entered the ₹200-crore club worldwide within two days of release, and the Saturday rebound suggests the opening weekend is heading toward a massive total. All figures are trade estimates compiled from industry trackers such as Sacnilk and may vary from the makers’ official numbers.
