As Jailer 2 earns Rs 755 cr, Karthik Subbaraj on why Tamil Cinema has no Rs 1,000 cr film

Day 10 of Jailer 2's box office run saw the Rajinikanth-starrer crossing the Rs 700 crore milestone worldwide, bringing the film closer to its lifetime earnings target. The Tamil film earned Rs 16.25 crore in India, leaving a mere Rs 25 crore to surpass the 2018 blockbuster 2.0's lifetime gross. Vijay's Leo secured the third position with a worldwide haul of Rs 605.90 crore.

According to Sacnilk, the Jailer sequel has collected Rs 436.80 crore in India, for a total net collection of Rs 373 crore. The film's global earnings have soared to Rs 666.30 crore. Building on its predecessor's story, Jailer 2 boasts a new lineup of actors, including Mithun Chakraborty, Vidya Balan, and SJ Suryah. Yogi Babu and Namo Narayana garnered attention for their roles, while cameo appearances by Mohanlal, Jackie Shroff, and Shiva Rajkumar have been a fan favorite.

Jailer 2's swift success surpasses its predecessor's lifetime worldwide collection within its first week, making it a notable achievement for the franchise. The film could continue to attract audiences and inch closer to the Rs 700 crore milestone before the November 5 release of the highly anticipated Ramayana.
