Superstar Rajinikanth continues his undisputed reign at the global box office as his latest blockbuster, Jailer 2, officially crosses the monumental ₹776.95 crore mark worldwide by the end of its 16th day. The high-octane action thriller, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, has defied industry expectations, cementing its status as one of the biggest cinematic phenomena in recent years.
On its 16th day alone, the film maintained a firm grip on audiences, netting ₹5.50 crore across India from a massive 8,079 shows. The Tamil original led the charge with ₹3.75 crore, while the Hindi and Telugu versions added ₹1 crore and ₹55 lakh, respectively. With these figures, the film’s domestic net collection has reached an impressive ₹435.40 crore, with its domestic gross standing at ₹509.45 crore. Overseas markets have been equally generous, contributing a staggering ₹267.50 crore to the global total. With a record-breaking 2.93 crore in total ticket sales to date, the frenzy surrounding the project shows no sign of abating.
Perhaps the most significant chapter in this success story is being written in Kerala. Jailer 2 has officially etched its name in the state’s history books, becoming the highest-grossing non-Malayalam film ever released in the region. Within just 16 days, the film has raked in a phenomenal ₹75.25 crore in Kerala, and it is currently surging toward the ₹80 crore milestone.
The film’s performance in Kerala is particularly notable for shattering long-standing records. Within its first week, it surpassed the ₹60 crore mark, effectively overtaking the previous record held by Vijay’s Leo. By Day 13, it eclipsed the lifetime figures of the epic Baahubali 2, solidifying its dominance. Industry analysts attribute this historic run to a potent combination of Rajinikanth’s enduring charisma and the strategic inclusion of Malayalam superstar Mohanlal in a powerful cameo. The presence of celebrated Malayali actors like Suraj Venjaramoodu and Hakkim Shahjahan further amplified the film’s appeal among local audiences.
The momentum was evident from the very first day, when Jailer 2 secured an opening-day record of ₹12.70 crore gross across 4,000 shows in the state. As the film moves into its third week, the combination of strong word-of-mouth and the “Rajini-Mohanlal” factor has created a rare cross-cultural success that has transcended language barriers.
As the film continues its historic theatrical run, it remains to be seen just how high the final global tally will climb. For now, however, Jailer 2 stands as a testament to the power of big-screen spectacle and the unparalleled reach of Indian cinema’s biggest legends.
