Rajinikanth’s “Jailer 2” has crossed ₹454 crore at India’s domestic box office after completing its third weekend in theaters, maintaining a strong run since its Oct. 15 release.
The film’s domestic total reached ₹454.33 crore, according to figures from Sacnilk cited by Zoom TV Entertainment. “Jailer 2” is currently the second-highest-grossing Indian film of 2026, behind “Dhurandhar The Revenge.”
A strong opening followed by sustained sales
Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the film opened with a reported domestic net collection of ₹59.70 crore on its first day. Its first week brought in ₹334.35 crore, while the second week added ₹95.55 crore as the pace of ticket sales moderated.
The third weekend produced another increase in sales. “Jailer 2” collected ₹9.35 crore on Saturday and ₹9.33 crore on the following day, bringing the cumulative total to the reported ₹454.33 crore. The film has benefited from the absence of major new releases during its theatrical run, according to the entertainment coverage.
