What to know

  • Jailer 2 became the first Tamil film to cross Rs 800 crore at the worldwide box office by day 18 of release, a historic milestone for Tamil cinema.
  • The film surpassed S Shankar's 2.0 (2018) to become the highest-grossing Tamil film of all time, with 2.0 having collected Rs 691 crore globally across its lifetime.
  • Domestically, Jailer 2 is the second Tamil film to cross Rs 500 crore gross in India after 2.0, achieving this in 15 days despite facing a compromised Hindi release due to disputes with major multiplex chains.
  • The film remains on track to potentially become the first film in Tamil cinema history to enter the Rs 1,000 crore club, though weekly collections have shown signs of slowing down in the second week.

“Watched on 2nd day of release. Proper theatre material with wild audiences. People who watch on OTT are gonna hate it. Obviously it doesn't have much plot but it's an entertainer, much better…”
