Jailer 2 advance bookings cross ₹20 crore in just 24 hours; Rajinikanth film set for record-breaking start

Advance sales crossed 29.69 lakh tickets as strong Tamil Nadu and overseas demand pushed the Rajinikanth sequel past Rs 57 crore, Sacnilk said.

  • On Thursday, October 15, action thriller Jailer 2 releases worldwide with makers officially confirming the Hindi version's theatrical release through distributor Pen Marudhar Entertainment, ending speculation about its availability.
  • Superstar Rajinikanth returns in this sequel to the 2023 blockbuster that amassed over 600 crore worldwide, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar with an ensemble cast.
  • Advance bookings have crossed ₹57 crore in India, with Chennai contributing nearly half of Tamil Nadu's opening-day sales at ₹4.80 crore across more than 1,000 shows.
  • Multiplex chains like PVR INOX initially disputed the release over OTT window disagreements, though exhibitors acknowledged producers weigh streaming revenue against theatrical shares in such decisions.
