Rajinikanth's Ex-Son-In-Law, Dhanush Reviews His Film 'Jailer 2', Calls It A Must-Watch Film

Dhanush praised the sequel’s ensemble cast and Anirudh Ravichander’s music after it drew strong early audience response.

  • Released worldwide on October 15, 2026, Jailer 2 starring Rajinikanth as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian achieved over Rs 57 crore in domestic advance bookings, signaling a record-breaking theatrical debut for the action thriller.
  • Major multiplex chains PVR INOX and Cinepolis declined to screen the Hindi version, citing a dispute over the producers' plan for a four-week OTT window versus the industry-standard eight-week gap.
  • Critics praised Rajinikanth's enduring star power and the film's 'solid commercial first half,' though many noted an 'underwhelming second half' and weak writing in the screenplay.
  • As of October 28, the action thriller grossed Rs 744 crore worldwide, cementing its status as the highest-grossing Tamil film of all time with strong support from North American markets.
  • The film's conclusion features an open ending teasing a potential third installment, leaving fans eager to see Rajinikanth reprise his role as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian in future franchise explorations.
