Rajinikanth's Ex-Son-In-Law, Dhanush Reviews His Film 'Jailer 2', Calls It A Must-Watch Film
The Rajinikanth sequel raced past 14 lakh advance tickets as trade trackers said the Hindi version sold nearly 40,000 despite multiplex limits.
- On October 15, 2026, director Nelson Dilipkumar's Jailer 2 opened worldwide, recording over Rs 57 crore in domestic advance bookings across 31,812 screens in India. The Tamil action thriller starred Rajinikanth as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian.
- Multiplex chains PVR INOX and Cinepolis opted out of screening the Hindi-dubbed version, citing producers' plan for a four-week OTT window. Exhibitors maintain an industry-standard eight-week gap to protect theatrical exclusivity before streaming debuts.
- Early reviews praised superstar Rajinikanth's aura and the entertaining first half, though critics flagged underwritten villains. Trade tracker Sacnilk reported the actioner crossed Rs 317.15 crore in worldwide gross collections within its first three days.
- Despite limited North Indian theatrical reach, Jailer 2 recently became the highest-grossing Tamil production worldwide, surpassing 2.0's previous record of Rs 691 crore. The film achieved a worldwide gross of Rs 710.35 crore on its opening weekend.
- The film's conclusion leaves room for a third installment, with fans eager to see protagonist Tiger Muthuvel Pandian return. This record-breaking performance positions the franchise as a major commercial property for future expansion.
