Rajinikanth's Ex-Son-In-Law, Dhanush Reviews His Film 'Jailer 2', Calls It A Must-Watch Film
Rajinikanth’s sequel drew strong pre-sales on opening day, with overseas demand and the Hindi version adding to the film’s box office momentum.
- On October 15, 2026, director Nelson Dilipkumar's action thriller Jailer 2 opened worldwide, starring Rajinikanth as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, with advance bookings crossing Rs 55 crore globally.
- Multiplex chains PVR INOX and Cinepolis refused to screen the Hindi-dubbed version across North India following a dispute over the producers' four-week OTT release window, violating the industry-standard eight-week gap.
- Early reviews praised Rajinikanth's performance and the entertaining first half, though critics noted momentum concerns in the second half; Tamil Nadu contributed Rs 10 crore to opening-day advance sales alone.
- International contributions from the U.S. and Dubai bolstered collections, helping the film surpass the Rs 700 crore worldwide milestone and confirming its status among the highest-grossing Tamil films ever.
- Following the open-ended conclusion, fans are eager to see Rajinikanth reprise his role as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian in a potential sequel, establishing Jailer 2 as a franchise milestone despite trailing the record-breaking 2.0 .
