It witnessed a drop, but managed to hold its own afterwards, bringing in ₹334.35 crore in its first week. The film collected ₹14.50 crore last Friday, ₹24.15 crore on Friday, and ₹25.70 crore over the weekend. It witnessed its first major drop this Monday.

Nonetheless, Jailer 2 had a good run since its release, beating all the Tamil films released this year, and becoming the second-highest-grossing Indian film of the year. It has also beaten Rajinikanth’s own film, 2.0, to become the highest-grossing Tamil film of all time. Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge is the highest-grossing Indian film this year.

With no competition in sight for the next few days, it remains to be seen if it sustains momentum till Diwali. Jithu Madhavan’s Suriya, Nazriya Nazim and Naslen-starrer Scene is scheduled to be released on November 6. This comes after Suriya’s two films this year, Karuppu and Vishwanath & Sons, were box office hits. Nitesh Tiwari’s Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash-starrer Ramayana also hits screens on November 5.
