Jailer 2 box office collection day 21: Rajinikanth film slows down ahead of Ramayana release, earns ₹466 crore in 3 weeks

Jailer 2 is directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and was released in theatres during the Dussehra window.

With three weeks behind it, Rajinikanth's Jailer 2 is now approaching the ₹500 crore mark worldwide, but its domestic box office run has begun to slow down. The film, which opened to a massive response and enjoyed a record-breaking first week, has witnessed a steady decline in collections since then. Its third-week earnings have taken a further hit, with Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi's Ramayana: Rise of a Legend arriving in theatres on November 5 to add to the competition.

Jailer 2 third week update

Rajinikanth plays a retired jailer called Tiger Muthuvel Pandian in Jailer 2.

On release day, Jailer earned ₹59.70 crore net at the domestic box office across 15,887 shows. Advance bookings for Jailer 2 began in India on October 10, five days before release. The film maintained strong collections despite the usual weekday slowdown, taking its India net total to ₹334.35 crore in just its first week of release. The film collected ₹95.55 crore in its second week, indicating a sharp dip in momentum, particularly on weekdays.

The third week saw more dip in collections, except for the weekend when it picked up some pace because of no major release before the big Diwali week. The latest update on Sacnilk states that the film collected exactly ₹3 crore on Wednesday. This brings its total haul for the third week to ₹36.15 crore, and the total box office collection after three weeks to ₹466.05 crore.

Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and produced by Sun Pictures, Jailer 2 is the sequel to Rajinikanth's 2023 blockbuster Jailer. The actor reprises his role as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian in the action drama, which features a cast including Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Vidya Balan and Mithun Chakraborty, alongside special appearances by several stars. Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music. The film was released in theatres on October 15, 2026.

After release, Nelson Dilipkumar thanked audiences for loving his film. He shared a picture of Rajinikanth and music composer Anirudh Ravichander on X and wrote, “Theatres are going bonkers! Thalaivar magic hits different. Thank you, dear audience, for the phenomenal love and reception for #Jailer2. Nothing beats seeing the audience celebrate it like this! Thank you all for the love and support.”
