Jailer hit the screens worldwide on August 10 with an opening figure of ₹48 crore nett in India in all languages. It slowed down on weekdays but gained momentum on Sunday with collection of ₹ 42 crore. After collecting ₹ 36.5 crore on the Independence Day on Tuesday, it slowed down once again with ₹15 crore on Wednesday and ₹10 crore on Thursday. Looking at the craze for the film, it is clear it will comfortably cross the ₹250 crore mark in few days and will then aim for the ₹300 crore mark.

Jailer is little behind Sunny Deol's Gadar 2, which released a day later and currently stands at ₹283 crore. Collectively, both the films, along with Akshay Kumar's OMG 2, are contributing in boosting the film business once again after the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
