This exceptional performance highlights the immense popularity and enduring appeal of Rajinikanth as a cinematic icon.
Manobala Vijayabalan took to Twitter to share the detailed box office breakdown of ‘Jailer.’ In its opening week, the film amassed a staggering ₹450.80 crore worldwide, and in the second week, it continued its dominance with an additional ₹124.18 crore in global earnings.

The film’s relentless success trajectory saw it crossing the remarkable ₹600 crore global box office gross after just 18 days in theaters, positioning itself as the second-fastest Tamil film to achieve this feat, closely following the iconic ‘2.0’ starring Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar, which was released in 2018.

The resounding success of ‘Jailer’ has not only set new benchmarks in Indian cinema but has also paved the way for celebrations and accolades.

In a gesture of appreciation for their outstanding contribution to the film’s success, Rajinikanth and the ‘Jailer’ team were presented with luxury cars by the film’s makers in Chennai, marking a fitting tribute to the film’s remarkable journey.
As ‘Jailer’ continues to captivate audiences and conquer box office milestones, it reaffirms Rajinikanth’s enduring status as a legendary figure in Indian cinema.
