Rajinikanth's Jailer 2 continues to collect box office, surpassing Toxic and becoming the biggest South Indian hit of the year

Rajinikanth has presented his fans with the biggest film of the year. His new movie 'Jailer 2' has not even been out for a week and is continuously setting records at the box office. Even at the age of 75, the Tamil superstar is demonstrating his brilliant success, which has allowed the film to earn significant revenue as of Monday.

According to Sakencilk, on Monday, 'Jailer 2' collected approximately 42.35 crore rupees in India. The film's total net revenue in India reached 242.25 crore rupees. On Monday, the film was screened in 14,976 theaters across the country, with an occupancy rate of about 48.8%, indicating high audience interest even on a weekday.

The film is most popular in the Tamil language, having currently earned 175.10 crore rupees in the Tamil version. The figures for the Tamil version are higher than those for the Telugu and Hindi versions, which is partly explained by the smaller number of screenings in other languages, but it still demonstrates impressive earnings.

Regarding global collections, the film brought in 283.75 crore rupees in India over five days, and cumulatively worldwide, it has already earned 194 crore rupees. Currently, the film's total revenue stands at 477.75 crore rupees, and the movie is proving successful outside the country.

'Jailer 2' has become the highest-grossing Tamil and South Indian film at the beginning of 2026. Before this, the record was held by the Kannada star Yash's film 'Toxic', which earned 342 crore rupees globally. Rajinikanth's film broke this record as early as Sunday. The movie is now approaching the 500 crore mark.

Previously, the most profitable film of the Tamil superstar was 'Jailer 2.0' and 'Jailer', which together generated a global business of 600–700 crore rupees. If 'Jailer 2' exceeds the 500 crore threshold, it will be another important milestone in his career, and it remains to be seen whether he will reach this goal.
