Jailer 2 has crossed the Rs 300 crore net mark in India in just seven days and is now set to wrap up an extended first week of around Rs 326 crore net. After a festive run through Ayudha Puja and Vijayadashami, Rajinikanth’s action sequel saw its first real weekday test on Wednesday and is expected to collect around Rs 17.5 crore net in India on Day 8, Thursday, October 22.
Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and produced by Sun Pictures, Jailer 2 released on October 15, 2026. Worldwide, the film is estimated to be close to Rs 565 crore gross, and it has already gone past the lifetime total of Coolie. Here is the full Day 8 box office report.

Vijayadashami gave the film a big boost on Tuesday, with collections rising to Rs 46.80 crore net, higher than the Ayudha Puja Monday.

Jailer 2 Worldwide Box Office Collection
Jailer 2 earned Rs 477.75 crore gross worldwide in its first five days, with Rs 194 crore coming from overseas markets. With a strong Dussehra Tuesday and steady numbers abroad, the worldwide total is estimated to be close to Rs 565 crore gross after Day 8.
That means Jailer 2 has already passed Coolie’s lifetime worldwide gross of Rs 518 crore. It is now chasing three big targets: Jailer at Rs 604.74 crore, Leo at Rs 605.90 crore and 2.0 at Rs 691 crore.
| Film | Worldwide Gross (Lifetime) |
|---|---|
| 2.0 (2018) | Rs 691 crore |
| Leo (2023) | Rs 605.90 crore |
| Jailer (2023) | Rs 604.74 crore |
| Jailer 2 (2026) | Close to Rs 565 crore in 8 days (estimate) |
| Coolie (2025) | Rs 518 crore |
If the film holds well over the coming weekend, it is likely to cross both Jailer and Leo by Sunday or early next week, which would make it the second-highest-grossing Tamil film ever, behind only 2.0.
