Jailer 2 day 12: Monday dip to Rs 9.45 crore, but worldwide total passes Rs 733 crore in trade estimates

The Monday figure and the milestones it crossed

The Rajinikanth film, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and released on 15 October 2026, collected Rs 9.45 crore India net across 10,450 shows on its second Monday, according to Sacnilk figures reported on 27 October. That day's total took its India net to Rs 408.15 crore, its India gross to Rs 477.85 crore, and, with overseas gross of Rs 255.50 crore, its worldwide gross to Rs 733.35 crore.

The Monday number was 63.2% below Sunday's reported Rs 25.70 crore, with overall occupancy across languages put at 19.8%. A fall of that size between Sunday and Monday is a familiar weekday pattern rather than, by itself, proof that a run has ended, but it does show how much of the film's daily total still depends on weekend footfall. The day's ticket sales were estimated at 7,14,175, taking total footfalls past 2.71 crore.

Where the Monday money came from

Tamil remained the largest contributor on day 12, with Rs 5.65 crore from 4,518 shows, followed by Telugu at Rs 2 crore, Hindi at Rs 1.40 crore and Kannada at Rs 40 lakh. State-wise gross reporting put Tamil Nadu first at Rs 4 crore, followed by Karnataka at Rs 2.35 crore, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana together at Rs 1.90 crore, Kerala at Rs 1.25 crore and the remaining Indian markets at Rs 1.50 crore.

The language split matters because it shows the film's centre of gravity: even with Hindi and Telugu versions in wide release, Tamil screenings supplied well over half of the day's net total. Occupancy figures pointed the same way, with Tamil overall occupancy higher than Hindi on the day, though both were well below weekend levels.

What the run so far does and does not prove

The second weekend had given the film momentum, with Rs 14.50 crore on Friday 23 October, Rs 24.15 crore on Saturday and Rs 25.70 crore on Sunday, after an opening week put at Rs 334.35 crore. The Monday dip therefore followed a strong weekend, not a weak one, and the question for the coming days was whether weekday collections would stabilise or keep sliding.

All of these figures are tracker estimates, not final audited producer accounts. Sacnilk itself notes that its box-office data are compiled from various sources and its own research, can differ substantially from producer figures, and carry no claim of authenticity. Readers should therefore treat Rs 733.35 crore as a dated tracker total for 12 days, and check later updates before quoting a final lifetime figure.
