2nd September 2023, Mumbai: Rajinikanth, the iconic superstar of Indian cinema, once again demonstrated his box office prowess with his action-packed Tamil film, “Jailer.” Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, this film took the theatrical world by storm upon its release on August 10.
Jailer Box Office Collection
For 23 consecutive days, “Jailer” was on a remarkable journey, captivating audiences and collecting substantial earnings. However, as it entered its fourth week, signs of slowing down at the box office became evident. On the 23rd day of its theatrical run, “Jailer” managed to collect ₹1.60 crore across all languages, contributing to its impressive domestic collection, which now stands at ₹329.83 crore. This film has been a force to reckon with in the Tamil territories right from the day of its release, and it also garnered a respectable collection in other language markets.
Jawan to be a tough competition?
Interestingly, a shift in viewing trends was observed on this particular Friday. Night shows, rather than the regular evening shows, brought in a substantial portion of the audience, accounting for 33.08 percent occupancy. Chennai remained at the forefront, contributing the maximum traffic to theaters with a 29 percent occupancy rate, followed closely by Bengaluru and Madurai. However, the forthcoming week might mark the conclusion of “Jailer’s” smooth run in theaters, as it faces competition from Shah Rukh Khan’s eagerly anticipated film, “Jawan,” scheduled for release on September 7. “Jawan” is set to release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, with advance bookings now open across India.
Rajinikanth gets bestowed with Gifts
As “Jailer” basks in the glow of its historic success, with audiences pouring in their love and admiration since day one, its impact on the cinematic landscape is undeniable. Kalanithi Maran, the chairman and founder of the Sun Group, recognized this achievement by presenting Rajinikanth with a generous gesture—a check and the choice of two cars as a gift. Rajinikanth selected the BMW X7 from the options, a testament to the film’s monumental success.
Jailer Storyline
The narrative of “Jailer” revolves around Muthuvel Pandian, an ex-jailer seeking revenge for the death of his son. This action-packed film boasts a stellar cast, including Ramya Krishnan, Vinayakan, and Yogi Babu in pivotal roles. As “Jailer” gradually concludes its successful theatrical run, it leaves an indelible mark on the world of Indian cinema, reaffirming Rajinikanth’s status as a beloved and influential figure in the film industry.
