Rajinikanth’s *Jailer 2* grossed an estimated Rs 582.45 crore worldwide during its first seven days in theatres, according to figures from industry tracker Sacnilk reported by The Indian Express.

The Nelson Dilipkumar-directed action sequel, released on October 15, opened with Rs 59.70 crore in net collections in India. Its domestic earnings declined on the second day before rising over the weekend and during the Dussehra holiday. On Wednesday, its seventh day, the film earned an estimated Rs 28.15 crore net from 14,470 shows, taking its cumulative India net collection to Rs 317.20 crore. Its India gross was reported at Rs 371.45 crore.

The Tamil version has accounted for the largest share of domestic business, followed by the Telugu and Hindi versions. The film’s Hindi release was limited after major multiplex chains reportedly declined to screen it amid a dispute over the proposed interval between its theatrical and streaming releases.

The sequel returns Rajinikanth to the role of Tiger Muthuvel Pandian. Its cast also includes Mohanlal, Shivarajkumar, Ramya Krishnan and Jackie Shroff, with Anirudh Ravichander composing the music. Before release, producer G. Dhananjheyan told The Hindu that the industry had set a Rs 1,000 crore benchmark for the film. After seven days, the latest reported total remained below the reported worldwide lifetime gross of the 2023 original, *Jailer*, of about Rs 605 crore.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Correct the contradictory final sentence to state only that the seven-day total remained below the original film’s reported lifetime gross. - "After seven days, it had exceeded the reported worldwide lifetime gross of the 2023 original, *Jailer*, of about Rs 605 crore neither yet nor conclusively; the latest reported total remained below that figure.": The sentence first says the sequel exceeded the original’s gross, contradicting both the stated figures and its own final clause; Rs 582.45 crore remains below about Rs 605 crore.
