Jailer 2 has become the highest-grossing Tamil film ever, surpassing Rs 755 crore worldwide within 14 days and overtaking 2.0's Rs 691 crore, but it has not reached the Rs 1,000 crore mark achieved by Hindi, Telugu and Kannada films such as KGF: Chapter 2, RRR, Pushpa 2: The Rule, Jawan, Pathaan, Kalki 2898 AD and the Dhurandhar franchise. The film opened with Rs 59.70 crore net in India on Day 1, crossed Rs 400 crore net domestically by Day 12, and collected Rs 57.30 crore from advance bookings across 31,812 screens.
Director Karthik Subbaraj says the Rs 1,000 crore milestone cannot be targeted or engineered, calling it a phenomenon driven by global audience response rather than planning. He cited KGF and Pushpa as examples of films that achieved massive success without that initial goal. Vijay's Jana Nayagan, delayed from January 9, 2026 and leaked online on April 9, released on July 23 to Rs 50 crore gross in India and Rs 183 crore worldwide on Day 1, finishing with Rs 325 crore worldwide.
