Jailer 2 beats Hanuman Ansh, closes in on Drishyam 3

Jailer 2 has also made major progress in the race among the highest-grossing Indian films of 2026. Within five days of release, it reportedly overtook Border 2, which earned around Rs 464 crore worldwide, and Hanuman Ansh, whose reported lifetime collection stands at Rs 439 crore, as per HT report.

The next major target is Drishyam 3, which has reportedly collected Rs 538 crore worldwide and continues to add to its total. Dhurandhar: The Revenge, with reported worldwide earnings of Rs 1,852 crore, remains far ahead of the Rajinikanth-starrer.

The film is also climbing the rankings of the highest-grossing Tamil movies of all time. Based on the reported figures, Jailer 2 has reached sixth place on the list. Its next targets include Ponniyin Selvan: I, which collected around Rs 488 crore worldwide, and Coolie, with reported earnings of Rs 518 crore.

After crossing Rs 600 crore, the film could challenge the collections of Leo (Rs 605 crore) and Rajinikanth’s own Jailer (Rs 609 crore). The superstar’s 2.0, which earned around Rs 691 crore worldwide, remains the highest-grossing Tamil film on the list cited.

Rajinikanth returns as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian

Produced by Sun Pictures, Jailer 2 brings Rajinikanth back as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, the character he played in the 2023 film Jailer. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the sequel follows the character as he faces a new group of antagonists.



The sequel is notable given Rajinikanth’s past reluctance to revisit some of his successful films through follow-ups. This time, he has returned to the role that became a major part of the first film’s appeal.

Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Mirnaa and Rithvik reprise their roles from the original film. The new cast members include S. J. Suryah, Mithun Chakraborty, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Vidya Balan, Anna Rajan and Jatin Sarna.

The film also features special appearances by Hrithik Roshan, Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar and Jackie Shroff. Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music. Stay tuned to see how it performs this week.
