# Jailer 2 crosses ₹710 crore, becomes highest-grossing Tamil film ever 2026-10-26T06:18:08+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 4 independent outlets Rajinikanth-starrer *Jailer 2* has crossed ₹710 crore worldwide gross on Sunday (25 October 2026), its 11th day in theatres, becoming the highest-grossing Tamil film of all time. The Nelson Dilipkumar-directed sequel surpassed *2.0*'s eight-year-old record of ₹691 crore. It earned ₹25.70 crore net in India on Sunday, taking its domestic net to ₹398.70 crore and India gross to ₹466.85 crore, according to Sacnilk. Overseas markets contributed ₹243.50 crore to the worldwide total. Tamil shows accounted for 67.5% of Sunday's domestic earnings, with 50.1% occupancy. The film is the first Kollywood production to cross the ₹700-crore mark and the seventh South Indian film globally to reach it. It earlier beat *Leo* (₹605 crore) and the first *Jailer* (₹604 crore). Trade estimates suggest the ₹800-crore milestone may be within reach. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All four outlets frame 'Jailer 2' crossing ₹710 crore as a commercial milestone, and none carries a pro-government or critical slant on this story. Hindustan Times and NDTV lead with the record-breaking feat against '2.0', while Filmibeat and News9Live lead with the precise Day 11 India net of ₹398.70 crore and worldwide gross of ₹710.35 crore. The two latter outlets also break down language-wise collections and per-show averages from Sacnilk, adding a level of granularity the first two omit. Hindustan Times speculatively names ₹800 and ₹900 crore milestones as within reach, a note absent from the other three. Across all sources, the coverage is uniform trade-reporting, no editorial judgement is offered on the film's content or its star. The next figure to watch is the ₹800 crore worldwide mark, which Hindustan Times flags as plausible but no source confirms a date for. ## Coverage Coverage: 4 sources, 4 neutral - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Leads with record-breaking feat against '2.0', raises ₹800 crore possibility. - ndtv.com (neutral report) Brief wire-style confirmation of the record and milestones. - filmibeat.com (neutral report) Leads with Day 11 India net of ₹398.70 crore, provides language-wise details. - news9live.com (neutral report) Leads with ₹710 crore gross, includes second-weekend total of ₹64.35 crore.
