# Jailer 2 Day 16: Low Friday, worldwide gross Rs 776.95 cr 2026-10-31T02:07:06+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Rajinikanth's ‘Jailer 2’ recorded its lowest Friday (30 October) earnings in India on Day 16, collecting Rs 5.50 crore net across 8,079 shows, according to trade tracker Sacnilk. The film's total India net collection now stands at Rs 435.40 crore, with domestic gross at Rs 509.45 crore. The worldwide gross has reached Rs 776.95 crore, including Rs 3 crore from overseas on 30 October, taking the overseas total to Rs 267.50 crore. The sequel has widened its lead over the 2023 original, surpassing it by Rs 243.21 crore at the corresponding stage. ‘Jailer 2’ had earlier become the highest-grossing Tamil film worldwide, collecting Rs 710.35 crore within 11 days. The Tamil version contributed Rs 3.75 crore on 30 October, while Hindi earned Rs 1 crore, Telugu Rs 55 lakh and Kannada Rs 20 lakh. Domestic collections saw a 12 per cent drop from Thursday's Rs 6.25 crore. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the film stars Rajinikanth, Jackie Shroff, SJ Suryah, Vidya Balan, Ramya Krishnan and Mithun Chakraborty. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three outlets present near-identical trade data from Sacnilk, framing the Day 16 drop as a routine slowdown rather than a setback, with focus on the Rs 800 crore worldwide milestone. India TV and News9 lead with the lowest Friday figure and the percentage decline, while The Times of India foregrounds the Rs 243 crore lead over the original. Each reports the same 12 per cent dip and language-wise split, with no outlet questioning the numbers or the film's performance. The uniform coverage offers no critical or promotional angle beyond box office tracking. The next concrete point is whether weekend crowds reverse the slide, as News9 notes the film 'needs the weekend crowds to revive its run'. ## Coverage Coverage: 3 sources, 3 neutral - indiatvnews.com (neutral report) Leads with lowest Friday, presents trade data without slant. - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Leads with Rs 243 crore lead, straight trade reporting. - news9live.com (neutral report) Highlights 12 per cent slip, neutral tone.
