Corroboration: 5 independent outlets

Rajinikanth‘s ‘Jailer 2‘ has crossed Rs 500 crore in domestic gross collections within 15 days of its release on 15 October. The Nelson Dilipkumar-directed sequel collected Rs 5.90 crore net on day 15 (Thursday, 29 October), bringing its India net to Rs 429.55 crore and domestic gross to Rs 502.65 crore, according to tracking portal Sacnilk. Times of India reports day 16 (Friday, 30 October) net collection at Rs 0.69 crore, taking the total India net to Rs 430.24 crore and gross to Rs 503.46 crore. The Tamil version contributed the largest share on day 15 with Rs 3.20 crore from 4,462 shows, followed by Telugu at Rs 1.40 crore, Hindi at Rs 1.10 crore, and Kannada at Rs 20 lakh. Filmibeat adds worldwide gross has reached Rs 765.15 crore, with overseas markets contributing an estimated Rs 262.50 crore. NDTV notes the Hindi version faced disruption due to a PVR-Inox dispute in northern India over OTT window terms. Final figures for Friday, 30 October, are yet to be reported.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

All five outlets report identical box office figures from Sacnilk for day 15: Rs 5.90 crore net, domestic gross Rs 502.65 crore, and India net Rs 429.55 crore. filmibeat and NDTV provide the widest detail, including the 18.1 percent drop from the previous day and overseas gross of Rs 262.50 crore. Pinkvilla’s headline claims the film grossed Rs 475 crore, visibly lower than the Rs 502.65 crore gross reported in its own text, a discrepancy. Times of India adds day 16 data (Rs 0.69 crore) showing the third-week slowdown continuing, while NDTV flags the Hindi version’s PVR-Inox dispute in northern India. The coverage is uniform, neutral reporting, Pinkvilla’s headline error is the most notable variation.
