This figure breaks down to approximately Rs 25 crore from Tamil Nadu, Rs 11 crore from Karnataka and an anticipated Rs 7 crore from the Andhra Pradesh-Telangana region. Prior to its release, Jailer had already captured the attention of audiences nationwide, with BookMyShow recording a sale of an impressive 900,000 tickets. Notably, the southern states exhibited the highest demand, setting the stage for a blockbuster run.

The initial reactions from critics and audiences alike have been overwhelmingly positive, hinting at Jailer potentially claiming the title of the biggest Tamil opener of 2023. As of now, this honour is held by Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan 2. The magnum opus dethroned Thalapathy Viijay’s Varisu, with an opening day collection of Rs 32 crores.

As Jailer unfolds on the silver screen, Rajinikanth and Tamannaah Bhatia seem poised to rewrite box office history, solidifying their status as cinematic powerhouses. The film’s journey has just begun, and the buzz surrounding its success shows no signs of abating. Additionally, Tamannaah’s foot-tapping song from the film, Kaavaalaa, continues to remain a rage among audiences.
