Days after becoming the highest grossing Tamil movie worldwide, 'Jailer 2' has become the top Tamil grosser in domestic box office too.
Till now, 2.0, which had raked in ₹519.65 crore in its lifetime, held the top grosser title. This record was broken by Jailer 2 in just 17 days, minting ₹520.35 crore in gross domestic collection.
Jailer 2 is also the fastest Tamil movie to enter the ₹500 crore club in India. The movie is produced by Kalanithi Maran under the Sun Pictures banner.
In worldwide collection, Jailer 2 minted ₹790.85 crore. This means, it needs less than ₹10 crore to cross the ₹800 crore milestone. This feat is likely to be crossed on Day 18, considering it's a Sunday (fingers crossed).
The Nelson Dilipkumar directorial had last week beat the worldwide record held by Rajinikanth's 2.0, which had a lifetime global collection of around ₹665-691 crore.
In net collection, Jailer 2 collected ₹444.75 crore so far, reports Sacnilk.
On Day 17, the action comedy netted ₹9.35 crore from 8,735 shows, reports Sacnilk. This includes ₹6.7 crore from Tamil, ₹1.45 crore from Hindi, ₹90 lakh from Telugu and ₹30 lakh from Kannada.
Malayalam actor Mohanlal and Kannada star Shiva Rajkumar also feature in the film, reprising their roles from the first instalment. Other stars include Vidya Balan, S J Suryah, Mithun Chakraborty, Suraj Venjaramoodu and Jatin Sarna.
It remains to be seen if the Rajinikanth starrer can continue its dream run in the box office during Diwali, as Ranbir Kapoor epic Ramayana and Suriya movie Scene enters the theatres worldwide.
