The Tamil blockbuster Jailer 2 recorded 14.15 lakh advance tickets for its opening day, while its Hindi version sold close to 40,000 tickets despite lacking a nationwide multiplex rollout.
The much‑anticipated sequel to Rajinikanth's recent hit, Jailer 2, has set a new benchmark in advance ticket sales. According to data compiled by Bollywood Hungama, 14.15 lakh tickets were booked for the film's first day of release across Tamil Nadu and other regions where the original language version is showing.
The Hindi‑dubbed version of the movie, released without a coordinated national multiplex launch, still managed to attract nearly 40,000 advance bookings. This unexpected demand highlights the star power of Rajinikanth and the growing appetite for dubbed South Indian films in the Hindi‑speaking market.
Industry analysts note that such strong pre‑release numbers could translate into robust box‑office earnings, especially in the opening weekend. The performance also underscores the effectiveness of digital ticketing platforms that have streamlined the booking process for fans nationwide.
The film is slated to hit screens nationwide from tomorrow, with distributors planning additional shows in response to the surge in demand. Cinema owners are preparing to accommodate the high footfall, particularly in major metropolitan centers.
