No National Chains, Jailer 2 Still Dominates Hindi Box Office
17 Oct
Summary
- Jailer 2 Hindi collections reached approx. Rs. 10 crore in 3 days.
- The film achieved strong numbers without a national chain release.
- Hrithik Roshan's cameo is appreciated and could boost momentum.
The Rajinikanth-starrer Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, has achieved significant success in the Hindi market, collecting approximately Rs. 10 crore within its initial three days. Early estimates indicate a strong surge on Saturday, with collections expected between Rs. 4 crore and Rs. 4.50 crore. This performance is particularly noteworthy as the film secured its box office numbers without a release across major national cinema chains.
The comic action thriller is projected to exceed Rs. 14-15 crore in its opening weekend. The bulk of its business is reportedly coming from single-screen theatres and non-national multiplexes. Industry observers suggest that a national chain release could have potentially pushed the three-day total to around Rs. 20 crore and the weekend collections above Rs. 30 crore.
Sun Pictures' decision to bypass national chains is seen by some as a misstep, potentially hindering the film's opportunity to become a major pan-India blockbuster. The film features a cameo appearance by Hrithik Roshan, which has garnered appreciation from moviegoers and might have fueled stronger momentum had it been available in national chains.
