Chennai, November 9, 2026: Rajinikanth's Jailer 2 has already rewritten several chapters of Tamil cinema's box office history, but one major record remained beyond its reach even after becoming Kollywood's biggest worldwide grosser. The superstar had conquered the overseas market, established new highs in neighbouring southern states and surpassed his own 2.0 at the Indian box office. Yet, Tamil Nadu's lifetime gross record continued to belong to Vijay's The Greatest of All Time (The GOAT). That final barrier has now fallen, completing an extraordinary run across South India's four major theatrical markets.
The Nelson Dilipkumar directorial had collected ₹217.75 crore gross in Tamil Nadu through Day 25, remaining just behind The GOAT's lifetime total of ₹218 crore-plus. However, with Jailer 2 adding an estimated ₹1+ crore India gross on Day 26 so far, the film has crossed the ₹218 crore mark in Tamil Nadu, surpassing Vijay's The GOAT to become the state's highest-grossing film.
Mumbai, November 9, 2026: Namit Malhotra's Ramayana dominated the Indian box office over the November 6–8 weekend, collecting 174 crore net across all languages and finishing comfortably ahead of the competition. Suriya's Scene emerged as the second-biggest performer, while three South Indian films completed the top five. Together, the five films generated ₹252.75 crore net during the three days, reflecting a strong festive weekend driven largely by two major releases.
