Megastar Rajinikanth's Jailer 2 has reached the Rs 300-crore mark in India faster than any Tamil film before it. The Nelson Dilipkumar-directed sequel achieved the milestone in seven days, beating the previous records held by 2.0, Leo and the original Jailer, according to Sacnilk.

The record puts Jailer 2 ahead of three major Tamil releases in the race to Rs 300 crore in India

Here is how the four films compare:

1. Jailer 2 (2026): 7 days

2. 2.0 (2018): 8 days

3. Leo (2023): 11 days

4. Jailer (2023): 16 days

The sequel opened in theatres on October 15 and benefited from the extended festive period, including the Dussehra holiday. Its daily collections have since come down from the opening-week highs, but the overall total has continued to grow.
