Jailer has also managed to cross Rs 500 crore worldwide. As per industry analyst Manobala Vijayabalan, the Rajinikanth film crossed the big mark on its 10th day of release. It also became the third Tamil film to enter the club after 2.0 and Ponniyin Selvan: I. Jailer is the second-fastest film to cross the Rs 500 mark, after Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar’s 2.0 which earned the big number in just seven days.

The Nelson Dilipkumar directorial also stars Tamannaah Bhatia in a pivotal role and tells the story of a man who is out to avenge his cop son’s death. The film also stars Mohanlal, Jackie Shroff and Shivarajkumar in significant roles. Besides them, the movie also features Priyanka Mohan, Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Vasanth Ravi and Vinayakan.

Pointing out that Rajinikanth and Nelson Dilipkumar rediscover the alchemy of a good masala film, the Indian Express’ Kirubhakar Purushothaman wrote in his review of the film: “Jailer is Rajinikanth’s version of Kamal Haasan’s Vikram, but with a twist. Saying that doesn’t take away anything from this fun-filled entertainer.”
