Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' crosses ₹100 crore worldwide in two days

The Tamil action‑political thriller Jana Nayagan, starring Thalapathy Vijay, opened on 23 July 2026 amid massive fan celebrations and pre‑release hype. The film became the first Indian movie to record three consecutive releases with over one‑million ticket pre‑sales on a major online platform. It opened with a domestic net of roughly ₹41–₹42 crore, but collections fell about 50 % on day 2, bringing the India net to ₹63.85 crore. Despite the dip, total worldwide gross reached over ₹100 crore within 48 hours, with overseas markets contributing around ₹37–₹38 crore. Mixed critical reviews contrasted with strong audience turnout, especially in Tamil Nadu. A brief scene featuring K‑pop posters sparked a viral debate online, adding a non‑box‑office cultural flashpoint to the film’s release.
