News India Live, Digital Desk: the date is 12 December 2025Today we will talk about that person whose age is increasing, but his stardom remains the same, Yes, we are talking about superstars Rajinikanth (Rajinikanth).
Every Friday new records are made and broken in South Cinema. ‘Leo’ came, ‘Jailor’ came and went, but there is one film of Rajinikanth whose breaking the ‘First Week Record’ is still like chewing iron gram. There is often a debate among Rajinikanth’s fans that “Which is Anna’s film with the biggest opening?”
Most people answer ‘Jailer’And why not? Jailer, directed by Nelson, made money at the box office, But friends, if we ‘Earnings of the first week’ If we look at the statistics, the winner is not the ‘jailer’, but ‘2.0’ (Robot 2) Is.
Let us clear this confusion in simple language.
Why ‘2.0’ is still the ‘father’ of the box office?
Remember the year 2018? Jab film directed by Shankar ‘2.0’ Was released. In this film, Rajinikanth came as ‘Chitti’ and ‘Vaseegaran’, and the villain opposite him was Akshay Kumar (in the bird role).
Reports suggest that this film has First 7 days (First Week) around the world in 500 crores (In some places up to Rs 520 crore) was collected. This is a number which even today is a dream for big pan-India films to touch.
What happened to the ‘jailer’?
No Doubt, coming in 2023 ‘jailer’ Was a huge blockbuster. This gave a new boost to Rajinikanth’s career. But according to reports, the first week’s worldwide collection of ‘Jailor’ is around 375 to 450 crores Was between.
That is, Jailer was very brilliant, but it could not leave behind the pace of ‘Chitti’ in the first week.
What is the reason behind this?
You might wonder why this happened? So there is a simple reason for this
- Magic of 3D: 2.0 was a visual treat and 3D tickets cost more, making the collection look bigger.
- Two big superstars: Due to the presence of Akshay Kumar with Rajinikanth, there was a huge crowd in the Hindi belt (North India), whereas Jailer was completely South centric.
