Jana Nayagan Box Office: Ranks 6th Among Top A-Rated Indian Openers, Beats Dhurandhar

Jana Nayagan has finally arrived, and the day 1 numbers confirm that no delay or online leak could impact the anticipation for Thalapathy Vijay’s swansong. The Tamil political thriller has opened to solid numbers at the Indian box office, and it has done so purely on the strength of Vijay’s superstardom and the emotional sentiment of the film being his last theatrical release. With a score of 40 crore+, it has registered the 6th biggest opening among the top A-rated Indian openers of all time.

The magnum opus scored 42.7 crore net at the Indian box office on its opening day. Given everything the film had to go through during its pre-release stage: an indefinite postponement, censorship complications, and a leak online before its official release, this is a fantastic number that reflects the strong and loyal fan base of Vijay.

Registers the 6th biggest A-rated opening among Indian films

With 42.7 crore, Jana Nayagan has registered the 6th biggest opening ever for an A-rated Indian film at the Indian box office. In doing so, it has surpassed Dhurandhar’s 28.6 crore to claim the 6th spot, pushing Cocktail 2 (14.1 crore) out of the top 10. It’s the second Tamil film to grace the top 10 list after Coolie (65 crore).
