Originally slated to grace theaters on August 11, 2023, “Jailer” has been embraced with open arms by audiences, propelling it towards astronomical success. At the Indian box office, the film has raked in an impressive 300 crore rupees and is poised to inch closer to the coveted 600 crore mark on a global scale. On its 14th day in theatres, “Jailer” amassed a formidable 3.65 crore rupees, bolstering its Indian box office collection to 295.65 crore rupees. Steered by the iconic Rajinikanth in the lead role, the film navigates the narrative of Muthuvel Pandian, an unyielding yet benevolent jailer who embarks on a mission to thwart a gang’s attempt to engineer their leader’s escape from confinement. As the stage is set for “Jailer” to make its digital bow, cinephiles and Rajinikanth aficionados can mark their calendars for the anticipated event. With the film’s magnetic storyline and Rajinikanth’s inimitable presence, the OTT release is poised to be another milestone in “Jailer’s” journey of cinematic triumph.
