Breaking Down The Numbers

On day 19, the biggest contribution came from the Tamil version, minting Rs 2.20 crore.
The Hindi version of the film had already faced a major jolt as the PVR-Inox chain in the northern parts of the country didn't play up the film in theatres over the OTT-window disputes. The Hindi version contributed Rs 60 Lakh on day 19.
Review
Social media and critics largely praised the film for its entertainment value.
In her review for NDTV, Latha Srinivasan wrote, "The sequel to Jailer is a solid commercial entertainer thanks to Superstar Rajinikanth. There's humour, action, music and a star who continues to command the frame, though the writing occasionally loses its way especially in the second half. Ultimately, Nelson Dilipkumar's Jailer 2 is a fun, engaging watch and with the promise of Jailer 3, the story of Tiger Muthuvel Pandian is far from over."
