'Jailer 2' Craze Takes Over Mumbai Theatres, Rajinikanth Returns As Tiger Muthuvel Pandian

Rajinikanth returns as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian in Jailer 2, as the sequel to the 2023 blockbuster brings back the superstar's signature swag, action and drama. The film reunites Rajinikanth with director Nelson Dilipkumar, with Tiger's quiet life disrupted by new enemies and the return of an idol-smuggling gang. Hrithik Roshan's entry has also sparked a strong reaction among fans at Mumbai theatres. While Jailer 2 expands the world of its predecessor with new adversaries, familiar characters and high-impact moments, the film's second half has drawn criticism for its uneven execution.
