When Vijay farewell film Jana Nayagan was announced, many expected it to become a huge blockbuster. But as the release came closer, several issues surrounded the film and raised doubts about its box office potential.
The remake tag became a major talking point. On top of that, the film went through multiple postponements, leaked online before release, and also received criticism for its making. Many believed these setbacks would hurt its theatrical run badly.
However, Vijay has once again proved why he remains one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema. His massive fan following has turned Jana Nayagan into a strong box office performer despite all the negativity.
The film enjoyed a sensational opening weekend and, more importantly, has continued to attract audiences even on weekdays. This steady momentum is now becoming the biggest strength of the film.
According to trade reports, Jana Nayagan has already collected around 245 crore worldwide. It is expected to cross the 250 crore mark today with ease.
The biggest advantage for the film is the lack of major Tamil releases this weekend. If the current trend continues, the movie is likely to enjoy another strong run at the ticket windows.
All eyes are now on the coming weekend. If Vijay delivers another solid weekend performance, Jana Nayagan is expected to comfortably enter the prestigious 300 crore club, making its box office journey one of the biggest surprises of the year.
