Chennai: Thalapathy Vijay’s farewell film Jana Nayagan witnessed the expected weekday slowdown at the box office, collecting an estimated ₹8 crore net in India on Day 6 (first Tuesday). Despite the dip, the H. Vinoth-directed action drama continues its impressive theatrical run and is on the verge of crossing the ₹250 crore worldwide milestone.
The film, which released with record-breaking opening weekend collections, has maintained a strong hold across Tamil Nadu and other key markets, although weekday collections have declined after the initial rush.
Day 6 collection drops to ₹8 crore
According to early trade estimates, Jana Nayagan earned ₹8 crore net in India on its sixth day, registering a decline from Monday’s collections.
The Tuesday performance reflects the normal weekday trend after a blockbuster opening weekend. Even with the slowdown, the film has amassed an estimated ₹143.40 crore net at the Indian box office within six days.
Worldwide total nears ₹250 crore
The film continues to perform strongly overseas alongside its domestic run.
With an estimated ₹167.57 crore gross in India and around ₹78.50 crore from international markets, Jana Nayagan has grossed approximately ₹246.07 crore worldwide, putting it within touching distance of the ₹250 crore milestone.
Occupancy remains steady
Despite the drop in collections, the film maintained healthy occupancy levels across Tamil-language screenings.
Trade data showed an overall Tamil occupancy of around 25.7% on Tuesday, with evening and night shows performing significantly better than morning screenings, indicating sustained audience interest.
Vijay’s farewell film continues strong run
Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan is widely regarded as Vijay’s final film before fully focusing on his political career.
The emotional value attached to the project, coupled with its commercial appeal, has helped the film remain one of the biggest Tamil releases of the year despite the expected weekday slowdown.
Film eyes another milestone
Trade analysts expect collections to remain stable through the weekdays before receiving another boost over the upcoming weekend.
If the current trend continues, Jana Nayagan is expected to comfortably cross the ₹250 crore worldwide mark, further strengthening its position among the year’s highest-grossing Tamil films.
Conclusion
Although Jana Nayagan witnessed its first significant weekday decline by collecting ₹8 crore on Day 6, the film continues to enjoy a strong theatrical run. With worldwide earnings nearing ₹250 crore, Vijay’s farewell film remains one of the biggest box office successes of 2026.
