Tiruppur Subramaniam on #Jailer2: Everyone was scared about Part 2, and many people told me the same. But I told them that #KGF2 and #Baahubali2 were huge hits. Many Part 2 films have achieved great success. #SuperstarRajinikanth has put in a lot of effort and dedication into this film, and #Nelson has worked interestingly. The opening day was a non-holiday, and advance sales were low. But after the fans’ show, the 12 PM show became full. Every show in every area is FULL. It’s a record-breaking collection! Those who say #Rajinikanth is old are wrong. He is dedicated to his work and puts in the effort to make his films successful. From children to family audiences, everyone is coming to watch this film. Just like #Sivaji 20 years ago, audiences are coming as families to watch #Jailer2. Generally, some movies appeal only to certain audiences. In #Annatthe, youngsters didn’t like it, but aged people liked it. However, this is an all-class picture, a commercial mass entertainer. This year’s blockbuster is this film! In the 120 years since Tamil cinema began, this is the No. 1 film in Tamil Nadu. I hope it grosses ₹1,000 crore and becomes the highest-grossing Tamil movie. The 6-day gross itself is a collection Tamil cinema has never witnessed before. There are no major movies until November 6, and only small films are releasing. So, Jailer 2 will continue its steady run over the next two weeks. The captain of the ship is the director. #Nelson has done a great job with so many artists and positioned the cameos well. Around 90% of #Nelson’s films have been hits. One or two may become average, but maintaining consistent success is something we must appreciate. He understands what Rajini sir’s fans expect and what the general public expects, mixes both, and delivers a proper film. I have conveyed to Sun Pictures that if there is any chance of postponing the 4-week OTT release, they should try. They said they would definitely try. If the OTT release is postponed, the theatrical collections will be even more good. I liked every scene in the film, from beginning to end. Audiences were clapping and cheering throughout the movie, from the opening to the end. Everyone has done well, and #VidyaBalan has a different role in the film. — Tiruppur Subramaniam
