Chief Minister and actor C. Josephj Vijay’s farewell film, ‘Jana Nayagan’, has crossed ₹300 crore in worldwide theatrical collections, according to the film’s producers and trade estimates.
The milestone was achieved within less than two weeks of the film’s release, making it one of the fastest Tamil films of the year to reach the mark. The achievement comes despite the film receiving mixed responses from critics and sections of the audience.
Trade analysts say the film has benefited from strong audience interest generated by Vijay’s decision to step away from acting and focus on his political career. Fans have continued to support the film in theatres, helping it maintain steady collections both in India and overseas.
With its latest earnings, ‘Jana Nayagan’ has joined the list of Vijay’s highest-grossing films. Industry trackers expect the film to add further to its total in the coming days and potentially emerge as one of the top-grossing Tamil releases of 2026.
The film’s commercial performance is being viewed as another example of Vijay’s strong box office appeal, demonstrating that his popularity continues to translate into significant theatrical collections even in an increasingly review-driven market.
