Vijay’s Jana Nayagan is now in the later stage of its theatrical run, but the film is facing a clear slowdown during weekdays. After showing some improvement over its third weekend, the action thriller saw a sharp drop on its third Monday. Jana Nayagan collected Rs 0.75 crore net in India on Day 19 from 1,976 shows. With this collection, the film’s India net total has reached Rs 193.05 crore, while its India gross collection stands at Rs 224.89 crore, according to Sacnilk. The third Monday has so far recorded the film’s lowest daily collection.
The drop comes after a better third weekend for the Vijay starrer. The film earned Rs 2.55 crore on Day 17 and Rs 3.60 crore on Day 18. However, the Monday decline shows that weekday footfalls are now becoming weaker as the film moves further into its theatrical run.
Despite the slowdown in India, Jana Nayagan continues to maintain a strong worldwide collection. According to the latest figures, the film has collected Rs 318.09 crore worldwide. Its overseas gross currently stands at around Rs 93.20 crore.
The film is also facing competition from newer releases. Lokesh Kanagaraj’s DC and Varun Tej’s Korean Kanakaraju arrived in theatres on August 7. The arrival of new films has added pressure on Jana Nayagan, particularly as theatres have to divide screens and show timings between several releases.
Jana Nayagan opened strongly with Rs 42.70 crore on Day 1. It collected Rs 21.15 crore on Day 2, Rs 28.90 crore on Day 3 and Rs 32 crore on Day 4. The film then earned Rs 10.65 crore on Day 5, Rs 8 crore on Day 6, Rs 6.10 crore on Day 7 and Rs 4.05 crore on Day 8. Its first week ended with Rs 153.55 crore net in India.
The second week added Rs 31.60 crore. In Week 3, the film has collected Rs 1 crore on Day 16, Rs 2.55 crore on Day 17, Rs 3.60 crore on Day 18 and Rs 0.75 crore on Day 19.
Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan stars Vijay, Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Gautham Vasudev Menon and Reba Monica John. The film has music by Anirudh Ravichander.
Released on July 23, 2026, Jana Nayagan has also attracted attention as Vijay’s expected final theatrical release before he shifts his focus towards politics.
