Thalapathy Vijay’s much-awaited film ‘Jana Nayagan’ has taken a flying start at the box office even before hitting the big screen. With a full week still left for its theatrical release on January 9, 2026, the film has already crossed ₹15 crore in worldwide advance ticket sales, reflecting the massive anticipation surrounding Vijay’s final on-screen appearance before his full-time political journey.
🎬 Strong Early Box Office Momentum
Early booking trends show impressive demand both in India and overseas markets. Although advance ticket sales have only opened in selected regions so far, the film has already delivered strong numbers.
In India, limited booking counters across Kerala and Karnataka have generated around ₹3 crore, despite major markets like Tamil Nadu yet to open. Trade experts expect a sharp surge once full-scale bookings begin across southern India and other key territories.
🌍 Overseas Markets Lead the Charge
Internationally, ‘Jana Nayagan’ is witnessing even bigger traction. Opening-day pre-sales alone are estimated at ₹11–12 crore, driven mainly by audiences in North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia. With more international screens still to go live, the advance booking total is projected to rise significantly in the coming days.
🎥 What ‘Jana Nayagan’ Promises
Directed by H. Vinoth, the film blends political drama with high-octane action. Vijay plays a powerful and ideologically driven character, adding emotional weight to a storyline that resonates strongly with his real-life political transition. For fans, the movie represents not just entertainment but also a farewell to Vijay the superstar as he steps into a new chapter of public life.
🌟 Star-Studded Cast and Top-Tier Crew
