Jana Nayagan Overtakes Karuppu Worldwide, With the Domestic Crown Just 15 Crore Away

Jana Nayagan has passed Karuppu on the worldwide table, reaching approximately 308.67 crore gross against Karuppu's 310.12 crore, a gap now inside 1.5 crore and closing daily. On the harder measure, Indian domestic gross, the film needs roughly 15 crore more to complete the same overtake, a target that looks entirely reachable at its current pace rather than a stretch.

Fifteen days in, on 215.87 crore India gross and 185.15 crore net, this is no longer really a story about whether Jana Nayagan wins the 2026 race. It's closer to a story about how completely a genuinely shaky opening week, the film fell almost 92 percent from its first day to its lowest point, got erased by a second weekend that actually held.

For Vijay's final film before stepping into full-time politics, finishing 2026 as the country's highest-grossing release would be a clean, symbolic way to close a theatrical career. The film has one obstacle left, and it's currently 15 crore wide.
