Rajinikanth’s 169th film Jailer was released on August 10 after much anticipation from fans. Jailer marks a collaboration between Thalaivar and director Nelson Dilipkumar. After the film managed to mint a hefty sum on its opening day at the box office, here’s how the film has performed on August 11, its second day.

Jailer continues its upward trend
