Blockbuster Goodbye to Vijay Loading | Jana Nayagan Advance Booking

Vijay made his debut as an actor in 1992, and over the years, he has delivered several memorable hits and blockbusters in the Tamil film industry. However, his biggest movie is Jana Nayagan, marking his final on-screen appearance, after which the actor will retire and become a full-time politician. His fans understand this very well and hence are currently leaving no stone unturned in making Jana Nayagan one of his biggest grossers ever, as seen from the response to Jana Nayagan advance booking overseas. 

Jana Nayagan’s Edge Over The Raja Saab

Thalapathy Vijay is retiring, but not before giving a fight to one of India’s biggest superstars, Prabhas, by clashing his action drama with the horror-comedy film, The Raja Saab. However, this fight is not looking as tough as expected due to this horror-comedy being the weakest film of Prabhas in his post-Baahubali phase, barring Radhe Shyam, of course.

Director of The Raja Saab, Maruthi, is not someone whom fans trust highly, judging by the Rs 15 crore lifetime worldwide gross of his last movie, Pakka Commercial. Many other factors alongside this make The Raja Saab one of the least hyped movies of Prabhas, as well as seemingly the weakest in his future lineup. 

Standing against this film, Thalapathy Vijay is playing on the front foot, as Jana Nayagan is his final as well as the most commercial film of his career, and that’s how he gets an edge. A better competition would have been there if The Raja Saab were highly commercial or the last movie of Prabhas. 

Anyway, Jana Nayagan is on a way bigger stage than The Raja Saab, considering their overseas advance booking. However, the tables may turn as the Prabhas starrer’s bookings open in the domestic market.

An Extraordinary Response in Jana Nayagan Pre Sale Booking Overseas

By the time this article went live, the Jana Nayagan pre sale booking had shown tickets sold worth $2.90M (Rs 26cr) overseas, which are now eyeing to hit one of the biggest advance booking marks of his career. These numbers are extraordinary even if you do not consider the hardcore Tamil markets like Singapore where records are guaranteed to be smashed. One such huge market for Tamil films is Malaysia, where Jana Nayagan sold over 60,000 tickets worth $340K gross in three hours of the starting of its advance booking, showing a never-before-seen phenomenon for an Indian or Hollywood movie, considering only non-local movies. Additionally, in Sri Lanka, Jana Nayagan has sold 10,000 tickets till now.

The Jana Nayagan South Indian movie presales have been showing a great trend in the western markets too, especially after the trailer release. In the UK and Europe, the film is showing a historic hype, as it has grossed over $1.2M in its Day 1 advances. Specifically in the UK, over 55,000 tickets have been sold for Day 1. Such a trend in this region will ensure the biggest opening for an Indian movie, leaving behind the current highest, which is Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan. In North America, the bookings are huge for a Tamil film, currently showing a gross of just $650K from 30,000 tickets sold, only lower than Coolie.

Among the other major markets, Jana Nayagan’s Australia advance booking stands at 5.5K tickets sold in the HOYTS cinema chain for $193K gross. Additionally, it is set for a massive start in New Zealand, where the political action drama has sold 1100 tickets, approximately.

Another huge market where the film’s overseas gross gets a huge contribution is the Gulf, where it is set to record a huge Day 1 too. Jana Nayagan has sold tickets worth $380K gross in this region till now. Additionally, the film has seen great advances in France too, with 10,000 admissions till now. Overall, the Jana Nayagan worldwide advance booking gross stands at over Rs 30 crore with 3.5 days left for release.

Jana Nayagan India Advance Booking

By the time this article goes live, the Jana Nayagan India advance booking is yet to open in huge markets like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. As of his home market, limited advance bookings recently began in Tamil Nadu, where Jana Nayagan sold over 60,000 tickets across 200 shows in just a few minutes. Such a response ensures a bumper opening for the superstar in the state.

Among other belts where the advance booking is currently running, the Vijay starrer has performed greatly in Karnataka, where it sold tickets worth Rs 4.75 crore. Following it is Kerala, showing a gross of Rs 2 crore, with the remaining Indian states contributing only Rs 20 lacs.

Driving Factor Behind Jana Nayagan Advance Booking

Whether it be Leo, The Greatest of All Time, or any other Vijay starrer that you can remember, the advance bookings have always been very strong and among the biggest in Kollywood. In Jana Nayagan advance booking, not a similar but a bigger hype from the earlier movies of the Thalapathy can be seen due to it being his last film.

While excitement is obvious in traditional markets like Tamil Nadu and Kerala, other territories like the North India region and Karnataka are having a decent buzz. What is beneficial for the superstar is Jana Nayagan getting a full-fledged multiplex release in North India, the first and the last such moment in his career, which will be a key factor of the film’s performance in this market.
