Jana Nayagan box office collection day 5: Vijay’s film records massive 68% drop, stumbles on first Monday

According to Sacnilk, Jana Nayagan opened on a decent note, collecting around ₹42 crore on its first day. However, the film recorded a sharp 50% drop on its second day, earning approximately ₹21 crore. It managed to recover over the weekend, collecting ₹28.90 crore on Saturday and ₹32 crore on Sunday, taking its weekend total to nearly ₹60 crore. Despite the improvement, the film has now failed the crucial Monday test, with collections dropping significantly.

On its fifth day, Jana Nayagan witnessed a 68% decline compared to Sunday's earnings and collected an estimated ₹10.15 crore across all languages. Of this, ₹8.40 crore came from the Tamil version, ₹1.20 crore from the Hindi version and ₹0.55 crore from the Telugu version. With this, the film's total domestic net collection has reached approximately ₹134 crore, putting it within touching distance of the ₹150 crore mark. The coming weekdays will be crucial in determining whether the film can maintain a steady run at the box office.

Directed by H. Vinoth, Jana Nayagan is Vijay's final film before stepping away from acting to focus on politics full-time. The film was initially slated for a January release but was delayed after it could not secure certification from the CBFC in time. During the delay, Vijay's political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), went on to win the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, following which he took oath as the Chief Minister of the state.
