Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan Creates Box Office Storm: Advance Bookings Surge Past ₹25 Crore Ahead of Pongal Release

(MasalaMirror.com Exclusive – January 5, 2026)

Thalapathy Vijay fans are in full mass mode as his much-awaited political action thriller Jana Nayagan gears up for a massive Pongal release on January 9, 2026. Billed as Vijay’s final film before he dives full-time into politics with his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), the movie is already shattering records with advance bookings crossing ₹25 crore worldwide for Day 1 – and that’s without full openings in Tamil Nadu yet!

The explosive trailer, dropped on January 3, has set social media on fire, clocking millions of views in hours and showcasing Vijay in a never-seen-before powerful avatar – fiery dialogues, high-voltage action, and that signature Thalapathy swag. Directed by H. Vinoth and backed by Anirudh Ravichander’s electrifying score, Jana Nayagan promises to be an emotional rollercoaster and a fitting cinematic farewell.

Sizzling Advance Booking Breakdown:

• Worldwide Gross: Over ₹25 crore and climbing fast for opening day, with experts predicting even bigger numbers once TN bookings kick off.
• Overseas On Fire: North America alone has raked in around $400,000 from premieres, while UK, Australia, and other territories contribute heavily to ₹11-12 crore overseas.
• Karnataka Leads Domestically: Massive sell-outs in Bengaluru and other cities, setting the pace for the rest of India.
• Kerala & Other Markets: Strong response, with dubbed versions in Telugu (Jana Nayakudu) and Hindi (Jana Neta) adding to the hype.

The film boasts a stellar cast – Pooja Hegde as the leading lady, Bollywood’s Bobby Deol as the intense antagonist (reminding fans of his Animal vibe), and power-packed supporting roles by Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Narain, and Mamitha Baiju.

From sold-out premiere shows abroad to fans flooding theaters for FDFS (First Day First Show), the Vijay mania is unstoppable. Celebrations are already underway, with Thalapathy supporters turning booking counters into mini-festivals!

As Jana Nayagan clashes with other biggies this Pongal, one thing is clear: Thalapathy Vijay is set to deliver his biggest opening ever. This isn’t just a movie – it’s a celebration of a superstar’s legendary journey!
