Vijay’s Jana Nayagan is projected to open at ₹80-100 crore worldwide, backed by ₹15.09 crore of Indian advance bookings. The film will play on about 2,500 Indian screens, with over 5.01 lakh tickets sold via BookMyShow.

Why this matters

The advance-sales build follows Jana Nayagan ticket-price allegations that put Tamil Nadu cinema enforcement in focus and a prior signal reporting 7.37 lakh opening-day tickets ahead of the July 23 release.

Footfall is steady, with 447 signals recorded in the past 90 days.
