Trade reports show that the film had a very good second week performance as well which tells you that there's still a lot of interest from the audience even after its opening weekend. A leading multiplex chain reported all 87 scheduled shows as housefull which suggests popularity for the movie among cinema-goers.

And the film is also approaching another major box office success. Jana Nayagan’s worldwide gross collection is estimated to have crossed the ₹300 crore mark in just 11 days (which is also one of the biggest Tamil hit films of the year). In India, the film made around ₹10.70 crore net on day 11 and seems to be holding strong in the second week.

Another big deal has been in ticketing. Jana Nayagan has crossed 4 million ticket bookings on BookMyShow, making Vijay the only Tamil superstar who has achieved this multiple times. The actor’s huge fan base and box office pull is huge.

Jana Nayagan has gained a lot of attention as a political action-based entertainment and inspired by Telugu hit Bhagavanth Kesari through action, emotional drama and an appropriate social message. But Vijay’s big screen presence and mass appeal are widely accepted as the main reasons for the movie’s continued success.

Trade analysts note that strong collections during the second week is often one of the main indicators of a movie’s long-term box office performance. As long as word of mouth is good for movies they stay open and strong so long as there’s still competition from new releases.

Supporters have posted video clips of packed cinema halls, festive celebrations, and housefull boards outside of theaters on social media are among the many videos of packed cinema halls, and even housefull boards outside theatres. Meanwhile, hashtags for #JanaNayagan and #ThalapathyVijay are still trending in the film's success and the excitement around the movie has been carried on Twitter and Facebook.

This is especially remarkable with the reported online leak a few days after release! There are no piracy fears and the audience still go to the theater so it might not be a bad thing that the film was successful.

The second week has been a positive one and trade experts say Jana Nayagan will continue to perform so well in the coming weeks if family audiences and repeat viewers continue to follow through. The film’s consistent numbers indicate that it has moved from a one-off phenomenon to an actual box office success.

Jana Nayagan continues to make more progress and Vijay is still one of the biggest box office stars in Indian cinema. The political action drama is still big box office-hopping with packed theatres, high occupancy and big collections around the world.
