NEW DELHI | INVC NEWS | October 20, 2026 : The box office picture changed on Monday as several films experienced the usual slowdown after the weekend. Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 continued its strong run, taking its worldwide gross to ₹477.75 crore and moving closer to the ₹500 crore milestone. Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has reportedly crossed ₹500 crore worldwide, extending its theatrical run into the third week.
The Monday numbers were less encouraging for Yami Gautam’s New Naveli and Rajkummar Rao’s Prahar: The Ujjwal Nikam Story, both of which recorded noticeable declines compared with Sunday. Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s Ranbali also saw its collections ease on the fourth day.
Here is a closer look at the reported box office performance of all five films.
Jailer 2 Box Office Collection: ₹500 Crore Within Reach
Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 remained the biggest performer among the films covered in the latest figures. On Monday, its fifth day in theatres, the film reportedly collected ₹42.35 crore net in India.
That took its cumulative domestic net collection to ₹242.25 crore. Its worldwide gross collection reached ₹477.75 crore, leaving it approximately ₹22.25 crore short of the ₹500 crore mark.
The film had collected ₹55.85 crore net in India on Sunday, meaning Monday’s business was lower as the weekend ended. Even so, the reported worldwide total puts the film within reach of another major box office milestone.
The next key question is how quickly Jailer 2 can cross ₹500 crore worldwide and whether weekday collections can remain strong enough to sustain its momentum.
New Naveli Box Office Collection: Monday Business Falls 43.2%
Yami Gautam’s New Naveli recorded a quieter Monday after its opening weekend. The film reportedly earned ₹2.50 crore net in India on its fourth day, taking its total domestic net collection to ₹14.15 crore.
Its worldwide gross collection stood at ₹19.10 crore, according to the figures provided.
The film had earned ₹4.40 crore on Sunday. Compared with that figure, Monday’s collection fell by approximately 43.2%, indicating a substantial weekday slowdown.
The coming days will be important in determining whether New Naveli can stabilise its daily collections and build on the audience interest it attracted over the weekend.
Prahar Box Office Collection: ₹11.15 Crore India Net
Rajkummar Rao’s Prahar: The Ujjwal Nikam Story also registered a decline after Sunday’s business.
The film reportedly collected ₹2 crore net in India on Monday, bringing its cumulative domestic net total to ₹11.15 crore. Its reported India gross stood at ₹13.26 crore, while the worldwide gross reached ₹15.41 crore.
On Sunday, the film had collected ₹3.65 crore. Monday’s figure therefore represented a decline of approximately 45.2%.
The weekday performance will be an important indicator of the film’s ability to maintain audience interest beyond the opening weekend. Its next few days in theatres should provide a clearer picture of its overall box office trajectory.
Ranbali Box Office Collection: ₹29.45 Crore India Net
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s Ranbali experienced a slowdown on Monday, its fourth day in theatres.
The film reportedly earned ₹5.40 crore net in India, taking its cumulative domestic net collection to ₹29.45 crore. Its India gross collection stood at ₹34.35 crore, while its worldwide gross reached ₹43.85 crore.
The Monday figure suggests that the film, too, faced the post-weekend dip seen across several releases. However, its cumulative domestic net total remained above ₹29 crore.
Its performance through the remainder of the week will help establish whether it can hold its audience and maintain a steady run at the box office.
Drishyam 3 Box Office Collection: Worldwide Total Reaches ₹548.07 Crore
Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3: The Conclusion continued to earn money in its third week, according to the reported figures.
The film collected ₹3.40 crore net in India on October 19, its 18th day in theatres, taking its cumulative domestic net collection to ₹350.75 crore.
Its reported India gross collection reached ₹420.32 crore, while its worldwide gross total climbed to ₹548.07 crore. That places the film comfortably beyond the ₹500 crore worldwide milestone.
The latest figures suggest that Drishyam 3 has continued to attract audiences even after several weeks in theatres. Its ability to maintain collections during the coming days will determine how much further its worldwide total can rise.
Monday Box Office Comparison: Five Films at a Glance
- Jailer 2: ₹42.35 crore Monday India net; ₹242.25 crore cumulative India net; ₹477.75 crore worldwide gross.
- Ranbali: ₹5.40 crore Monday India net; ₹29.45 crore cumulative India net; ₹43.85 crore worldwide gross.
- Drishyam 3: The Conclusion: ₹3.40 crore India net on Day 18; ₹350.75 crore cumulative India net; ₹548.07 crore worldwide gross.

- Prahar: The Ujjwal Nikam Story: ₹2 crore Monday India net; ₹11.15 crore cumulative India net; ₹15.41 crore worldwide gross.
These figures represent reported collections, not necessarily final audited totals. India net collections exclude entertainment tax, while gross collections include applicable taxes. Worldwide gross totals also incorporate overseas business.
The Box Office Picture
The latest figures highlight two contrasting trends. Jailer 2 is approaching ₹500 crore worldwide, while Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has already crossed that mark according to the reported totals.
For Ranbali, New Naveli and Prahar, the main challenge is sustaining collections after the weekend. Their weekday performance will offer a clearer indication of how well they can maintain momentum in theatres.
As always, box office estimates may change as additional figures emerge. Final comparisons should be based on consistently sourced and updated collection data.
