Despite challenges like online leaks, the film’s advance bookings have remained stronger than expected. Especially in the Tamil market, the audience’s enthusiasm is at its peak and the brisk sales of tickets have made the film one of the most talked about releases of the year.

Which language is getting maximum support from the audience?
The Tamil version is showing the strongest performance in advance booking figures. Tamil language has the biggest contribution in total pre-sales. After this comes the Telugu version. At the same time, the number of shows in Hindi is limited, hence the booking there is slowly gaining momentum. There are still about 48 hours left for the release of the film, which is considered most important in terms of advance booking. Trade experts believe that if the current pace continues, ‘Jana Nayakan’ can easily cross the Rs 15 crore mark in advance booking even without block seats.
