Jayanti 2 has officially wrapped its theatrical run after four weeks in cinemas, closing with a net collection of ₹5.29 crore at the Indian box office — a result that places it as the seventh highest-grossing Marathi film of 2026. The social drama, directed by Shailesh Narwade and starring Ruturaj Wankhede, Priyadarshini Indalkar, and Payal Jadhav, began its journey with a modest opening of just ₹10 lakh.
Over the course of its run, however, it multiplied that figure nearly 53 times, driven by strong word-of-mouth and consistent audience turnout. Its final gross collection stood at ₹6.24 crore, with only a few remaining shows expected to contribute negligible revenue. The film’s run was cut short by the release of Drishyam 3, which forced it out of prime screens ahead of a planned fifth week.
Still, the outcome is considered a success. Made on a reported budget of ₹3 crore, Jayanti 2 delivered a net profit of ₹2.29 crore, translating to a return on investment of 76.33%. According to Koimoi’s internal parameters, this qualifies as a ‘plus’ verdict at the box office. It outperformed Super Duperr (₹3.44 crore) but fell behind Ghabadkund (₹7.45 crore).
The sequel built on the acclaim of the original, which had been praised for its bold social commentary. Critics noted that director Narwade managed the pressure of following up a well-received predecessor with a film that maintained both narrative depth and commercial appeal. With its run now complete, the question shifts not just to whether a third installment is in the works, but how this performance reflects the growing strength of Marathi cinema in 2026.
