CM Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' earns ₹41 crore on opening day

CM Vijay's film Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, released on July 23 after multiple delays.

The film earned ₹41 crore on its opening day despite mixed-to-negative reviews.

Actor Ravi Mohan watched Jana Nayagan at Chennai's Vetri Theatre, clapping and whistling during Vijay's entry scene.

Jana Nayagan was initially scheduled for January 9, 2026, but was delayed due to issues between producers and the CBFC; it was also leaked online in April.

The story follows a former police officer who encourages his deceased friend's daughter to join the Indian Army, leading to a confrontation with corrupt individuals threatening democratic institutions.
