Jailer 2 holds India lead with FDI of 23.5 as Ramayana closes in

Aadarsha Kutumbam opened on top last weekend with 000,000Unlock tickets as Jailer 2 fell from the previous frame.

• Jailer 2 sold 000,000Unlock tickets in the last 7 days.
• Aadarsha Kutumbam House No: 47 - AK47 rose 19.6 points in a week.
• Scene has 000,000Unlock advance tickets ahead of its November 6 release.

Jailer 2 still leads India with an FDI of 23.5, but the chase has tightened as Ramayana: Rise of a Legend and Aadarsha Kutumbam House No: 47 - AK47 both sit at 19.7. The SEATmio Film Demand Index (FDI) is a film's percentage share of all tracked tickets in India, combining tickets from the last 7 days of screenings with advance tickets for future screenings. SEATmio ticket counts are rounded estimates.

Nelson's Jailer 2, from the director of Jailer, Beast, Doctor and Kolamavu Kokila, remains in first place after holding the top spot a week ago. The Rajinikanth-led action-comedy drama sold 000,000Unlock tickets in the last 7 days and has 000,000Unlock advance tickets, but its FDI fell 24.0 points in a week. Its story again follows retired jailer Tiger Muthuvel Pandian as he goes undercover to protect his family from a dangerous syndicate.

The nearest pressure is coming from two local productions with very different momentum. Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, from the director of Dangal and Chhichhore, is not yet in cinemas and already has 000,000Unlock advance tickets. Trivikram Srinivas' family action comedy Aadarsha Kutumbam House No: 47 - AK47 climbed into third place with 000,000Unlock tickets over the last 7 days, rising 19.6 points in a week.

Udta Teer has slipped from second place to fourth, with an FDI of 9.2 after falling 1.7 points. Aakash Kaushik's comedy-action film stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan in the story of an amnesiac Pakistani spy who wakes up believing he is an Indian counter-terrorism officer. Drishyam: The Conclusion moved from sixth to fifth, overtaking Premada Oorali, Ranabaali and 418, even as its FDI fell 1.2 points.

Local production is the market's defining fact this week: Indian films occupy the top 10 positions in demand. Premada Oorali fell from third to seventh after losing 4.3 points, while 418 dropped from fifth to ninth after losing 3.5 points. Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam moved from seventh to tenth, with the courtroom crime drama selling 000,000Unlock tickets in the last 7 days.

Last weekend, October 30 to November 1, Aadarsha Kutumbam sold the most tickets with 000,000Unlock and opened in first place. Jailer 2 followed with 000,000Unlock tickets after falling 60% from the previous weekend. Udta Teer was third with 000,000Unlock tickets and fell 41%, while Premada Oorali and Drishyam: The Conclusion also retreated from the previous frame.

The next test arrives on November 6, when Scene opens with an FDI of 3.5 and 000,000Unlock advance tickets. Jithu Madhavan's action-comedy thriller, from the director of Romancham and Aavesham, stars Suriya as a police officer forced to reopen an unfinished case with a troublesome team. Also dated for November 6, Mookuthi Amman 2 has an FDI of 0.5, while The Cat in the Hat opens on November 5 with 000,000Unlock advance tickets.
