{ "title": "Vijay's Jana Nayagan Scores ₹50 Crore in Advance Bookings Amid Release Uncertainty", "article": "Despite a setback at the Madras High Court, Vijay's highly anticipated film Jana Nayagan has generated significant buzz, raking in ₹50 crore in pre-sales worldwide. The Tamil film was expected to make history with its opening, but its release is now uncertain due to the court's decision to defer judgment on the producer's plea against the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film's advance booking has been impressive, with over 2.93 lakh tickets sold in India for 2,400 shows. In Malaysia, it has already sold over 90,000 tickets within the first one and a half hours of booking, bringing in a significant amount in revenue. The film's performance in limited regions, including Karnataka and Kerala, has been satisfactory, with ₹7.7 crore collected in pre-sales without blocked seats. However, the censor issues with the CBFC and the court's reserved judgment on January 7 have cast a doubt over the film's initial release date of January 9. BookMyShow has even pulled out shows in Chennai following the hearing. The film's producer, KVN Productions, is eagerly awaiting a confirmation on the release date. Jana Nayagan, directed by H Vinoth, boasts a star-studded cast, including Vijay, Mamitha Baiju, Pooja Hegde, and Bobby Deol. The film's pre-launch event in Malaysia was well-received, and it is expected to perform well in the Tamil market. The film's ₹7.69 crore collection in Tamil and ₹22 lakh in Hindi within the first six hours of booking is a testament to its popularity."
