Rajinikanth's Jailor released in theatres to much frenzy among his fans.
As with the case with all his releases, fans poured milk on Thalaiva's cut-out posters, and offered special prayers.
They burst crackers and danced on the streets.
It's a practice that has been followed with every Rajini release.

Inside the theatre, fans dance with joy as they watch their favourite superstar unleash his magic on screen.
Going for a Rajini film is always a party.
The star himself, meanwhile, is off to the Himalayas, a trip he had been planning for four years.
