Jaafar Jackson’s Michael is continuing its steady run in India, adding another strong weekend and taking its 10-day gross to Rs 46.25 crore. The musical biographical drama collected Rs 14.25 crore in its second weekend, with Rs 5 crore coming on its second Sunday, a sign that the film is still drawing audiences well beyond its opening rush.
More importantly for its India trajectory, the film has shown the kind of weekend hold that keeps a theatrical run alive. A modest 5 percent slide from second Saturday to second Sunday points to sustained interest for a title powered by music, nostalgia, and the enduring pull of Michael Jackson’s story. At this stage, Michael has already established itself as a clean hit in the market.
Michael Maintains Momentum In Its Second Weekend
The Antoine Fuqua directorial opened with previews of Rs 1.70 crore before collecting Rs 4.50 crore on Friday, Rs 6.50 crore on Saturday, and Rs 7 crore on Sunday in its first weekend. Its weekday run remained healthy, with Rs 2.75 crore on Monday, Rs 3.15 crore on Tuesday, Rs 2.85 crore on Wednesday, and Rs 3.50 crore on Thursday.
In its second weekend, Michael added Rs 4 crore on Friday, Rs 5.25 crore on Saturday, and Rs 5 crore on Sunday. The film’s steady day-to-day trend suggests it has found a reliable audience base in India, which now brings more attention to the creative team and package behind the release.

Inside The Biopic Bringing Michael Jackson Back To The Big Screen
Directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan, Michael revisits the life of Michael Jackson through a large-scale musical biographical lens. Jaafar Jackson leads the film in the title role, while Juliano Valdi appears as young Michael, anchoring a cast that also includes Nia Long, Colman Domingo, Miles Teller, Laura Harrier, Jessica Sula, Mike Myers, and KeiLyn Durrel Jones.
The film was produced by GK Films, with Lionsgate releasing it in the United States and Universal Pictures handling international distribution. Rather than presenting a narrow snapshot, the drama traces Michael Jackson’s early years, his emergence through the Jackson 5, and his rise into one of pop culture’s most defining figures.
Jaafar Jackson’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Michael marked Jaafar Jackson’s feature film acting debut in 2026, giving the release added attention beyond its box office trajectory. Much of the conversation around the film has centered on how he carries the title role in a project tied so closely to one of the most closely watched music legacies in modern entertainment.
That makes the film’s India run especially notable. For a debut led by a first-time actor in such a high-visibility part, Michael has managed to combine curiosity with sustained theatrical business, giving Jaafar Jackson a striking launch on the big screen and adding another layer to the film’s current success story.
