Ajay Devgn’s latest release, Raid 2, is proving to be a powerful box office contender, as the film soared past the ₹90 crore mark within its first seven days of theatrical run. Serving as a sequel to the 2018 success Raid, the film has managed to meet high audience expectations while maintaining a steady pace in its daily earnings, securing its place as one of the year’s early blockbuster hits.
Directed once again by Raj Kumar Gupta, Raid 2 picks up the story of tenacious Income Tax officer Amay Patnaik, portrayed by Ajay Devgn. This time, the stakes are higher as he delves deeper into the dark corridors of corruption and uncovers a tangled web of illicit wealth and influential adversaries. The film struck a chord with audiences upon release, launching with strong occupancy in cinemas and gaining momentum through enthusiastic viewer feedback and word-of-mouth recommendations.
The movie had a solid opening day, thanks largely to Devgn’s widespread appeal and the goodwill the franchise carries. Collections witnessed a sharp spike over the weekend, with Sunday turning out to be a particularly lucrative day at the box office. Even as the weekdays set in, Raid 2 maintained commendable numbers — a sign of robust content and loyal audience engagement.
By the conclusion of its first week, the film had comfortably surpassed ₹90 crore in domestic earnings, placing it among the highest-earning Bollywood films of the year so far. Industry watchers attribute this performance to the film’s tight narrative, socially relevant themes, and Devgn’s commanding screen presence.
Beyond the metros, Raid 2 has seen especially strong footfall in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, where its themes of justice, integrity, and patriotism have struck a powerful chord. Trade analysts are confident that the film is on track to breach the ₹100 crore milestone in its second weekend, provided its current pace continues.
Ajay Devgn’s reprisal of the righteous and fearless officer has once again resonated deeply with audiences, cementing his status as one of Hindi cinema’s most reliable stars when it comes to serious, content-driven action dramas. With little competition from other releases in the near term, Raid 2 looks set to enjoy a prolonged and successful theatrical run.
