Ajay Devgn’s much-anticipated film Raid 2 has maintained a strong momentum at the box office following a stellar extended opening weekend. Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, the crime thriller is the sequel to the 2018 hit Raid, and brings back the fierce Indian Revenue Service Officer Amay Patnaik, now taking on the 75th raid of his career.
Strong Weekend Performance
After opening to a solid response across key markets, Raid 2 collected an impressive Rs 71 crore in just four days. Its highest single-day earnings came on Sunday, with a record Rs 21.75 crore, marking a significant boost in its weekend performance. The film’s gripping storyline, franchise recall, and Ajay Devgn’s commanding screen presence have been instrumental in drawing audiences, particularly in regions like Maharashtra and Gujarat.
Expected Dip on Monday
As per early morning trends on Day 5 (Monday), the film is likely to witness the usual weekday dip. However, the decline appears to be within expected limits, suggesting that Raid 2 will retain a decent hold through the week. With strong word-of-mouth and continued audience interest, the film is well on its way to entering the coveted Rs 100 crore club within its first week.
Competition at the Box Office
Despite running alongside other releases such as Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh and the horror-comedy The Bhootnii, Raid 2 has managed to stand out. The power of the franchise and a taut, engaging screenplay have helped the film stay ahead in the box office race, with minimal impact from competing titles.
Looking Ahead
Featuring Riteish Deshmukh and Vaani Kapoor in key roles, Raid 2 benefits from a strong ensemble cast and a compelling narrative. The film’s trajectory so far suggests that it could surpass Rs 150 crore during its theatrical run, making it one of the top-grossing Bollywood films of 2025 to date.
