Raid 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2018 hit Raid, continues to dominate the Hindi box office, marking a solid performance even as it enters its third week of release. Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta and starring Ajay Devgn, Vaani Kapoor, and Riteish Deshmukh, Raid 2 has quickly become one of the top contenders in the current box office race. Released on May 1, 2025, the film has exceeded expectations and outperformed its predecessor in terms of both audience reception and box office numbers.
Steady Box Office Run
As of Day 15, Raid 2 has earned Rs 129.75 crore in total, a remarkable figure for a movie in its second week. While it experienced a slight dip in earnings, a trend typical for most films after their opening week, the movie has shown resilience by maintaining steady revenue. On the second Wednesday, Raid 2 earned Rs 3.75 crore, with a minimal drop of around 9 percent from the previous day’s collections. This consistent performance indicates that the film still has strong audience appeal and could continue its good run in the coming days.
Competing Against Strong Contenders
The ongoing box office competition is tough, with Raid 2 currently facing off against the holdover release, Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh. The competition is set to heat up even further with the release of two high-profile films later this week Final Destination: Bloodlines on May 16 and Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning on May 17. These releases will provide tough competition, but given the loyalty Raid 2 has already built, it’s expected to maintain a solid position.

Breaking Records and Surpassing Expectations
One of the most significant achievements of Raid 2 is its success in surpassing the lifetime earnings of the first Raid movie, which had earned Rs 98 crore in 2018. In just 14 days, the sequel has outperformed its predecessor, showcasing how much the audience has embraced this new chapter of the franchise.
Star Cast and New Additions
The sequel sees the return of Ajay Devgn as Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax, Amay Patnaik, a role he first portrayed in Raid. However, there is a major change in the film’s cast, with Ileana D’Cruz being replaced by Vaani Kapoor, who brings a fresh dynamic to the film. Riteish Deshmukh also plays a pivotal role, adding another layer to the crime thriller.
