Raid 2, the much-awaited sequel to the 2018 hit Raid, has been a box office success since its release on May 1, 2025. Directed by Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, and Vaani Kapoor, the movie has remained steady in theaters despite stiff competition and national distractions. Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, Raid 2 is a film that takes the premise of the original and adds in new characters and action-packed scenes.
Day 7 Box Office Trends
According to the latest morning trends, Raid 2 is likely to see a 10% decline in its box office collections on Day 7 from Day 6, which collected Rs 6.85 crore. This is a normal decline in most movies after the initial euphoria of opening week. Despite this slight dip, the overall performance of the movie is robust, and it has been performing well at the box office.
The decline on Day 7 is being credited to national affairs dominating the minds of the public. Nevertheless, this is not likely to affect Raid 2’s total collections substantially. With the movie registering stable numbers in the first week, its long-term future is bright.
Strong Week-Long Collection
Up until now, Raid 2 has made a net business of Rs 85.35 crore at the box office. With the second weekend nearing, the film is poised to cross the Rs 100 crore mark. This would be a huge feat for a sequel, and most people are expecting that the film will continue its run due to its interesting plot and good word of mouth from viewers.
Positive Word of Mouth and Franchise Value
One of the primary reasons for the success of Raid 2 is the word of mouth that the film has garnered from movie lovers. The film has been able to sustain its popularity, leveraging the proven track record of the original Raid. The power-packed star cast featuring Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh (playing the villain) has attracted viewers to cinema halls. Also, the strong franchise value of the movie has added further fuel to the box office success.
Competition and Future Outlook
Currently, Raid 2 is facing competition from other major releases such as The Bhootnii and Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh. Regardless of the competition, the performance of the film remains strong, with an audience that appears keen to know how the story unfolds.
With its first week nearing completion, Raid 2 is set to continue its successful trend and could even beat the lifetime collection of the original Raid (Rs 98 crore). In conclusion, Raid 2 is already being hailed as a hit, and with the second weekend on the horizon, it could be on its way to becoming a box office blockbuster.
