Ajay Devgn Makes a Grand Comeback!

‘Raid 2’ is making waves at the box office! After 16 days in theaters, this action-packed thriller is nearing the impressive milestone of Rs 140 crore in India. With compelling performances and a captivating storyline, the sequel to ‘Raid’ is on track to become one of the biggest hits of 2025.

A Stronghold Even After Two Weeks

‘Raid 2’ has demonstrated remarkable resilience at the box office. The film had a robust performance in its first two weeks, raking in Rs 95.75 crore in Week 1 and Rs 40.6 crore in Week 2, bringing the total to Rs 136.35 crore by Day 15. Recent estimates from Sacnilk indicate that the film added another Rs 3 crore on Day 16, pushing the total to an impressive Rs 139.35 crore net in India.

How Were the Crowds on Day 16?

Even in its third week, ‘Raid 2’ continues to attract audiences. On Friday, 16 May 2025, the overall Hindi occupancy was recorded at 11.38%. Here’s a breakdown of the occupancy in theaters on Day 16:

The day began with a modest 5.35% turnout for morning shows, which improved throughout the day. Afternoon shows saw 10.87% occupancy, followed by a slight increase to 11.28% in the evening. The most significant surge occurred during the night shows, with occupancy reaching 18.00%. This consistent rise throughout the day indicates that the buzz around the film remains strong, particularly among weekend audiences eager for action and drama.

The Secret Behind ‘Raid 2’s Success

The success of ‘Raid 2’ can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, Ajay Devgn’s return as the fearless officer resonates well with viewers. His performance is intense and gripping, just what fans anticipated. Additionally, Riteish Deshmukh plays a pivotal role, impressing audiences with his commanding presence. Vaani Kapoor also joins the cast, adding a fresh dynamic to the film.

Can ‘Raid 2’ Enter the Rs 150 Crore Club?

With the film now at Rs 139.35 crore, the pressing question is whether it can reach Rs 150 crore. If it maintains its momentum over the third weekend, particularly on Saturday and Sunday, it may very well cross that significant milestone. Even if it doesn’t hit the Rs 150 crore mark by the end of the third weekend, the current pace suggests it will likely achieve that during the third week itself.
