Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 Crosses Rs 30 Crore Mark on Day 2

Ajay Devgn's film Raid 2 earned over Rs 31 crore in two days, with Rs 19.25 crore on its opening day and Rs 11.50 crore on Day 2. The sequel to the 2018 hit Raid benefited from partial holidays and the popularity of the first film. The release is competing with Akshay Kumar's Kesari: Chapter 2 and Nani's HIT: The Third Case.

Ajay Devgn's highly anticipated sequel, "Raid 2," has made significant strides at the box office, earning over Rs 31 crore in just two days. The film, directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, opened to a strong response on its first day, collecting Rs 19.25 crore, and continued its momentum on the second day, earning Rs 11.50 crore. This impressive performance can be attributed to several factors, including the partial holiday on the release date and the enduring popularity of the original "Raid" film [1].

The film's success is particularly notable given the competition from other high-profile releases. "Raid 2" is up against Akshay Kumar's "Kesari: Chapter 2" and Nani's "HIT: The Third Case." Despite this competition, "Raid 2" has managed to attract a substantial audience, demonstrating the enduring appeal of the franchise [2].

The film's advance bookings also indicate strong market anticipation. "Raid 2" had earned over Rs 5 crore in advance bookings, with good responses from major metro cities such as Mumbai, Pune, the National Capital Region, Chennai, and Kolkata [2]. This early buzz has translated into strong box office performance, with the film already outperforming several of its predecessors on the opening day [3].

The film's occupancy rates also reflect its popularity. On the first day, "Raid 2" saw an overall occupancy of 17.25%, indicating a high demand for the film [1]. This trend is expected to continue, with the film set to receive maximum audiences during the weekend shows.

"Raid 2" is a Hindi-language crime thriller that follows the story of Indian Revenue Service Officer Amay Patnaik, who tracks another white-collar crime in the sequel to the 2018 hit "Raid." The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, and Abhishek Pathak under the banner of T-Series Films and Panorama Studios [3].
