Ajay Devgn’s much-awaited crime thriller Raid 2 is all set to hit the big screen on Labour Day. Despite facing tough competition from the Marvel superhero film Thunderbolts and the Telugu thriller HIT: The Third Case, the movie is expected to start strong at the box office.
Decent Advance Booking Figures
Even before its official release, Raid 2 has managed to create buzz. Advance ticket sales opened early to give moviegoers more time to book their seats, and the response has been encouraging.
According to Sacnilk, the film has already collected Rs 2.87 crore through advance bookings, selling over 1.08 lakh tickets across India. With blocked seats added to the count, the total is expected to reach around Rs 4.94 crore, making for a solid opening day collection.
Strong Performance in Key Cities
Maharashtra has shown the highest interest in the film, contributing an estimated Rs 1.23 crore to the total advance booking collection. Delhi is not far behind, adding Rs 83 lakh to the tally. These numbers show that the film has struck a chord with urban audiences, especially in major metropolitan areas.
Facing Strong Competition
Raid 2 won’t have a smooth run at the box office, as it faces stiff competition from two other releases. Thunderbolts, a Marvel superhero film, is expected to attract a large number of viewers and is getting an early release in India. On the other hand, the Nani-starrer HIT: The Third Case is also likely to draw in South Indian cinema fans.
Despite this, the makers of Raid 2 are hopeful. With a long weekend ahead and strong pre-release interest, they believe the movie has a good chance of doing well.
A Star-Studded Cast and Gripping Story
Raid 2 stars Ajay Devgn in the lead role, along with Vaani Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, and Saurabh Shukla in important roles. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak, and Krishan Kumar, and presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series under Panorama Studios.
Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, Raid 2 is the sequel to the hit 2018 film Raid, which was loved for its intense story about income tax raids and corruption. Just like the original, Raid 2 promises suspense, action, and a deep look into the world of financial crime.
What to Expect Next
With good advance booking numbers and a powerful cast, Raid 2 is off to a promising start. The real test, however, will be how well it performs over the weekend. If positive word of mouth follows its release, the film could turn into a solid hit.
Fans of crime thrillers and Ajay Devgn are eagerly waiting to see how the story unfolds. One thing is certain—Raid 2 has made its presence felt, even before hitting the screens.
