With the third-day collection nearing Rs 50 crores, the big question now is can Raid 2 fly high above the sky like one of the biggest hits of 2025?

In this article, we give an in-depth analysis of the Raid.2 third-day box office collection, overall collection up until this point, audience response, expert predictions and what lies in store for Ajay Devgn and his crime-drama thriller going forward.

Raid 2 Day 3 Box Office Collection: Good Weekend Run

Ajay Devgn’s Raid.2 MOVIS is proving itself at the box office. After a strong Friday, the film went higher on Saturday, and Day 3, Sunday, signaled with a bang at the end of the weekend.

Here is the statistics of box office figures till now:

Day 1 (Friday): ₹14.75 crore

Day 2 (Saturday): ₹16.20 crore

Day 3 (Sunday): ₹17.85 crore

Total (3 Days): ₹48.80 crore

The film is now closing in on the ₹50 crore mark in a mere three days. Early signs are very positive and it’s got a good industry run from Ajay Devgn’s superstardom and thrilling storytelling as Raid.2 does well in big metro cities as well as in tier-2 towns.

For some reason or other, Raid.2′s performance at the box office with regard to its opening weekend had to be overshadowed by error considerations.

1. Thanks to Ajay Devgn
   Ajay Devgn is really one of the biggest stars in Bollywood. East been called an avenger of sorts for his intensity and seriousness with a captivating persona, Devgn has made many fans with his performance as honest officers. The character IRS officer Amay Patnaik is another one who has gone with the audience.
2. Benefit of Sequel
   The first Raid was a successful film both critically and financially, crossing ₹140 crore worldwide. Raid 2 continues that legacy, thus pulling in profit from fans who were waiting to see how the storyline would continue. This sequel consideration gives Raid 2 a head start.
3. High-Wattage Drama and Grit
   Like its predecessor, Raid: 2 tells a fiction-interspersed-with-reality story full of adrenaline. The story deals with corruption, tax raids, and pressure from politicians. Some sequences had a gripping force that kept the audience glued.
4. Positive Word of Mouth
   Most reviews have been favorable: from the critics to the common man. The audience is praising the well-structured screenplay, good dialogues, and emotional depth. This was further fueled by social media chatter and word-of-mouth recommendations for footfalls in theatres.

Audience Response: Claps in All Directions

The response to Raid.2 has been extraordinarily positive, especially praised for its dialogue and well-etched performances. Ajay Devgn’s contaminated flow of acting and commanding take on the character have earned him plenty of cheering, while Ileana D’Cruz and Rajat Kapoor, the other two prominent cast members, acted tremendously well.

What audiences and critics have commented:

“Ajay Devgn gives yet another career-defining performance. Gripping till the very end!”

“Raid 2 is exactly what you would expect-a mixed bag of suspense, intensity, and realism.”

“A film that is not only a masala entertainer but one that tells a story worth telling?”

With this kind of feedback, Raid 2 is forming a path to earn records and break some at the box office.

Raid 2 versus Other Releases in 2025
At least thus far, Raid 2 is one of the leading openers in 2025. It performed better than several other current high-budget action movies and rom-coms. Here is how it stands:

Film Opening Weekend Collection (in ₹ Cr)
Raid 2———————————– ₹48.80 Cr
Yodha ———————————–₹42.10 Cr
Emergency —————————–₹35.50 Cr
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 ——————-₹39.75 Cr

Though, Raid 2 has created a high yardstick. If the collections remain steady during the week, then it might very well end up being part of the ₹100 crore club in under 10 days.

Predictions by trade analysts: Raid 2 may cross the ₹150 crores mark.
Trade analysts hold high hopes for Raid 2 to do well at the box office. The movie is reportedly not threatening by other releases this week, just going by the current trends, and should be over its first week by now.

Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted:

“Weekend trend in #Raid2 is pretty strong. If it manages to hold on Monday, ₹150 Cr in lifetime would be very much achievable.”

Komal Nahta added, “Ajay Devgn’s following and the gripping plot are enough for the film to continue doing well-fr ₹50 crore opening weekend is a huge score.”

Will Raid 2 Cross the ₹200 Crore Mark?
While crossing the ₹50 core barrier seems possible, the bigger question is: will Raid 2 go the whole way to ₹200 crores?

Certainly, it is premature to say with any certainty, but then there are some positive signs:

• Good occupancy for premium multiplexes
• Advance bookings for weekdays looking healthy
• No major competition in the immediate next week
• Repeat watch value is high for the fans of this political thriller genre

This film should cross above ₹150 crores if it is not dropped badly during weekdays and gets another bumper weekend. After this, the ₹ 200 crores number would depend on overall performance in week 2 and how sustained is the word-of-mouth.

What does Ajay Devgn do next following Raid 2?
IndeedS, after the phenomenal succes of Raid 2, THE Ajay Devgn has an eventful line-up ahead. According to sources, his further movies are:

Singham Again-third of the hugely successful Singham franchise

Golmaal 5-More light-hearted fun and games with the favorite gang

Chanakya-historically epic, has possibilities of changing some records in history.

For sure, our actor is going to have a gala time in 2025.

Final Verdict Raid 2 will surely go down as a hit
By all accounts, Raid 2 is a well-laid-out story, with power-packed performances clasped in its cinema-making requirements for success. The outcome of this action thriller had crossed ₹48.80 crore collection just three days into release, making ₹50 crore just a formality now, and the film is well on its way to smashing many more records within the next few days.

People who at least claim to be Ajay Devgn fans, fond of political thrillers, or who approve of hard-hitting storylines must watch Raid 2. The one that began through box office glory and reiterated that excellent content and superlative portrayal work well now as they ever did.
