Raid 2 box office collection day 9: After giving four flops, Ajay Devgn has finally tasted some success with his latest venture Raid 2. The film, a sequel to his 2018 hit Raid, has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark in India. According to early estimates by Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 5 crore on its ninth day, taking its total to Rs 100.75 crore.
On its ninth day, Raid 2 witnessed an overall occupancy of 11.78%. The film, also starring Riteish Deshmukh, Vaani Kapoor, and Amit Sial in the lead roles, had about 4500 shows across India on Friday. Raid 2 has surpassed the collective lifetime revenue of his recent releases Azaad, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha and Maidaan. Maidaan, released in 2024, earned Rs 53 crore in India. Meanwhile, his films Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha and Azaad were among his biggest box office debacles with collections of Rs 11.5 crore and Rs 6 crore, respectively.
Raid 2 has outperformed Akshay Kumar’s Kesari 2 and Emraan Hashmi’s Ground Zero. Kesari 2 on its 22nd day earned just Rs 60 lakh, taking the film’s total to Rs 83.95 crore. Meanwhile, Emraan Hashmi’s Ground Zero collected Rs 7.6 crore with the film earning just Rs 1 lakh on its 15th day.
Ajay Devgn’s last hit was his film Shaitaan with actors R Madhavan and Jyotika. The film went on to earn Rs 148 crore nett in India. His multi-starrer film, Singham Again too earned whopping Rs 247.85 crore, but due to its enormous budget and his A-lister star cast, the film wasn’t seen as a blockbuster.
With no new releases scheduled in the near future, it seems that Ajay Devgn’s film will continue to hold its own in the upcoming week as well. This week, Rajkummar Rao’s Bhool Chuk Maaf was scheduled for a theatrical release but the film will now get a direct OTT release next week.
