Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 beats Singham Returns to become his 7th biggest hit
Ajay Devgn
's latest action-drama
Raid 2
continues its steady run at the box office, and with its 18-day total now standing at Rs 143.38 crore (all languages), the film has officially surpassed the lifetime collection of
Singham Returns
. The Rohit Shetty-directed cop drama whihc also featured
Kareena Kapoor Khan
had closed its theatrical run at Rs 140.6 crore, a record it held since 2014.
Raid
2 has now become Ajay Devgn's seventh highest-grossing film of all time.
The film opened strong with Rs 19.25 crore on its first day and maintained a healthy weekend collection, crossing Rs 95.75 crore in its opening week. Despite a noticeable drop in weekday numbers, Raid 2 managed to hold on in its second weekend, adding another Rs 40.6 crore in Week 2. While the collections dipped during the third week, the film still pulled in Rs 3 crore on its third Friday and Rs 4 crore on its third Saturday, pushing it past the Singham Returns benchmark.
Now, Raid 2 is just under Rs 5 crore away from overtaking Shaitaan, which currently holds the sixth spot in Ajay Devgn's box office rankings with a lifetime total of Rs 148 crore. Considering the current pace and the absence of major Hindi new releases, trade experts believe Raid 2 stands a good chance of bridging this gap over the coming weekdays and its fourth weekend and going about Rs 150 crore mark.Though the release of Tim Cruise's Mission Impossible: THe FInal Reckoning and Final Destination: Bloodlines can have a major impact in the days to come as both films have opened to massive collections.
This success story further consolidates Ajay Devgn's position as one of Bollywood's most bankable stars in the action-thriller space. Directed by
Raj Kumar Gupta
, Raid 2 is the sequel to the 2018 hit Raid and sees Devgn reprising his role as IRS officer Amay Patnaik, the film also starred
Ritiesh Deshmukh
and
Vaani Kapoor
in leading roles.
As the film inches towards the Rs 150 crore mark, all eyes are on whether it can climb one more notch up the star's personal box office leaderboard. For now, Raid 2 has proven that even amidst evolving box office trends, Ajay Devgn's appeal with audiences remains rock solid.
