The report points out that Raid 2 collected ₹4.46 crore on Friday, as per early estimates. The film had minted ₹ 95.75 crore by the end of its first week in the theatres. Now, with the collections on its second Friday into account, Raid 2 has managed to cross the ₹100 crore mark. Its overall collections now stand at ₹100.21 crore.
The Ajay Devgn film had a good opening day haul on with ₹19.25 crore. Raid 2 had a better opening than Ajay's 2022 release Drishyam 2, which earned ₹15.38 crore at the domestic box office. It maintained the box office momentum in its first week despite new releases.
The report also pointed out that Raid 2 had an overall 9.04% Hindi Occupancy on Friday.
Raid 2 sees Ajay return as Indian Revenue Service Officer Amay Patnaik, who conducts a raid on Dada Manohar Bhai's property. The film also stars Vaani Kapoor, along with Saurabh Shukla in a special appearance, reprising his role from Raid.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film reads, 'The film begins promisingly, with a twist at almost every turn in the first half, keeping the audiences guessing. Raj Kumar Gupta, known for helming thrillers such as No One Killed Jessica, maintains a firm grip on the unfolding events. However, the biggest drawback of Raid 2, set around the 1990s, lies in its reliance on convenience. Amay, our hero, consistently gets help from people with shocking ease. This means Riteish's character arc as Dada bhai is undermined.'

Aamir Khan reveals his No. 1 insecurity of his early days: 'Other top male actors made me nervous because...'
In the dynamic and often unpredictable world of Hindi cinema , Aamir Khan has carved a unique niche for himself as someone who constantly strives for excellence. His journey began in the late 1980s with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, a film that not only introduced him to audiences but also catapulted him to instant stardom. Over the decades, he has continued to maintain a strong presence in the industry, becoming one of its most respected figures. Despite his stature as a leading actor, Aamir once struggled with self-doubt, especially regarding his physical appearance. During the early stages of his career, one of his biggest concerns was his height. Standing around 5 feet 5 inches tall, Aamir felt noticeably shorter than many of his contemporaries at the time. Stars like Sunny Deol and Jackie Shroff dominated the screen with their towering presence, and Aamir often questioned whether someone of his height would be taken seriously in the industry. This sense of unease stayed with him for a while, particularly when actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, and Shatrughan Sinha—taller, commanding personalities—ruled the silver screen. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Crossout: New Apocalyptic MMO Crossout Play Now Undo During a recent interaction on a YouTube talk show, Aamir revisited these feelings when asked about a humorous line in the trailer of his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par , which pokes fun at his height. He admitted that, in the past, such remarks would have deeply unsettled him. However, over time, he grew more comfortable with himself and gradually shed that insecurity. A pivotal moment in his journey toward self-acceptance came through a conversation with renowned writer Javed Akhtar . Akhtar had once advised him that humour, when used wisely, could be a powerful tool during tough times. The ability to laugh at oneself, Akhtar explained, acts as a buffer against life's emotional bumps. This idea stuck with Aamir and helped him view his own perceived shortcomings in a new light. In another earlier discussion on a YouTube channel, Aamir had acknowledged that his height used to make him feel inferior and uncertain about how audiences might react to him. He feared rejection based on appearance alone. But with time and experience, he came to understand that talent, authenticity, and sincerity mattered far more than physical traits. Sitare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna, stars Aamir alongside Genelia Deshmukh and introduces several fresh faces including Naman Misra and Simran Mangeshkar. The film is set to hit theatres on June 20, promising a heartfelt story brought to life by a cast full of new energy and seasoned talent.

Highest-grossing Hindi film isn't even from Bollywood: How a 'regional' star beat Shah Rukh, Ranbir Kapoor, Salman Khan
For seven decades since recordkeeping on box office collections in India began, Hindi films have largely ruled the roost. The country's highest-grossing film was always from Bollywood in an unbroken chain from Kismet to Dangal. The dubbed versions of Tamil films began getting big numbers only if superstars like Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth were in them. But, they were no match for Hindi films. All of it changed in 2017 when Baahubali scored big in the north, only for Shah Rukh Khan to wrestle back the crown six years later. But this false resurgence did not last long, and another 'regional' film beat Bollywood biggies to become the highest-grossing Hindi film. Not Stree 2, Pathaan, or Chhaava, the highest-grossing Hindi film is actually Pushpa 2: The Rule. The Hindi-dubbed version of the Telugu blockbuster earned ₹812 crore net in India alone. Trade pundits estimate that Pushpa 2 earned over ₹1000 crore gross worldwide with its Hindi version alone, more than half its total earnings of ₹1742 crore. The ₹812-crore haul was enough to help it dethrone Stree 2 as the highest-grossing Hindi film. The 2024 Shraddha Kapoor-Rajkummar Rao film had netted ₹598 crore in India. For a dubbed film to be the highest-grosser in Hindi is a stupendous achievement. The Allu Arjun-starrer not just beat Stree 2, but also the biggest hits of several other stars like Shah Rukh Khan (Jawan - ₹582 crore), Ranbir Kapoor (Animal - ₹503 crore), Sunny Deol (Gadar 2 - ₹526 crore), Vicky Kaushal (Chhaava - ₹586 crore), Aamir Khan (Dangal - ₹387 crore), Salman Khan (Sultan - ₹339 crore), and Akshay Kumar (Good Newzz - ₹205 crore). Pushpa 2 managed it by being the heavily anticipated sequel to a film that had already done well in Hindi. Two other films had done this in the past. KGF Chapter 2 earned ₹435 crore in Hindi, and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion broke records with its ₹511-crore haul in Hindi. Pushpa 2 just used that template and pushed the boundaries beyond what had been done so far.
