Kya dhamaakedaar Chhaapa (Raid 2 movie) box-office par, karodon mein notes Chhaap rahaa hain? by Chaitanya Padukone

"Hum sirf Pandaava nahin,-- balki puray Mahabharat hai," reacts Ajay Devgan's honest, daring, tough IRS Officer character Amay Patnaik, who works out a smart strategy to trap and arrest the main corrupt screen-villain! Social drama and crime action thriller Raid 2, directed by Raj Kumar Gupta co-produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak starring Ajay Devgn, glam-girl Vaani Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh (as main villain-- politician Dada Manohar-bhai) and star item-dance-glam-girl Jacqueline Fernandez ( "Money Money") is creating box-office hungama in cinema theaters all, and has received rave responses from both fans and from most film-critics. Macho Ajay Devgn reprises his role as IRS officer Amay Patnaik in the film, which is a sequel to the 2018 super-hit Raid, which has impressed movie-goers with its fascinating yet realistic portrayal of a real-life income tax investigation involving Saurabh Shukla's beimaan screen-character of Rameshwar-Taauji.

In social media,  Ajay Devgn shared a picture of himself where he is seen smiling cheerfully. In the caption, he wrote, “Smiling…but with warrants! #Raid2 in cinemas now." The mega-star 'Singham' actor is wearing a black shirt and a pair of square framed glasses. According to estimates from Sacnilk, the film grossed Rs 18.25 crore on its opening day, making it the third highest Hindi opener of 2025 so far.

The official box-office figures are just out, and Raid 2 claims it has earned 19.71 crore net on Day One at the Indian box office. The advance bookings were quite promising, but the spot bookings were the real game-changer, apparently leaving behind Jaat, Kesari 2 and of course The Bhootnii by a huge margin on Labor Day ( May 1st) which was also celebrated as a bank holiday in Maharashtra as "Maharashtra Day" ! 

Raid-2 seems to have registered the 3rd biggest opening of 2025 in Bollywood! Back in 2018, Raj Kumar Gupta’s first instalment  Raid had collected 10.04 crores on its opening day. In comparison, Ajay Devgn’s sequel has made a 96% higher opening at the Indian box office. It also seems that like mega-hit Drishyam 2, sequels are more lucky for Ajay Devgn. 

Today, Friday being a regular working-day, Raid-2 may face a decline in collections as it is a But considering the immense buzz, and word-of-mouth and media support the crime thriller with awesome volatile performances and clap-worthy dialogues is expected to score one of the best opening ( Saturday-Sunday) weekends of 2025 and may possibly even cross Rs 40 Crores by Monday. .
