Ajay Devgn’s Crime Thriller Holds Strong, Eyes ₹100 Crore
Raid 2, starring Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh, is on track to hit the coveted ₹100 crore mark after a powerful eight-day run. The film has already accumulated ₹95.65 crore. Thursday contributed ₹5.15 crore to the total. Despite minor setbacks on Wednesday, the film has bounced back. It draws audiences with its gripping storyline and intense performances.
Ajay Devgn’s portrayal of IRS officer Amay Patnaik, a relentless enforcer of justice, resonates with audiences. They enjoyed his role in the 2018 hit Raid. However, it is Riteish Deshmukh’s transformation as the menacing Manohar Dhankar that adds a new layer of intrigue. This transformation makes the sequel more intense and unpredictable.
Raj Kumar Gupta’s direction ensures that the suspense remains taut throughout. Meanwhile, the supporting cast, including Vaani Kapoor and Saurabh Shukla, add depth to the narrative. The film’s nuanced depiction of a high-stakes raid, coupled with its socio-political undertones, elevates it beyond a typical crime thriller.
The film’s box office success is also driven by its strategic release timing. This timing allows it to capitalize on a relatively competition-free window. With rising footfalls and positive word-of-mouth, Raid 2 is well-positioned to breach the ₹100 crore mark over the second weekend. It further solidifies its status as a box office hit.
With Raid 2 steadily closing in on the ₹100 crore mark, Ajay Devgn’s action-packed crime thriller proves to be a crowd-puller. It is fueled by compelling performances and a riveting storyline.
“Success comes to those who stay relentless in the pursuit of justice.” – Amay Patnaik, Raid 2
