Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh’s much-anticipated crime thriller Raid 2 is making a notable impact at the box office, maintaining its momentum into the second weekend. Despite facing tough competition, the film managed a significant jump in collections on its second Sunday, earning ₹11.75 crore. This uptick followed relatively subdued performances on Friday and Saturday, bringing its 11-day net total in India to an impressive ₹120.75 crore.

Global Earnings Cross ₹148 Crore: Strong Overseas Performance


Raid 2 has shown remarkable strength not just domestically but also on the international front. The movie has earned ₹129.7 crore gross in India and added ₹18.5 crore from overseas markets, pushing its total worldwide collection to ₹148.2 crore. According to the film’s production house, the India Net Box Office Collection (NBOC) stands at ₹112.42 crore.

While these numbers signal a solid box office run, Raid 2 still lags behind Shaitaan, which continues to dominate the 2025 box office rankings.

Box Office Rankings: Ajay Devgn’s 8th Highest Grosser


In Ajay Devgn’s illustrious career, Raid 2 marks his eighth highest-grossing film. For co-star Riteish Deshmukh, it stands as his third highest-grossing film to date. The movie has managed to surpass other recent theatrical releases such as Jaat and Kesari 2, further cementing its place among the top films of the year. However, it still falls short of the benchmark set by Shaitaan, which has captivated audiences and led the 2025 box office so far.

Occupancy Rates: Major Cities Propel Sunday Surge


The second Sunday proved to be a critical day for Raid 2, with theater occupancy across India averaging 30.16%, a clear sign of audience interest. Some cities stood out with higher-than-average attendance:

Chennai led the charge with a remarkable 63.75% occupancy, even though it played on just 28 screens.
Bengaluru followed with 39.25% occupancy over 211 shows.
Pune maintained a healthy 37.25% occupancy across 303 screens.
Mumbai, one of India’s biggest film markets, registered 29.50% occupancy from 733 shows.
Delhi-NCR, despite a large number of screens (1,191), posted a slightly lower 28.25%.

These city-wise performances reflect the regional pull of the film and demonstrate that Raid 2 continues to attract audiences even as new films hit the screens.

Show Count and Theatrical Run: Can Raid 2 Keep Up the Pace?


With 4,299 shows still running across the country, Raid 2 continues its theatrical journey. However, sustaining this momentum in the face of stiff competition from new releases is a critical challenge. The coming weeks will determine whether the film can maintain its pace or begin to taper off.

Despite this uncertainty, the film’s current performance is commendable, considering the competitive landscape and the ever-evolving tastes of moviegoers.

What’s Driving Raid 2’s Box Office Success?


Several factors have contributed to Raid 2’s robust box office numbers:

Star Power: Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh bring a loyal fan base and strong on-screen chemistry.
Genre Appeal: Crime thrillers have a dedicated audience in India, and Raid 2 delivers on suspense and storytelling.
Word of Mouth: Positive reviews and social media buzz have helped drive ticket sales.
Strategic Release Window: Released during a relatively clear window, the film capitalized on minimal early competition before Shaitaan reclaimed dominance.

Conclusion: A Strong Performer, but Not a Box Office Leader


Raid 2 has carved out its own space in the competitive 2025 box office race. With ₹148.2 crore in global collections, it’s a clear hit, especially when compared to other recent releases. However, it still finds itself playing second fiddle to Shaitaan, which continues to reign supreme.

The film's fate in the coming weeks depends heavily on continued audience engagement, regional support, and limited competition. If it can hold steady, Raid 2 may yet climb higher in the rankings and further bolster the already impressive filmographies of Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh.

For now, Raid 2 stands as a solid commercial success—a resilient runner in the ever-demanding race of box office supremacy.
