After doing quite well on Thursday when Rs. 19.71 crores came in, Raid 2 did well on Friday too by comfortably going past the double digit mark. That seemed to be on the cards as well since the opening day numbers had anyways exceeded expectations which had taken it much higher up the charts. This meant that even if a drop of 50% came in due to Friday being a regular working day, the collections would still have been around Rs. 10 crores.
The Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh starrer did better than that as the drop was much lesser than 50%, and as a result as much as Rs. 13.05 crores came in. In the current times, even if this would have been Thursday number of the film (especially without the holiday factor), then it would have been considered good and here it’s coming when this is not just a working day but also the second day in the running at theatres.
The collections so far stand at Rs. 32.76 crores. Today, the film will grow well again, though it has to be seen that how much closer to the Thursday numbers that it gets. If not today, then at least tomorrow it will certainly go past the Rs. 20 crores mark which means overall an extended weekend of around Rs. 70 crores is on the cards.
Note: All collections as per various box office sources
