On Day 5, Raid 2 minted Rs 7.75 crore at the ticket window, reported Sacnilk. With this, the movie’s total box office collection stands at Rs 79 crore. Raid 2 witnessed an occupancy rate of 15.10% in the Hindi market on its first Monday, added the report.

On Monday (May 5), film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared Raid 2‘s “extended weekend” collections from Days 1 to 4 on Instagram.
He wrote, “SMASHING EXTENDED WEEKEND. Raid 2 shines in its extended opening weekend. The film posted impressive numbers on Thursday [partial holiday] and Saturday, with Sunday recording its highest single-day total so far.”
Taran Adarsh added, “National chains, non-national and independent properties, and even mass-market venues recorded their best day on Sunday. Interestingly, Raid [first part] had collected Rs 63.05 crore in its entire first week, while Raid 2 has surpassed that total in just four days [Thursday to Sunday].”
On a concluding note, he said, “The day-wise trend clearly indicates that the film has found strong acceptance – and that too without the usual commercial trappings: no high-octane action, no masala elements, and no chartbuster music. All eyes are now on the crucial Monday, following a terrific extended weekend.”
Raid 2 opened big in the theatres, collecting Rs 19.25 crore. The movie received a boost on its first Sunday, raking up Rs 22 crore.
Raid 2 is the sequel to Ajay Devgn’s 2018 blockbuster Raid. Vaani Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, Rajat Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla, Supriya Pathak, and Amit Sial are also seen in key roles.
