The second installment of Raid secured 19.25 crores on its opening day because Maharashtra Day together with Labour Day created a partial holiday that boosted attendance numbers at the box office.
Raid 2 Box Office Day 2 Performance
The Friday gross of Raid 2 reached Rs 11.75 crore on May 2, 2025, indicating a 38.96% decrease from the opening result. As of now, the total box office collection for Raid 2 stands at Rs 31 crore. The second-day drop in audience turnout followed a market expectation according to industry tracker Sacnilk due to the absence of holiday fervor on that day.
Exceeded Expectations
Sacnilk praised the movie's initial performance despite its decrease on Day 2 by stating that the film surpassed expectations because of the holiday impact. According to the report the film would create a solid launch yet it surpassed all initial predictions.
Star Cast and Plot
Amay Patnaik returns in Raid 2 as the IRS officer determined to conduct his 74th raid. In his second battle Dadabhai stands as a forceful politician portrayed by Riteish Deshmukh. A intense income tax raid serves as the central theme of the movie where Patnaik fights corruption against a politician who holds powerful influence.
Industry Reactions and Comparisons
The performance of Raid 2 sparked applause from film analyst Taran Adarsh who shared his views on X (Twitter). The sequel achieved better gross profits than all of Ajay Devgn's major releases during its first day operational period including Shaitaan, Drishyam 2, and Tanhaji.
The opening day performance of Raid 2 began with a vigorous reception because of the weekend holiday along with franchise momentum. Educational institutions remaining closed partly explained the box office success but the established brand of the Raid franchise was equally responsible for pulling in audiences according to Adarsh.
He noted that Raid 2 experienced a stunning 96.31% escalation from its predecessor which brought in Rs 10.04 crore on its opening day in 2018.
