RAID 2 was excellent on its second Sunday as it collected over 11 crore nett and is now back on track to hit a good lifetime total. The film lost a little bit of momentum since Wednesday due to the conflict but Sunday saw the sort of collections you would have expected after those Monday and Tuesday holds.
The film is now a bona fide HIT as that 140 crore nett mark looks an easy ride and it could go much higher due to the open run till June. This number could have been a issue if the conflict lingered on. There is MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING but its unlikely to affect much in the key markets of RAID 2. Maybe Mumbai city will get impacted but eventually there is enough space here for RAID 2 to do its numbers.
RAID 2 stands at almost 117 crore nett and despite these issues, its still probably looking at a second week which will be over 35 crore nett and maybe even close to 40 crore nett. The film has business of around 42 crore nett in Mumbai while Delhi/UP is around 25 crore nett. The surprise is West Bengal although its not huge, the numbers are more that expected for this type of film and. Its likely to be among the top three films of Ajay Devgn in this circuit.
The box office collections of RAID 2 till date are as follows.
Week One – 92,73,00,000 apprx
Friday – 4,75,00,000 apprx
Saturday – 8,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday – 11,25,00,000 apprx
Second Weekend – 24,00,00,000 apprx
TOTAL – 1,16,73,00,000 apprx

RAID 2 sees a strong hold on its fourth Monday due to the holiday for Budhaa Purnima as it collects around 4.50 crore nett and takes the overall total of the film to 121 crore nett. The film is heading for a very good second week despite the issues it had on Friday and Saturday especially in North and border areas.
The film is on discounted rates this week after skipping them in the first week which will probably the way to go for most bigger films. This should ensure a good hold even though the film is coming out of a holiday but it will Wednesday when the film will come down to its normal level and then it will be about the third weekend.
RAID 2 is now a certified HIT which the conflict had put into doubt and now it can even do more than HIT business as the field is open in front of it for three weeks notwithstanding MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING which will affect down South. But in the rest of the country, RAID 2 can continue to hold strong and in South its mainly Bangalore where RAID 2 has good collections. The film will be comfortably over 130 crore nett in three weeks. SHAITAAN did 148 crore nett which is an easy target for RAID 2 now.

RAID 2 remained rock steady on its second Tuesday as it collected 4.25 crore nett which is a minor drop from the previous day which was a partial holiday. After the partial holiday on Monday and discounted rates on Tuesday, it will be Wednesday that will tell where the film stands on the weekdays of the second week.
RAID 2 is a HIT and has the chances to go higher if the next few days really hold up. The Wednesday collections will show a good hold compared to last week as that’s when the collections got hit due to the Pakistan issue. The second week looks to be heading for a total of 39 crore nett depending on the drop on Wednesday.
The numbers on the third Friday will be crucial if the film is to have chances to reach the SUPER HIT mark. The target now will be to cover the business of SHAITAAN within three weeks and go from there. The Gujarat/Saurashtra belt has already covered the numbers of SHAITAAN though South India may fall short of SHAITAAN numbers.
