Ajay Devgan’s much-anticipated film Raid 2 has finally hit theaters on Labor Day, May 1, and it’s already creating waves at the box office. Ever since the trailer dropped, the excitement around the film skyrocketed—leading to massive advance bookings and a promising opening day outlook.
Advance Booking Report: Raid 2 Shines Bright Before Release
The makers opened advance bookings a few days prior to release, and fans responded with great enthusiasm. According to SACKNILC reports, a staggering 2,32,168 tickets were sold across India for the first day (excluding blocked seats), resulting in an impressive ₹6.52 crore collection. With blocked seats included, the advance booking figure shot up to ₹9.68 crore—an exceptional start by any measure.
Opening Day Expectations: A Power-Packed Launch on the Cards
Releasing across 3,500+ screens nationwide, Raid 2 is set to be one of the biggest Bollywood releases of the year. With the legacy of the 2018 hit Raid behind it, the sequel is riding high on brand value and fan anticipation. Given the strong pre-sales, industry experts predict an opening day collection between ₹15-17 crore. And if positive word-of-mouth follows, the film could soar even higher.
