Raid 2 worldwide box office collection

The trade website reports that Raid 2 collected ₹19.25 crore net and ₹22.75 crore gross in India on its opening day. The film brought in ₹3 crore from overseas, taking its total to ₹25.75 crore worldwide. This beats the lifetime haul of Auron Mein…which made ₹15.79 crore worldwide.

Singham Again still takes the cake, given its ₹43.40 crore net haul in India and ₹52.20 crore gross collection worldwide on opening day. But Ajay’s other recent films, Shaitaan and Maidaan, made ₹21.50 crore and ₹10.40 crore respectively on the opening day, meaning Raid 2 has beaten them both.

Raid 2 registered a 34.36% Hindi occupancy in India on Thursday, with the night shows registering a strong 42.00%. Given that the film has the advantage of a long weekend now, it remains to be seen how much it collects by the end of it.
