Ajay Devgn is back in theaters once again with Raid 2, the sequel to his own thriller drama Raid from 2018. This much-awaited thriller was released on May 1, 2025. The film is directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, just like its prequel, with Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla reprising their roles from the last installment. Riteish Deshmukh has joined the film as the new leading antagonist with Vaani Kapoor as the female lead of this latest Bollywood release.
Raid 2 Movie Trailer generated a very positive hype among the general audience as it was released over three weeks before the Raid 2 release Date. The film also generated a good hype due to the presence of some of the best Bollywood actors like Ajay Devgn, Saurabh Shukla and Riteish Deshmukh together in the Raid 2 cast. This hype showed decent results in the Raid 2 advance booking box office report as this Ajay Devgn film sold 82,000 tickets in the top national chains of India – PVR Inox and Cinepolis – for its opening day. This pre-sales result made it the third biggest advance booking ticket seller of 2025 in Bollywood after Chhaava and Sikandar.
The Raid 2 reviews have shown a mixed to positive trend as of current while Inside Box Office gave a Raid 2 rating of 2.5/5 stars, defining it as a film following the same template as its prequel, making for a predictable but watchable theater experience. While Ajay Devgn’s performance surprisingly looks unconvincing, Riteish Deshmukh and Saurabh Shukla attract your interest to the film with their acting prowess.
The initial pre-release expectations from this Ajay Devgn starrer spoke for a box office success judging by the hype for this film, the positive reception for the trailer and the sequel factor as the Raid box office collection in 2018 got the film a hit verdict too, becoming one of the most Bollywood popular movies which was a sleeper hit in theaters. Raid 2 box office collection report did see a good response in its opening days but the film still has long to go to acquire an official verdict at the box office.
In the beginning of its run, Raid 2 movie is facing competition from several fronts at the ticket windows. Currently, a considerable number of screens and shows around North India are occupied by Akshay Kumar’s Kesari 2, Marvel’s Thunderbolts, Emraan Hashmi’s Ground Zero and Sanjay Dutt’s The Bhootnii. While the latter two have faced a disastrous reception and are barely showing any collection, the former two hold their positions with a good enough audience pull, and can possibly affect the Raid 2 day wise collection.
Raid 2 Movie Box Office Collection
On its Day 1, Ajay Devgn’s Raid took an opening of Rs 19.50 crore India nett, being the third highest opening Bollywood film of the year till now. Standing on top of it are Chhaava and Sikandar occupying the first and the second rank. Ajay Devgn’s last thriller drama film was Drishyam 2, released during a very rough phase of Bollywood in 2022.
Despite being the remake of a Malayalam movie, the legacy of Drishyam among the Hindi audience made the Ajay Devgn film one of the biggest blockbusters of Bollywood from that year. In 2025, similar results are expected from Raid 2 collection or probably better in the comparison of Raid 2 vs Drishyam 2 if Raid 2 gains a huge hearted acceptance from the ground level audience.
