Raid 2 Day 4 Box Office: Ajay Devgn’s Action Thriller Surpasses Kesari 2, Jaat, Sikandar with ₹70.75 Cr Collection
Ajay Devgn has once again proved his box office prowess with Raid 2, which is showing impressive growth and momentum. After a strong opening weekend, the film’s fourth-day collection has cemented its status as a commercial success, crossing ₹70.75 crore. With this, Raid 2 has left behind competing titles like Kesari 2, Jaat, and Sikandar, all of which were released around the same time.
Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, Raid 2 continues the gripping narrative of IRS officer Amay Patnaik, with Devgn reprising his role with even more intensity and conviction. The sequel, much like its predecessor, blends action, suspense, and a socially relevant storyline that resonates with the audience. The film explores themes of corruption and justice, which seem to have struck a chord once again with viewers across India.
Day 4’s collection of ₹70.75 crore is especially impressive considering it follows a Sunday, which typically sees a dip in footfalls. However, Raid 2 appears to be defying trends. With strong word-of-mouth and solid reviews, the weekday numbers are holding up better than expected. Analysts believe this momentum could carry forward well into the second week.
In comparison, Kesari 2, a patriotic drama led by another major star, has seen moderate performance at the box office. Despite a decent start, it hasn’t been able to keep up with the sustained pull of Raid 2. Similarly, regional films like Jaat and Sikandar, though performing reasonably well in their target markets, have failed to match Raid 2’s pan-India appeal.
Critics have credited the film’s success to its sharp screenplay, taut direction, and of course, Devgn’s commanding screen presence. His portrayal of a fearless income tax officer taking on powerful political and business forces is both entertaining and inspiring. Moreover, the film’s action sequences and courtroom drama segments have been particularly appreciated by fans.
Another factor contributing to the film’s success is its smart release strategy. With a lack of major competition in the Hindi-language space during its release window, Raid 2 had the box office largely to itself. Additionally, strategic marketing and a well-timed trailer created significant buzz leading up to its release.
Industry experts are now predicting that the film could comfortably cross the ₹100 crore mark within the first week if this pace continues. Multiplex audiences and single-screen viewers alike are turning out in strong numbers, which is often a good indicator of mass appeal.
Ajay Devgn’s consistent track record with patriotic and socially-driven thrillers—such as Drishyam 2, Tanhaji, and the original Raid—has clearly built a loyal fan base that trusts his choice of scripts. With Raid 2, he has once again delivered a film that combines entertainment with substance.
As the week progresses, all eyes will be on whether Raid 2 can maintain its trajectory and join the elite 100-crore club. But for now, it’s clear that Ajay Devgn has delivered one of the most talked-about hits of the season.
