Raid 2 advance booking: Ajay Devgn's film crosses Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2, now in competition with Jaat Box Office day 1

Ajay Devgn's upcoming movie Raid 2 looks promising at the Box Office even before the movie is out in theatres. This film is performing better than Akshay Kumar's Kesari: Chapter 2 as well. Raid 2, in fact, is in direct competition with Sunny Deol's recent offering, Jaat. That, in itself, speaks volumes about the demand for this movie.

Raid 2 advance booking

Ajay Devgn's Raid 2, scheduled for release on Friday, May 1, has already minted over Rs. 5 crore at the Box Office, according to Sacnilk. Early trends of the movie suggest that Raid 2 has minted Rs. 5.05 crore in advance booking itself. Yes, this is much more than what Kesari 2 had earned in advance booking (Rs. 3 crore) and closer to what Jaat minted (Rs. 6.27 crore).

Raid 2 vs Jaat vs Sikandar

Owing to the early Box Office trend, it is safe to say that Raid 2 has long surpassed Kesari 2 and is in direct competition with Sunny Deol's Jaat and Salman Khan's Sikandar. While it is likely to cross Jaat's first day Box Office collection, aiming to cross Sikandar's day 1 Box Office record is not a far-fetched dream either. Who knows, Raid 2 might beat 2023's superhit film Gadar 2 at the Box Office, too!

Raid 2 to bring respite at the Box Office after Ground Zero disaster?

Emraan Hashmi's Ground Zero was expected to earn better than Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2 at the Box Office, but that did not happen. Ground Zero, featuring the Azhar actor, had earned a little above Rs. 5 crore over its first weekend release. That is a number that Raid 2 has earned in its advance booking. Thus, the future for this movie appears bright. This is despite the current competition at the Box Office with Sikandar, Jaat, Kesari: Chapter 2, Ground Zero, Phule and the re-release of Salman Khan-Aamir Khan’s cult-classic, Andaz Apna Apna. Among them, Sikandar is the only movie to earn over Rs. 100 crore net. Jaat and Kesari 2 have also crossed the mark, but worldwide. For now, Raid 2 looks promising, but the release would reveal the fate of the movie.
