Raid 2 becomes Ajay Devgn's 8th biggest grosser, surpassing Golmaal 3 and Son of Sardaar

Ajay Devgn’s latest outing Raid 2 has proved its mettle at the box office, officially becoming the 8th highest-grossing film of the superstar’s illustrious career. The film, which released amidst decent pre-release buzz, has collected a solid Rs 120.75 crore in just 11 days, surpassing the lifetime collections of Golmaal 3 (Rs 106.64 crore) and Son of Sardaar (Rs 105 crore).

The film opened to Rs 19.25 crore on its first Thursday, followed by a dip on Friday, but gained momentum over the weekend with Rs 22 crore coming in on Sunday. It managed to close its opening week at a healthy Rs 95.75 crore. The second weekend witnessed a respectable hold, with collections of Rs 5 crore on Friday, Rs 8.25 crore on Saturday, and an estimated Rs 11.75 crore on Sunday, taking its overall tally to Rs 120.75 crore.

With this, Raid 2 has entered the top 10 highest-grossing films of Ajay Devgn’s career, displacing Golmaal 3 and Son of Sardaar from the coveted list. The top 10 is now led by Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (Rs 277.75 crore), followed by Singham Again (Rs 247.86 crore) and Drishyam 2 (Rs 239.67 crore).

The success of Raid 2 highlights Ajay’s consistent pull at the box office, especially in intense, content-driven entertainers. A sequel to his 2018 hit Raid, the film once again sees him donning the role of a fearless IRS officer. The franchise’s goodwill, combined with strong word-of-mouth, has played a crucial role in the film’s impressive numbers.

This latest achievement further consolidates Ajay Devgn’s position as one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars. With Raid 2 climbing up the ranks, fans and trade analysts alike are now curious to see how long it holds its position, especially with no big films being lined up till June.

Raid 2 featured Ritiesh Deshmukh, Vaani Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla and Supriya Pathak in pivotal roles and is directed by Rajkumar Gupta.
