Raazi registers a massive jump in collection on day 2

The big news this week continues to be the Meghna Gulzar directorial Raazi, starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in principal characters. The espionage drama, which rolled into theatres on 11th May, pulled in ₹ 7.53 crores on its opening day. The movie surged massively on its second day and clocked a humongous ₹ 11.30 crores at the cash counter, taking his domestic two-day collection to a stupendous ₹ 18.83 crores, a box office triumph uncommon for a women-centric film.

Sharing the collection of the film on Twitter, well-known film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, "#Raazi continues its SPLENDID RUN... Witnesses 50.07% growth on Sat... The SUPER-STRONG word of mouth is translating into SUPER-SOLID biz... Expected to collect ₹ 31 cr+ in its opening weekend... Fri 7.53 cr, Sat 11.30 cr. Total: ₹ 18.83 cr. India biz."


The excellent word of mouth has ensured that Raazi remains the most favourite pick of the audience over the weekend. After minting ₹ 18.83 crores in two days, the movie is expected to soar further on Sunday and garner at least ₹ 12 crores. The flick is looking forward to closing out its first weekend with a fantastic collection of approximately ₹ 31-32 crores.

Raazi, helmed by Meghna Gulzar, is bankrolled by Karan Johar under the banner of Dharma Production, and Junglee Pictures.
