The film is receiving tremendous love from the audience, with shows running housefull, indicating its earnings could increase further.
'Raid 2' Overtakes 'Kesari Chapter 2' and 'Jaat'
Ajay Devgn's 'Raid 2' has created a sensation at the box office. In just eight days of its release, it has earned ₹95.75 crore. It has also surpassed Akshay Kumar's 'Kesari Chapter 2' and Sunny Deol's 'Jaat'. 'Kesari Chapter 2' has earned only ₹83.35 crore so far, while 'Jaat' has collected ₹87.90 crore.
These figures clearly demonstrate that 'Raid 2' has captured the hearts of a large audience in a short span of time. If the film continues to receive this level of audience support, it will soon join the ₹100 crore club and could secure a place among the top 3 films of 2025.

'Raid 2' Maintains Momentum on its Eighth Day

Akshay Kumar's 'Kesari Chapter 2' had slightly higher occupancy at 11.34%, but 'Raid 2' still demonstrated a b connection with the audience.
Meanwhile, Sunny Deol's 'Jaat' and Sanjay Dutt's 'The Bhootni' performed weakly, with occupancy rates between 8-10%. No major new releases hit theaters this week, which could benefit 'Raid 2' by attracting more viewers. If this trend continues, the film could see even better earnings during its second weekend and join the ₹100 crore club.

Disappointing Earnings for 'Kesari 2', 'Jaat', and 'The Bhootni'
Several films are struggling at the box office this week. Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, and Ananya Panday's 'Kesari Chapter 2', with a budget of approximately ₹150 crore, has only managed to collect ₹83.35 crore so far. Its earnings further dropped to just ₹65 lakh on Thursday. On the other hand, Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda's 'Jaat' also failed to meet expectations. Made on a budget of approximately ₹100 crore, it has only managed to collect ₹87.90 crore to date.
Sanjay Dutt and Mouni Roy's 'The Bhootni' is in the worst shape, earning only ₹4.80 crore in eight days and has already been declared a flop. These figures clearly indicate that these three films failed to receive a significant audience response, leading to substantial losses for the makers.
