Made on a small budget with no high profile stunt sequences and exotic locations, Raazi has managed to stay relevant in its fourth week where some films even struggle to even cover the budget of the film.
Not only this, but the film’s collections are also noteworthy because Raazi outperformed many films in 2018 by surpassing their lifetime collections in less than a month. The film did this while facing stiff competition from multiple releases from both Hollywood and Bollywood.
Apparently, Raazi has also delivered a memorable outing for Alia. The film is her highest grossing film till date and is the second highest grossing heroine centric film after Tanu Weds Manu Returns.
Directed by Meghna Gulzar, Raazi is based on the bestselling novel Calling Sehmat, and stars an ensemble cast. The film was released worldwide on May 11.
