Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh also compared the film’s opening to Devgn’s other hits. He noted that the sequel title boasts a bigger opening than the original and his other successes. He wrote, “’RAID 2′ OPENS BIGGER THAN ‘SHAITAAN’, ‘DRISHYAM 2’, ‘TANHAJI’… #Raid2 takes a thunderous start on its opening day, aided by the partial holiday… Besides the holiday factor, the franchise power also played a key role in attracting footfalls.

#Shaitaan [₹ 15.21 cr; #MahaShivratri]

#Drishyam2 [₹ 15.38 cr]

#Tanhaji [₹ 15.10 cr]

That’s not all – #Raid, the first installment [released in 2018], had collected ₹ 10.04 cr on Day 1… #Raid2 has registered a remarkable 96.31% growth over its first part, which is truly phenomenal.”
