Raid box office collection: Ajay Devgn faces Hichki rivalry, but still powers to Rs 79.53 cr by day 10

Raid box office collection: Raj Kumar Gupta helmed  Raid starring Ajay Devgn, Ileana D'Cruz and Saurabh Shukla in the lead roles has delivered a good performance in the first week of its release. By Friday, the film had collected Rs 79.53 crore in India by day 10. It was ruising merrily along as Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety slowly faded after becoming a Rs 100 cr film. However, this Friday, March 23, 2018, the film was joined in action by Rani Mukherjee's new release Hichki and the battle has begun in earnest at the box office. Undoubtedly, Hichki had some effect on Raid on the first day of its release. But trade analysts feel that Hichki will hardly have a great impact on the overall fortunes of Raid.  

At present, Raid is holding its position on the screens and is slowly moving forward towards the coveted Rs 100 crore. Trade Analyst Girish Johar believes that Hichki will not have any effect on the business of Ajay Devgn's Raid as the two films are completely different. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh in his tweet said that "#Raid faces a decline at the start of Week 2 but is DECENT nonetheless... Should witness an upward trend on Sat and Sun... [Week 2] Fri 3.55 cr. Total: ₹ 66.60 cr. India biz."  In a tweet today, Taran Adarsh wrote, " #Raid is SUPER-STRONG in Weekend 2... Gathers speed on second Sat and Sun… [Week 2] Fri 3.55 cr, Sat 5.71 cr, Sun 7.22. Total: ₹ 79.53 cr. India biz. "
