@ajaydevgn 
Raid has enjoyed a good first week at the Box Office as collections stand at Rs. 63.05 crore. While the film opened well with a double digit score, the clincher was growth over the weekend that took it past the Rs. 40 crore mark. However what was the need of the hour was for the film to have stable weekdays as well and this is what went in its favour. The collections never went under the Rs. 5 crore mark and that has allowed the number to go well past the Rs. 60 crore mark.
Ajay Devgn now has another good success under his belt after Golmaal Again and he is showing his pull over the audience as a superstar who has been around for more than 25 years. To bring on numbers for a realistic drama like this is no mean feat and he backed director Raj Kumar Gupta to the fullest, the results of which can well be seen. He has been consistent at the Box Office and the good run is set to continue for time to come as well.
Meanwhile, the film is now heading towards the Rs. 90 crore mark comfortably though it has to be seen what's the kind of push it gets over the second weekend to aim for higher milestones. If around Rs. 25 crore more come in the second week, Raid could well take a shot at the Rs. 100 Crore Club.
Ajay Devgn in a still from Raid
Ajay Devgn-starrer period crime drama Raid is having a stupendous run at the box-office. The film, directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, added Rs 4.66 crore more to its kitty on Thursday. Its total collection, after a 7-day run in the cinemas, stands at Rs 63.05 crore. In terms of opening week collection, the film has surpassed Akshay Kumar's social hygiene drama Pad Man, which had earned Rs 62.87 crore in this much time. Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh posted the business figures on his Twitter account. See his tweets below:
Ajay Devgn-starrer Raid' was never expected to take a flying start as it was not a Holiday release, plus it had less mass appeal. But, thanks to good reviews and positive word of mouth, the movie collected Rs 39.75 crore in three days.
After the weekend, the movie continued to do a decent business at the box office in the week days, and has collected Rs 60.60 crore in its first week. Raid' has collected a bit higher than PadMan'. The Akshay Kumar-starrer had collected Rs 59.74 crore in its first week. (Also Read: Raid movie review: Fails to intrigue with an unsurprising narrative)
Raid' is on its way to be a hit at the box office. It will surely face tough competition from Rani Mukerji-starrer Hichki' in its second week, but it will sustain well as Hichki' has not been released in much screens.
Talking about Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety', the movie did very well in its fourth week by collecting Rs 7.75 crore, taking the till date total to Rs 95.63 crore. Its a super hit.

My list of Ajay Devgn's best ten movies has a trend all single word named action thrillers. Company, Gangajal, Singham, Zakhm, Omkara, Drishyam, Khakee, Aakrosh, Apaharan & Takshak. All gripping, serious, edge of the seat movies his forte, his unchallenged core competency. While Raid doesn't possess the quality to make to this esteemed list, it still falls in the same genre of Devgn's sensible and watchable movies.
Finding Patnaik as a Bollywood movie character surname is a big rarity. Last I recall, Akshay Kumar carried that surname in Aan. This though wasn't the reason to watch Raid this weekend Devgn back to his zone' did it for me. Also that stories like Raid often justify PM Modi's recent past demonetization drive. Audience even in a Singapore hall enjoyed every time black money poured out of pillars and gold bars fell from the ceiling. There are points during the movie when you wonder (forget one man owning it) can so much money even exist together?
Director Raj Kumar Gupta, despite a stunning debut with the Rajeev Khandelwal starrer Aamir, ten years ago, hasn't quite been able to sustain that mojo. His movies are decent but way short of levels they originally promised in trailers No One Killed Jessica, Ghanchakkar and now Raid. The 60-90 min plot is stretched to 128 mins with masala added in form of romance, songs. wife carrying tiffin box to an income tax raid and ex-PM Indira Gandhi look alike trying to protect a (supposedly) Congress MLA from getting exposed!
That Raid frequently reminds you of the gold standard in this genre Neeraj Pandey's Special 26 also contributes to it falling below expectations. Although the time period is 1980s, the movie shows little of it aside the HMT watch and a government servant stand steely on his principles. Hence Raid relies heavily on it's support cast to keep the viewer engaged.
Recently I heard Manav Kaul say (in an interview with Rajeev Masand) that Saurabh Shukla only takes roles where his character has significant presence and importance to the plot. He refuses to do bit-part roles. That has been his policy since the Ram Gopal Varma epic Satya days, around two decades ago; and you can see why. He adds character to the most mundane of dialogues and leaves a lasting impression. Ditto Amit Sial as assistant to Devgn. Ditto star of the house Amma Ji played by Pushpa Joshi. These three characters keep you invested in the movie more during the 48hr raid duration. Yes it needed more than two days of digging to extract out all the wealth one person had illegally amassed. Back in the 1980s.
Rating: 3.25/5 (One time good watch for Devgn and for a story that had to be told)
