Raazi opened well with occupancy of around 25% and is easily better than all the Hindi releases since Baaghi 2 took that bumper opening in the last week of March. The opening is better than the likes of 102 not Out and October and more importantly the film is far better than these outside the metros..
The film has some appeal outside the urban centers which is a huge plus for the film as it becomes more than just a five city film. The opening is also good for a film led by the actress and is probably one of the better openings by a female especially in the last two years. The collections of the film are best in North India with Delhi NCR recording good occupancy. Raazi is looking set for a good weekend. The other releases Hope Aur Hum which got some screen time is an also ran.
