What's the story

Ajay Devgn, Ileana D'Cruz and Saurabh Shukla starrer 'Raid' has opened well at the box office. The film started slow on Friday morning and picked up well in the second half of the day. It has raked in Rs. 10.04 crore on its day 1. Considering that the film is not a regular masala entertainer, the numbers are quite impressive.

Twitter Post

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted the film's collection

After an ordinary start in morning shows, #Raid jumped post noon onwards... Evening/night shows saw super growth... A double digit start for a non-masala, realistic film is heartening... Strong word of mouth should boost numbers on Sat and Sun... Fri ₹ 10.04 cr. India biz.

The Raj Kumar Gupta directorial has received a thumbs up from the critics and the word of mouth is also positive.
