Ajay Devgn's Raid Enters Rs 100 Crore Club; Fourth Movie in 2018 to do so After Padmaavat, Baaghi 2 and Sonu Ke Titu Ko Sweety

Even though it released on March 16, Raid has been doing steady business at the box office. The movie is a period thriller and stars Ajay Devgn in the lead, with Ileana D'Cruz and Saurabh Shukla in important role. Raid is directed by Raj Kumar Gupta and set in the '80s, where a honest IT officer raids the mansion of a political kingpin, leading to some interesting mind-games between these two. Raid has been enjoying decent reviews as well as good word of mouth publicity.

After progressing on a decent pace, Ajay Devgn's latest release has finally entered the Rs 100 crore club. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has this to say about the movie, "Here’s the fourth 💯 cr film of 2018... #Raid crosses ₹ 100 cr mark on Day 22... [Week 4] Fri 43 lakhs. Total: ₹ 100.14 cr. India biz. HIT. ₹ 100 cr Club - 2018 #Padmaavat #SonuKeTituKiSweety #SKTKS #Baaghi2 #Raid

India biz."

This makes Raid the fourth movie to enter the Rs 100 crore movie of the year, following Deepika Padukone's Padmaavat, Kartik Aaryan's Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety and Tiger Shroff's Baaghi 2.

Trade analysts are giving Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla's performances as well as the interesting premise credit for Raid's success at the box office. We have to say we quite agree with them. This also makes back to back successes for Ajay Devgn after Golmaal Again.
