The first day collections of Raazi are out and the film has managed to collect Rs 7.53 crore at the domestic box office.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the boc office figures of Raazi. "Power of SOLID CONTENT... #Raazi starts Day 1 with a BIG BANG... The EXCEPTIONAL word of mouth should result in a FANTASTIC opening weekend... Fri ₹ 7.53 cr. India biz.," he tweeted.
Raazi is set in the backdrop of the 1970's when India and Pakistan were on the verge of waging a war on each other. The story is about Sehmat Khan (Alia Bhatt), a Kashmiri girl, is married off to the younger son of a Pakistani Brigadier. She is, however, a spy for the Indian army, looking to carry forward her father's (Rajit Kapur) legacy. As she leaks military secrets using her wits and the devices she has at hand, she is also falling slowly in love with her gentleman husband Iqbal (Vicky Kaushal), who is an officer himself. As the war becomes more intense and her task becomes arduous by the day, Sehmat finds out that most dangerous battles are not fought at the borders but with people's trusts.
LatestLY movie reviewer Sreeju Sudhakaran was all praise for Raazi. Here's what he had to say after watching the film: "After October and 102 Not Out, it now feels like Bollywood is ready to take huge risks when it comes to mainstream cinema and focus more on the script than star-charisma. Raazi treads on the same path in giving us what could be the best mainstream movie of the year. Coupled up with Meghna Gulzar's assured direction and Alia Bhatt's brilliant performance, Raazi is a fantastic effort in good story-telling, as well as in paying tribute to those unsung heroes who have dedicated their lives for the safety of our country. A must watch indeed!"
