Ajay Devgn is all set to return to the big screen with his much-awaited film Raid 2, and it is already creating a storm at the box office. Even before its official release, Raid 2 has earned crores through advance bookings, showing strong early signs of success.
Two Big Releases Clash on May 1, 2025
Unlike most major films that release on a Friday, Raid 2 is hitting theatres on Thursday, May 1, 2025, along with Sanjay Dutt’s horror-comedy The Bhootni. This rare clash between two big stars has raised excitement among fans.
However, it seems that Raid 2 is taking the lead, thanks to its strong storyline, Ajay Devgn’s loyal fan base, and the legacy of the original Raid film.
