Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal starrer Raazi is unstoppable at the domestic box-office. The film, which debuted in around 1500 screens on 11th May, witnessed an opening of ₹ 7.53 crores. The collections spiked further on Saturday and the film pocketed another ₹ 11.30 crores at the cash counter. On Sunday, the movie just did the unthinkable and pulled in an impressive figure of ₹ 14.11 crores, taking its first-weekend collection to a cumulative ₹ 32.94 crores.
Noted film critic and trade expert, Taran Adarsh, took to micro-blogging site Twitter to share the latest collection of the movie with film enthusiasts. "#Raazi has a FANTASTIC opening weekend... Alia’s star power + power-packed performances + strong content + solid word of mouth helped multiply numbers... Fri 7.53 cr, Sat 11.30 cr, Sun 14.11 cr. Total: ₹ 32.94 cr. India biz," read his tweet.
It is clear that Raazi has found the acceptance among the audience. While the film has already emerged as a profitable venture for its makers, its performance during the weekdays will tell how far it goes at the box office. Having said that, looking at the current pace of the film, a ₹ 50 crore week does not seem impossible for it.
Also starring Soni Razdan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Shishir Sharma, and Amruta Khanvilkar in significant supporting roles, Raazi is helmed by Meghna Gulzar and produced by Dharma Productions and Junglee Pictures.
