Owing to its strong word of mouth from fans and critics, Raazi has undeniably emerged as the biggest success story of 2018 so far.
As far as box office records go Raazi’s peak position in the list of highest grossing films of 2018 will be restricted to third as surpassing the lifetime collections of Padmaavat and Baaghi 2 is out of the equation.
Nonetheless, Raazi has raised the bar for all films and has proved its worth at the box office by surpassing the lifetime collections of some of Bollywood’s biggies of 2018 like Aiyaary, Pad Man, Raid, Pari and October.
