Raazi is not only winning rave reviews from critics but is also winning the hearts of the fans as the box office number speaks for itself.
The film’s storyline and Alia’s performance are the true gems of the film, which has helped to bring in the audience in cinema houses.
Raazi‘s opening day collection is also noteworthy because it has surpassed the first day collections of many multi-starrer and anticipated films like Aiyaary, October, Kaalakandi and Pari.
As of now the Raazi‘s opening day collection is among the best opening day figures of 2018 and grabs the fifth spot in the best openers of 2018.
