The film starring Alia Bhatt in the lead role is now inching closer to the Rs 100-crore mark and in doing so will be the fifth Hindi film of 2018 to cross the elite mark.

According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh the film collected Rs 3.15 crore on its second Wednesday thus taking the total 13 day collection of the film to Rs 88.48 crore.

Owing to its strong of word of mouth from fans and critics, Raazi has emerged as a success story at the box office and is now looking forward to establish itself as one of the most profitable Hindi films by crossing the Rs 100-crore mark.
Considering the fact that the film has been constantly performing well at the box office on the weekdays, the film’s third weekend might just be the time when the film finally grosses Rs 100-crore mark.
Raazi‘s performance at the box office is also noticeable as at the time of its release the film was facing a stiff competition from the already ruling Avengers: Infinity War and then came Hollywood’s other offering Deadpool 2. Raazi managed to overcome these odds and maintained its stronghold at the box office.
Well, it’s quite safe to say that Raazi will enter the Rs 100-crore club by the end of third weekend and further elevate its rank among the highest grossing Indian films of 2018.
Directed by Meghna Gulzar, Raazi also stars Vicky Kaushal, Soni Razadan, Rajit Kapur and Jaideep Ahlawat in pivotal roles. It was released worldwide on May 11.
