Raid starring Ajay Devgn has been continuing its amazing run at the box office. The movie has been inching closer to the 60 crore mark within its 1st week. It now stands at the grand total of 58.39 crores and its first weekend seems to be in the same range as Baadshaho.

Lifetime collections of Baadshaho were severely affected by the poor trend post its 1st week. It ended up on a losing side by collecting 78.02 crores. Whereas Drishyam did magic by earning 76.16 crores which was more than double of its 1st week.
