Raazi has impressive run at the box office; expected to hit the 100 crore mark

Raazi is making an impressive go at the box office. Collections for the Meghna Gulzar directorial has witnessed steady pick-up owing to positive word-of-mouth. After making nearly Rs 33 crore over the weekend, the Alia Bhatt film raked in Rs 6 crore on Monday; taking the total collections so far to Rs 39 crore.

According to Box Office India, the film is likely to have a solid run till the release of the much awaited Race 3. Totalling around 39 crore net in four days, collections for the week are expected to come in at around 54-55 crore net. Box Office India also reports that low ticket prices seem to have led to the 15-20% drop from collections on Friday, otherwise the numbers would fall in the same range. The stronghold at the box office has led to expectations that the film will bring in Rs 90 or 100 crore net during its time in theatres.

The reviews for Raazi have been strong. Even Bollywood biggies like Rajkummar Hirani and Abhishek Bachchan took to their social media handles to praise the film and the performances of the cast. Alia's father and top director Mahesh Bhatt also took to Twitter to state that Raazi is his daughter's career-best performance till date.
