HICHKI has had a decent first week of 26 crore nett after a poor start when it released. The film picked up on Saturday and maintained very well on Monday and then towards the end of the week the holiday factor helped on Wednesday evening and Thursday.

The film has fared best in Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata and Bangalore with West Bengal the best circuit comparatively. The first week figure of MARDAANI which was the last Rani Mukerji starrer was 22.94 crore nett . So the film is 14% up on that film in the first week.

There is BAAGHI 2 to contend with this week but that film has a different target audience and that limited audience for HICHKI in the metros may not be too interested in a film like BAAGHI 2. So it could still continue to go strong in week two. There is also the Good Friday holiday to help.

RAID has sustained well in week two with collections of 25.75 crore nett which is a 57% drop from the first week. the total of the film is now nearly 85.50 crore nett and the film has good chances of emerging a HIT as long as there is not a huge fall in the third week. The also got a boost on Wednesday evening and Thursday due to the holiday factor.

BAAGHI 2 will affect this film in the A centers but on Friday it will have the holiday to see it through to a decent number. The collections of RAID till now are as follows.
Week One - 59,86,00,000
Week Two - 25,75,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 85,61,00,000 apprx

HICHKI has held on strongly on Tuesday with hardly any drop from the day before. The film is course for a 24 crore nett first week and then then day eight will decide where it can go. There is a big release with BAAGHI 2 but HICHKI is for a different audience so it could be that BAAGHI 2 does not affect it that much. The first five day collections of HICHKI are as follows
Friday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 5,25,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 6,75,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,25,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 2,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 19,75,00,000 apprx

RAID also did not show a drop the second Tuesday as it collected in the same range as the day before. The film has now collected 79.50 crore nett plus and should finish the second week with a total of 83.50 crore nett apprx. The collections of RAID till now are as follows.
Week One - 59,86,00,000
Friday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 5,25,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 6,75,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,25,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 2,25,00,000 apprx
Second Week - 19,75,00,000 apprx (5 Days)
TOTAL - 79,61,00,000 apprx

RAID continues to do well on its second Monday as it grossed 2.25 crore nett and takes the total to nearly 77.50 crore nett. The film will become the third highest grosser of the year at the end of business today as it crossed the numbers of PAD MAN.

The second week business of the film is looking to be 23-24 crore nett which will leave the film with a total of around 83.50 crore nett after two weeks which is good enough for a successful film but there will still be some work left if it is to emerge the third HIT film of 2018. It will all depend how the film can hold up when BAAGHI 2 releases on Friday.

The apprx collections of RAID till date are as follows
Week One - 59,86,00,000
Friday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 5,25,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 6,75,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,25,00,000 apprx
Second Week - 17,50,00,000 apprx (4 Days)
TOTAL - 77,36,00,000 apprx

RAID has held up well in its second weekend as it collected 15.25 crore nett which is a drop of 61% from its first weekend. This is better than normal trending but the first weekend was not a really that big. The total business of the film is 75 crore nett in ten days.

It remained the top collecting film this week as most centers barring metros collected better than HICHKI. But RAID is also turning out to be a multiplex film as single screen business is mixed with some parts doing well and others not doing so well. The film should become the highest Ajay Devgn grosser outside Rohit Shetty directed films and most of these have been festival or holiday releases.

The apprx collections of RAID till date are as follows
Week One - 59,86,00,000
Friday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 5,25,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 6,75,00,000 apprx
Second Weekend - 15,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 75,11,00,000 apprx

HICHKI showed very good growth of 60% on Saturday as it collected 5.25 crore nett apprx. The film has collected 8.50 crore nett in two days which is not much but the trend is there to make some ground on the weekdays if Monday can hold up strongly.

The film is going to be driven by Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore as these markets are best. This was the case for TUMHARI SULU released last year and also MARDAANI released a few years back

The first two day collections of HICHKI are as follows
Friday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 5,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 8,50,00,000 apprx

RAID showed growth of 50% plus on its second Saturday to record business of 5 crore nett. This takes its business to 69 crore nett apprx. The film is doing best in UP and Bihar.

The collections of RAID till date are as follows. 
Week One - 60,60,00,000 apprx
Friday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 5,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 69,10,00,000 apprx

RAID has a decent hold on its eight day with collections in the 3.25-3.50 crore nett range. The collections of the film are less than HICHKI in the metros but is better elsewhere. The drop is around 65% from the first day which is fair but its still difficult to tell if the film will emerge a HIT.

If the film had dropped 60% then it would be on its way to being a solid HIT but now its probably going to be about what happens when BAAGHI 2 releases and maybe even the fourth week as well. The film which had ditto collections to PAD MAN in the first week has done much better on day eight but that was likely as PAD MAN was driven by a Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore which drop off while here its core Hindi film markets like UP, Bihar, Gujarat and CP, CI.

The apprx collections of RAID till date are as follows
Friday - 9,75,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 13,25,00,000 apprx

Monday - 6,25,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 5,50,00,00 apprx
