Alia Bhatt starrer Raazi has been wreaking havoc at the Indian box office. Surpassing all expectations, the film collected Rs 7.53 on its opening day and even experienced a growth of more than 50 percent on its second day with a collection of Rs 11.30 crore. While its total collection currently stands at Rs 18.83 crore, the film is expected to continue its magical run over the coming days as well.

Film trade analyst Girish Johar predicts Raazis weekend collection to land somewhere between Rs 25 crore to Rs 27 crore. Its collection on Sunday will be a significant factor in deciding the movies overall performance. With no other big names in the cast, the film completely relies on the shoulders of its lead actor Alia Bhatt. But looks like a good word-of-mouth promotion and decent reviews have also worked in the films favour.

Inspired by true events, Raazi narrates the story of a 19-year-old Kashmiri student Sehmat who embarks on a mission to relay classified information from Pakistan to help India in the 1971 Indo-Pakistan War. It is based on the novel Calling Sehmat by Harinder Sikka.
