Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani starrer Baaghi 2 is on a record shattering spree at the box office. The film opened to a humongous figure of Rs 25. 10 crore at the ticket windows and has managed to stay above the Rs 20 crore mark since then. The box office collections of Baaghi 2's first weekend business are in and the Ahmed Khan directorial has beaten Ajay Devgn's Raid to become the film with second highest opening weekend of the year so far, after Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Pamaavat.
On Sunday, Baaghi 2 managed to rake in a total of Rs 27.60 crore. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter account to share the full break down of the first weekend box office numbers of the film. He wrote, "#Baaghi2 is a RECORD-SMASHER...

The film was already making all the right noises even before its release. Baaghi 2 has inched quite close to the Rs 75 crore mark in just 3 days. The Tiger Shroff film has been riding high on good word of mouth and the critics ratings as well. The festivals of Good Friday and Easter also added to its business.
It will be interesting to see if the film is able to pass the Monday test with a roar. Going by this pace, Baaghi 2 should definitely find a place in the coveted Rs 100 crore club in the next few days but will it be able to cross the Rs 100 crore mark? Let's wait and watch.
