Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted to say that with its phenomenal progress at the ticket counters, Raazi will soon solidify its spot on the list of highest grossing films of 2018 in the third position. "Raazi is all set to be the third highest grosser of 2018, after Padmaavat and Baaghi 2... fantastic... [Week 3] Fri 2.25 cr, Sat 4.20 cr, Sun 4.42 cr, Mon 1.82 cr, Tue 1.80 cr. Total: Rs 106.12 cr. India biz... Hollywood films not included," Taran Adarsh tweeted on Wednesday.
After Raazi achieved the 100 crore feat, director Meghna Gulzar told news agency IANS that having a tight budget boosted her confidence about the film's success: "We were working within a very modest budget and even though that made things a little tight, I wouldn't say it was difficult because that comes with every film. But the budget made things streamlined and very focused. So as a director, it helped me because then I go into the release of the film with a little more confidence."
Raazi tracks the story of an Indian woman named Sehmat, who is married off to a Pakistani army officer and planted in Pakistan to pass off valuable information to India. Set in 1972, Raazi is an adaptation of Harinder Sikka's novel Calling Sehmat, which in turn is based on a real life events.
