This Puja, Raktabeej 2 has emerged as the clear audience favourite, outshining all the other three festive releases in terms of show occupancy and audience footfall. Despite getting a lower number of shows compared to Raghu Dakat, the film is giving it a hard neck-to-neck competition and in fact, maintaining a far higher admits per show average.
The occupancy rush for Raktabeej 2 is nothing short of a phenomenon. From the first day to the second day, the number of housefull shows has doubled—a trend rarely seen in recent times. Exhibitors are reporting that by 10 AM itself, more than 35 shows have already sold out completely, pointing towards a third day that could see triple the number of housefull shows compared to Day 1.
The word-of-mouth around the film has been nothing less than a tsunami, with audiences rushing to secure tickets well in advance. Trade experts are noting that if this trend continues, Raktabeej 2 may set new benchmarks for Puja releases, proving yet again the power of strong storytelling and audience connect.
While other films are struggling to keep pace, Raktabeej 2 is rewriting the box office narrative this festive season—one housefull show at a time.
