Although Irrfan Khan-starrer Blackmail had a slow start, it managed to pick up steam on its second day. After minting Rs 2.81 crore on the opening day , the Abhinay Deo-directed movie, raked in Rs 3.85 crore on day two.

While the  industry has given a thumbs up  to the film, the reviews have been mild with most critics complaining of a predictable screenplay. But what remains a fact — a unanimous verdict — is Irrfan’s inimitable acting prowess that steers the film through the end. Ajay Devgn’s serious drama Raid also roared into the 100-crore-club, becoming the fourth entrant of this year.

Here’s the fourth 💯 cr film of 2018... #Raid crosses ₹ 100 cr mark on Day 22... [Week 4] Fri 43 lakhs. Total: ₹ 100.14 cr. India biz. HIT.
