The opening is Raid is a little lower than Padman though the wider release can more than make up that gap in terms of collections. Raid has opened better than Pad Man in UP, CP, CI, Gujarat and Bihar. Basically the mass circuits are better due to pad Man having a subject which held limited appeal in these parts.

The opening in Delhi and Punjab is similar for both and here Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweeyt had opened better in some centers like Noida and Gurgaon.

Pad Man opened better in Mumbai and Pune, South and West Bengal and some of the multiplexes in these places had a considerable lead. The opening show collections of Raid and Pad Man from some key cities are as follows. The figures are like for like and from same theaters.
