Two major Hollywood films, ‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ and ‘Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning’, have recently hit Indian cinemas.Tom Cruise’s latest action-packed film, ‘Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning’, is doing particularly well. Early estimates suggest it earned around Rs. 6.75 crore on Day 3 of its release in India. Despite this, ‘Raid 2’ has managed to stay strong, not losing its ground entirely.Devgn’s powerful performance, Riteish Deshmukh’s charm, and the film’s intense plot seem to be helping it hold its own. The loyal fanbase of the stars is clearly a major factor in keeping the film afloat amidst such stiff competition.Another Challenge Ahead: ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’The box office battle isn’t over yet. This coming weekend, another Hindi film is set to enter theatres, ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’. With fresh content and new faces, this release could draw some attention away from ‘Raid 2’.All eyes are now on how ‘Raid 2’ will perform in its fourth weekend. Will it continue its winning streak, or will new films start to chip away at its success?
