Principal photography began in July 2017 in Mumbai and concluded on 27 October 2017. It was shot across several locations including Patiala, Nabha, Malerkotla and Doodhpathri. Raazi was released on 11 May 2018 to positive reviews. Made on a budget of ₹350 million (US$3.7 million), Raazi went on to gross ₹195.75 crore (US$20 million) worldwide, emerging as one of the highest-grossing Indian films featuring a female lead.
