The Indian Express

...the film is wrapped in such a strong whiff of samenes...that the first half comes off entirely superfluous...

Rated: 2/5

Just for Movie Freaks

Raid 2 delivers a solid follow-up to its predecessor, driven by strong performances, a gripping narrative, and a memorable antagonist in Dada Bhai.

Rated: 3/5

The Hindu

Operating within the conventions of the populist idiom, Raid has become formulaic, perhaps a tool to weaponise the transgressions of the previous dispensations to serve the present.

Gulf News (UAE)

The intrigue fizzles out faster than the ink on a freshly printed note. Sure, director Raj Kumar Gupta’s sequel keeps Amay Patnaik as buttoned-up and righteous as ever, but the thrill? It’s barely there.

Rated: 2.5/5

Culture Mix

Raid 2 is a long-winded and preachy misfire trying to sell a fantasy that tax officials are supposed to have a Robin Hood mentality about the distribution of wealth. A cringeworthy scene toward the end of the movie embodies this film's annoying stupidity.

Atul D

This Raid felt more like a tug of war than a focused operation. The introduction of a female lead taking charge of the case felt unethical and diverted attention from the core narrative. Amit Sial delivered a strong performance and maintained screen presence in Ajay's absence. What could have been a high-octane sequence centered on the intricacies and recoveries of a raid became fragmented by additional narrative threads involving empowerment and relationships. Even the buildup lacked tension, making the final payoff underwhelming. The screenplay struggles to balance its themes, resulting in a diluted impact and inconsistent tone.
