Shailendra K Raid 2 is a very faithful and well made sequel, hence most fans who enjoyed the 2018 crime thriller should enjoy Ajay Devgn's return in the role of Income Tax Deputy Commissioner Amay Patnaik. The movie's gripping story with interesting twists and turns is the real star. However just like Raid had a great antagonist of Tauji played by the brilliant Saurabh Shukla, Raid 2 is also elevated by its antagonist of Dada Bhai brought to life by a devilishly charming Riteish Deshmukh. The Raid on Dada Bhai is very well conceived and executed just like on Tauji's home in the first movie and yet it is completely dissimilar in nature, set up and actual execution. Ajay Devgn is good in his role and gives a pretty solid performance. Riteish Deshmukh displays the same sparks as his menacing Antagonist of Ek Villain and makes his face off with Ajay's Patnaik highly entertaining. The support cast is also pretty solid with Amit Sial, Brijendra Kala, Yashpal Sharma, Rajat Kapoor, Govind Namdev and Shruti Pandey all excelling in their respective roles. Supriya Pathak also brings gravitas to her role as Dada Bhai's mother and Saurabh Shukla is a treat to watch as always as he reprises his role of Tauji. Vaani Kapoor is fine as Malini Patnaik even though the role is mostly eye candy to background songs. The item songs in the movie featuring Tammaanah Bhatia and Jacqueline Fernandez are completely unnecessary and only do disservice to the movie's tone. In the end it is the movie's story, performances and technical execution that makes it a worthy watch for fans of crime thrillers and suspense movies. I enjoyed the movie with its relatively fast pace, interesting characters, good acting and thrilling showdown between Ajay's Patnaik and Riteish's Dada Bhai. 8/10 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Audience Member There is another called The Raid, and The Raid 2 that is awesome. The Night Comes For Us is really good. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review arvind s There isn't a lot you can do in a sequel for a movie like Raid. You would have another corrupt powerful man, you would find ways to extract that information, you may fail at first and then bounce back as expected. Well, this is exactly what happens with Raid 2. New City, Same Old Story. Set 7 years after the events of the original, Amay Patnaik gets transferred to a new city where he intends to conduct his 75th raid. But the man he is after is a very sought after person and has the backing of the public. Ajay Devgn seems to have walked off from the sets of Singham to the sets of Raid 2 as he carries the same energy & expressions (bored now). He is more of an orchestrator than the man of action in this installment (similar to Singham Again). Vaani Kapoor who replaces Ileana D'Cruz as Amay's wife is miscast and doesn't seem to fit in as someone from the 80s. Riteish Deshmukh is good but doesn't make for a strong enough villain unlike Saurabh Shukla, who has a cameo. The star of the movie though is Amit Sial, who plays another Income Tax officer. He could have easily been the lead instead of Devgn. Raid 2 is a forced sequel and it is just cashing in on the fame of the original. This is evident in its 19Cr opening day gross. Raid 2 also overstays it's welcome with unnecessary songs, an extended climax that seems to go one forever. I hope there is no threequel and no Ravi Teja's Mr.Bachchan sequel based on this. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/04/25 Full Review Mirza M 'Raid 2' is a flawed but solid sequel that offers enough elements for an entertaining experience. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Audience Member Rajkumar Gupta's Raid 2 is a component sequel with an excellent Ritesh Deshmukh. The actor plays a cunning politician pretending to be a philanthropist. This gives the movie some very solid moments. The battle of wits between Ritesh and Ajay is very engaging specifically in the first half.
