Raid 2

It's a good movie with good direction and amazing acting, bgm also created good impact, but still it couldn't create impact like the first part.

It feels quite 'filmy', typical bollywood style.. unnecessarily romantic songs, item track and over the top dramatic scenes, unlike the first part which literally created thrill in the climax, here in the 2nd installment of the movie, pre interval the movie was holding good, but after the interval it feels rushed, all of a sudden things started to going in Ajay's favour.

Though, Ritesh's role was well written and more amazingly performed, he did his best, but it lacks the depth of the character.

The movie was awesome. Everyone did their job really well, Riteish was the Soul of the movie. But the story did one thing wrong. They made Riteish a Villain not evil . Cause Dadabhai played against Amay Patnaik within the rules , we all know what a politician can do, but Dadabhai played like a Man , he never threatens Amay Patnaik 's family , He didn't hurt him although Amay Patnaik used every cunning way possible , He blackmailed his old friend but it was okay , he took (the spoilers of the films) to his mother who he respects the most. That's why I thought that if the villain didn't bring your family to this war why did the protagonist did? The reason is , crime should never remain unpunished. He didn't care for the world except his mother . That's why when watching the movie many of you will take Dadabhai's side. Though it's not a right thing to do .Again crime is crime and it should be punished.

Raid 2, directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, marks the return of IRS officer Amay Patnaik (Ajay Devgn) in a sequel set seven years after the original film. This time, Patnaik confronts a formidable adversary in the form of a corrupt politician, portrayed by Riteish Deshmukh. The film explores another high-stakes white-collar crime, keeping the narrative taut and intense.

Ajay Devgn once again delivers a solid, restrained performance, anchoring the film with his signature intensity. But it is Riteish Deshmukh who truly surprises-outperforming himself as the antagonist. With layered expressions, controlled menace, and a palpable presence, he elevates the character far beyond expectations, making him a worthy rival to Devgn's upright officer.

Vaani Kapoor, though underutilized, brings sincerity to her role. One wishes her character had more depth and narrative weight, a recurring drawback in an otherwise sharply written script.

Technically, Raid 2 scores well. The direction is precise, the editing crisp, the cinematography visually compelling, and the background score well-placed. The story moves swiftly while maintaining tension, and the ending cleverly hints at a potential third installment.

Rating: 9/10

Raid 2 is a gripping, well-executed sequel bolstered by powerful performances-especially Riteish Deshmukh's unexpected masterstroke as the villain. A must-watch for thriller lovers and fans of character-driven conflict.

It is a good bollywood film. Because it has a crisp story with good acting from leads as well as side actors. Plus all have done justice to the story. Only minus point is the 2 songs early on.

Talking about story, there are multiple twist n turns, which make it interesting, never let u sit loose.

Ajay and ritesh deliver their part effectively. Specially ritesh. He is good as villain as always. Saurabh and amit sial has done some good comic part.

Songs are avrg cud have been avoided.

Last few scenes are shot in Ramada luckhnow hotel where my own marriage happnd. It was good to see the helicopter view of the hotel.

The movie relies heavily on sound effects, with barely any dialogue-you could watch it completely muted and still understand everything.

This points to a serious lack of effort from the writers in developing a meaningful script or engaging characters.

The direction is mediocre at best, giving the impression that an Instagram content creator has pieced together random scenes to stretch it into a feature-length film.

There's no sense of cohesion, depth, or artistic vision, making the entire experience feel superficial, lazy, and uninspired.

Even visually, the film fails to leave an impact, relying on flashy transitions rather than solid storytelling or emotional weight.

Waste of time!!
