Superhit film of 2025, made producers rich, earned 2x its budget, has a 7.1 IMDb rating, lead actors are..., film is...
In a year teeming with cinematic spectacles, one film cut through the noise, not with grandeur, but grit. Ajay Devgn's Raid 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 2018 hit Raid, didn't just storm the box office; it shattered expectations. Directed once again by Raj Kumar Gupta, the film brings back the razor-sharp IRS officer Amay Patnaik, now posted in Rajasthan. But this time, the stakes are deadlier, and the villain far more dangerous. This actor is no longer the comic relief… Bollywood's much-loved comedy star, Ritesh Deshmukh, is no longer the comic relief; he slips into the menacing skin of Dada Bhai—a corrupt politician and the shadowy power Amay must dismantle. The battle is no longer just about black money; it's personal, political, and packed with psychological warfare. As the cat-and-mouse game intensifies, the real twist arrives in the climax, one that audiences didn't see coming. Fatally layered and sharply written, the narrative punches hard. And while Ajay plays his part with his signature restraint and intensity, it's Ritesh who turns the tide. As a calculating and charismatic villain, he goes toe-to-toe with Devgn, earning massive praise from audiences and critics alike. Raid 2's IMDb rating Backed by a budget of Rs 120 crore, the film has already paid off handsomely. According to Bollywood Hungama, Raid 2 grossed Rs 176.93 crore in India and raked in Rs 241.68 crore globally—more than double its cost. IMDb users have given it a respectable 7.1 rating, reflecting both the film's mass appeal and narrative strength. Raid 2 streaming on… Now streaming on Netflix, Raid 2 continues to grab eyeballs beyond theatres. And while its intense storyline and sharp performances make it memorable, it's the music that adds edge. Tamannaah Bhatia's sizzling performance in the viral track Nasha became a crowd-puller in its own right. About Raid 2 With a hard-hitting storyline, a stellar ensemble cast—featuring Vaani Kapoor, Rajat Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla, Govind Namdev, and Supriya Pathak—and a villain you'll love to hate, Raid 2 has delivered more than just numbers. It's made honesty thrilling again.
