The official trailer of Raid 2 is out. The sequel to the 2018 Hindi movie dives into the world of corruption, power, and high-stakes drama. Ajay Devgn returns as the Income Tax officer Amay Patnaik as he takes on his opponent Dadabhai, essayed by Riteish Deshmukh.
The trailer unveils Devgn’s signature intensity along with Deshmukh’s promising new avatar as an influential politician. Deshmukh’s character is a power-hungry antagonist while Devgn plays the role of an unshakable lawman.
Helmed by Raj Kumar Gupta, Raid 2 is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak and Krishan Kumar. The film is presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series and is a Panorama Studios production.
Raid 2 set to release theatrically on 1st May 2025. Vaani Kapoor, Rajat Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla, Supriya Pathak and Amit Sial round out the cast. Raid was ostensibly inspired from actual income tax raids in the 80s. The film was about an honest IT officer holding the huge mansion of a corrupt politician under siege to unearth the hidden black money.
The Hindu review of the movie said, “Devgn does the same old hooded eyes-dour face-faux intense turn yet again, with nothing new to offer other than some newly grey hair and cracked heels peeping from the sandals (yes watch out for his intro scene).
“His chemistry, thanks to some dramatic confrontations, is much better with his bête noire Shukla who almost walks away with the film were it not for the character of his mother”
