Raid 2

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!!

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.

This is second installment of movie series Raid. Through ups and downs the culprit is finally caught.

First half is better than second half. The plot is set. The audience is engaged and what needs to be done before interval is done.

Second half approaches a storyline where Officer played by Ajay has all cards in his favor, such a super mind is hard to digest for me, but then it's just a movie.

Apart from that it's a nice drama that sooths viewing experience. Acting is justified. Songs go well along with the movie.

Final Verdict: I think audience will like it. Watch the trailer and decide for yourself.

Bollywood has got to stop including songs for the sake of it. The song at the end felt right but every other song felt unnecessary and killed the pace of the movie.

The songs especially with Amay Patnaik and his wife were like someone handed Ajay Devgn a packet of Vimal Pan Masala and he forgot what he was starring in.

Also all this walking towards the camera with intent in every movie is ridiculous by now.

This movie on it's own is not a bad movie but compared to the original it is Chai Kam paani.

Ritesh Deshmukh and the supporting cast was great.

The plot basically is 2 kids arguing about how they outsmarted the other and with each declaration the ridiculousness would increase that much.

Seriously stop padding movie run time with songs. Without the songs the rating would've been better.

When you walk out of a theatre after watching a film that feels just okay-not bad, but not very good-that's how you'd describe Raid 2. It follows the exact same template as Raid 1, with some extra subplots. Though it's not as entertaining as its predecessor, it does manage to keep you engaged throughout. The screenplay, however, could have been crisper and twistier. The unnecessary songs could have been removed.

Ajay Devgn feels a little off in this one, showing signs of fatigue. Riteish Deshmukh, however, steals the show with his portrayal of Dada Bhai, although his character could have been more menacing. Amit Sial was a delight, bringing the perfect comic balance with his dialogues. Vaani had little to offer. Supriya Pathak and Shruti Pandey provided good support. The rest of the cast was just okay. Overall, the film is just okay. You can watch it, but it doesn't offer anything particularly exciting. A one-time watch.

OVERALL 7/10.
