Fresh off its successful theatrical run, Raid 2 — the high-stakes IRS thriller starring Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, and Vaani Kapoor — is now set to stream on Netflix starting Thursday, June 26. Directed and written by Rajkumar Gupta, the film is a sequel to the 2018 hit "Raid" and continues the story of the no-nonsense IRS officer Amay Patnaik.
Netflix officially announced the release date on X (formerly known as Twitter):
“Aaj se ulti ginti shuru 🔥 Amay Patnaik is back with a new case and the same old fire. 👊 Watch Raid 2, out 26 June, on Netflix. #Raid2OnNetflix”
Plot & Cast Highlights
In Raid 2, Ajay Devgn reprises his iconic role as Amay Patnaik, now undertaking his 75th raid—this time against a powerful and politically untouchable figure, Dada Bhai, played by Riteish Deshmukh. With a godlike reputation in his constituency, Dada Bhai proves to be Patnaik’s most daunting adversary yet.
Vaani Kapoor stars as Patnaik’s supportive wife, while the ensemble cast includes Supriya Pathak, Amit Sial, and Saurabh Shukla.
Box Office Triumph
The film was a commercial success, opening to ₹19 crore net in India and raking in over ₹160 crore net domestically. International markets contributed an additional ₹59 crore gross, bringing the film’s worldwide gross to a staggering ₹219 crore. Despite mixed word of mouth, the film was praised for its performances and gripping theme, although it faced minor criticism for Devgn’s appearance and a less intense plot than its predecessor.
What to Expect on OTT
As Raid 2 lands on Netflix, all eyes are on how it performs with the digital audience. The film’s true-events inspiration, powerful face-offs, and courtroom-meets-politics drama are expected to appeal to both fans of the first instalment and new viewers alike.
So, if you missed it in theatres or want to revisit Patnaik’s biggest challenge yet, June 26 is your date with duty, drama, and justice on Netflix.
Stay tuned to UPreviews for more information.
