Ajay Devgn returns as the honest Deputy Commissioner of the Income Tax department in Raid 2. While the film was billed as a sequel, his wife is now played by Vaani Kapoor instead of Ileana D’Cruz. Ajay locks horns with Riteish Deshmukh in his 75th raid, which has been touted as the most challenging aspect of his career. But was this sequel as good as its predecessor? Let’s find out.

Raid 2 has a half-baked plot

Set in the late 1980s, Ajay Devgn (Amay Patnaik) embarks on his 75th raid against Riteish Deshmukh (Dada Manohar Bhai), which is being suggested as based on a true story. Riteish is a politician who rose to power after selling chappals (footwear) and uses the term as his go-to metaphor after being insulted for wearing them instead of shoes. He is a mama’s boy and runs a foundation in her name to whitewash his illegal dealings. Ajay gets a whiff of the corruption and narrows this as his next mission. He is aided by his fellow officers, who rip apart places in search of black money, only to return empty-handed.
