When and Where to Watch Raid 2 Online

Following the standard 8-week theatrical window, Raid 2 began streaming on Netflix from June 26, 2025. This timeline aligns with Netflix’s acquisition of digital rights and the typical OTT release pattern for major Bollywood films.

The streaming giant confirmed the release through an Instagram announcement stating, “Aaj se ulti ginti shuru. Amay Patnaik is back with a new case and the same old fire.”

What Makes Raid 2 Worth Watching

Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, who helmed the 2018 blockbuster original, Raid 2 continues the gripping narrative of Amay Patnaik, an honest and fearless IRS officer. The sequel is based on true events from the 1980s—India’s longest and most talked-about income tax raid.

This time, Patnaik faces his most challenging adversary yet: Dada Manohar Bhai, played brilliantly by Riteish Deshmukh. The cat-and-mouse game between the incorruptible officer and the powerful politician forms the crux of this intense thriller.

The stellar ensemble cast includes Vaani Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla, Supriya Pathak, Rajat Kapoor, and Amit Sial, each delivering memorable performances that elevate the film’s dramatic tension.

Box Office Success and Critical Reception

Despite mixed reviews from critics, Raid 2 emerged as one of 2025’s biggest hits, becoming the third-highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. The film earned ₹206.28 crore in India and ₹31 crore overseas, proving that audiences still appreciate compelling storytelling about corruption and justice.

Made on a budget of ₹120 crore, the film’s financial success demonstrates strong public interest in Devgn’s portrayal of the righteous tax officer. While critics noted a slow first half and occasional pacing issues, they universally praised the performances—particularly Deshmukh’s menacing turn as the antagonist.

Rotten Tomatoes shows 33% positive reviews from critics, with an average rating of 5.4/10, though audience reception has been considerably warmer.

Why the OTT Release Matters

For viewers who missed the theatrical experience or those wanting to relive the intense drama, the Netflix release offers the perfect opportunity. The film’s themes of fighting systemic corruption resonate strongly, making it ideal for home viewing with family.

The collaboration between Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh marks their fifth on-screen partnership after hits like Masti, Total Dhamaal, and Cash. Their chemistry adds an extra layer of entertainment beyond the serious subject matter.
