Raid 2 – Netflix | June 27, 2025
The wait is finally over! Ajay Devgn returns as fearless IRS officer Amay Patnaik in Raid 2, the high-stakes sequel to the 2018 blockbuster Raid. Streaming exclusively on Netflix starting June 27, 2025, this political-crime thriller ramps up the tension with a gripping narrative set in the scorching heart of Bhoj, Rajasthan, where justice comes face-to-face with political power.
Plot Overview
After his successful operation in Lucknow, Amay Patnaik is transferred to Bhoj, where he encounters his most formidable adversary yet — Dada Manik Bhai (played by Riteish Deshmukh), a deeply entrenched politician running an empire of black money, shell companies, and benami assets protected by powerful bureaucratic forces.
As Patnaik begins his investigation, he quickly realizes that the web of corruption runs deeper than ever before. The personal becomes political when his family is dragged into the conflict, and his very integrity is tested. But Patnaik isn’t one to back down. With methodical precision and unwavering courage, he launches what becomes one of the most daring and large-scale income tax raids India has ever seen — a mission that could either expose a dangerous network or destroy everything he holds dear.
