The film opened to good numbers and minted 19.25 crore. Speaking on the opening day numbers, Sacnilk said that Raid 2, the sequel to the 2018 movie, “exceeded expectations” of its release-day earnings due to the partial holiday on Maharashtra Day and Labour Day. “The trade was anticipating a little lower opening day, which still would have been a very good start, but here, the film showed what a sequel can do,” Sacnilk said.

Raid 2 review

Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the review of Raid 2 on X and wrote, “Sharp. Edgy. Engaging... Solid second half, powerhouse performances [#AjayDevgn, #RiteishDeshmukh], thunderous dialogue are major highlights... First half works in parts... Overall, lives up to expectations.”

He further shared the positive and negative points about the film.

Taran Adarsh further wrote, Director #RajkumarGupta handles the dramatic tension with finesse – the confrontational scenes, in particular, are superb.

The second half is the film's biggest strength: tight, tense, and captivating.

#AjayDevgn is in top form – understated, intense, and commanding... When it comes to intensity, he is notches above most contemporaries.

#RiteishDeshmukh is a revelation, he is outstanding... A restrained, menacing act that demands attention... His silences speak, his eyes do the talking.

#AmitSial, appearing in the latter half, is excellent – his presence adds weight to the narrative.

The dialogues are clapworthy, especially during confrontations – these scenes form the soul of the film... The background score elevates the impact.

Negatives...

#Raid2 could've done without the two songs in the initial portions... Even #VaaniKapoor's track seems forced, while #SaurabhShukla is underutilized... The writing in the first half lacks the sharpness seen in the latter half.

Final word? #Raid2 is a gripping cat-and-mouse thriller that delivers on its promise... Worth a watch!
