Raid 2 Twitter review

A user stated, “Raid 2 is MONOTONOUS. Feels more like a REMAKE than a SEQUEL to the first instalment. #RiteishDeshmukh shines while the confrontation blocks with #AjayDevgn remain decent. The film is predictable without innovation and that dilutes the impact.” He added, “Definitely not on the lines of Shaitaan or Drishyam, not on the lines of Raid (part 1) either.”

His intense acting makes this movie more impressive. Riteish Deshmukh plays role of corrupt politician Dada Bhai and he is absolutely brilliant. #VaaniKapoor looks great. All the supportive casts perform well. Overall good movie by Director #RajKumarGupta. This sequel keeps you hooked right till the end.”
