Raid 2 story (no spoilers)
Seven years after the events of the first film, IRS officer Amay Patnaik returns in Raid 2. This time he sets his sights on a seemingly benevolent politician, Dada Bhai aka Manohar Dhankar, played by Riteish Deshmukh. The film is a Hindi crime drama thriller directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, running 139 minutes. Ajay Devgn reprises his role as Amay Patnayak, with Vaani Kapoor as Malini Patnaik, Saurabh Shukla as Rameshwar Singh (Tauji), and Supriya Pathak as Amma. The story pits Patnaik against a powerful figure who hides behind a charitable image, and the tone is tense and procedural as the officer attempts to take down his target. Set in the Raid Collection franchise, this sequel follows the 2018 film Raid and carries the tagline 'Amay Patnaik is Back!' The conflict revolves around Patnaik's investigation into Dhankar's activities, promising a cat-and-mouse game typical of the crime thriller genre.
