While weekday drops are significant, weekend bumps keep the film afloat.ETimes verdict
ETimes gave the movie a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and our official review reads, “Gupta reunites with his set of actors and writers, barring a few. Ileana D'Cruz, is replaced by Vaani Kapoor as Patnaik’s wife Malini. Saurabh Shukla as Tauji takes a backseat for Ritiesh Deshmukh to take the centre stage. Supriya Pathak as Dadabhai’s mother is a new addition too.
Amit Sial as ‘Charan chumbak’ Lallan Sudheer Singh is an absolute riot.
Ajay Devgn and his sunglasses are intense. He portrays the old-school heroism with swag. He has a solid comic timing too. You wish that aspect was explored more here. The film has some clever one-liners too that mock the sycophants and the corrupt as it oscillates between no frills and old school dramatic storytelling. Raid 2 stays true to its theme, but it takes itself a bit too seriously.”
