The direct sequel to the 2018 film Raid is going strong at the box office, despite receiving mixed reviews from the critics and the audiences.

Talking about the worldwide earnings, Raid 2 has earned over Rs 160 crore gross and overtaken Sky Force, that has the global figures of Rs 149 crore. The Ajay Devgn film will soon cross Sikandar 2 globally as well as the latter has minted Rs 184.60 cross gross worldwide. Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava remains the highest-grossing Hindi and Indian film of 2025 as it earned Rs 601 crore net in India and grossed Rs 808 crore at the global box office.

Coming back to Raid 2, like the original, the sequel draws inspiration from real-life income tax raids, showcasing how officers from the Income Tax Department, in collaboration with intelligence agencies, investigate and expose white-collar criminal activities. It is directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, who also helmed the first part. Apart from the two crime thrillers, Gupta has directed four other films namely Aamir (2008), No One Killed Jessica (2011), Ghanchakkar (2013), and India's Most Wanted (2019).
