The wait is finally over for fans of Raid 2, one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. Released in theaters on May 1, this gripping crime drama is now available for streaming on Netflix. Directed by Rajkumar Gupta, the film stars Ajay Devgan in his iconic role as Income Tax Officer Amay Patnaik, solving his 75th high-profile case.
But while this is great news for global audiences, Indian fans—especially those in the South—might feel slightly disappointed by a major decision taken by the makers and the OTT giant.
Netflix Release: Language Twist Upsets Indian Viewers
Raid 2 has been launched globally on Netflix, and along with Hindi, it’s also available in Spanish and Portuguese. The goal? To increase the film’s reach among international viewers. However, the Indian audience is left with only the Hindi version. Surprisingly, the film hasn’t been dubbed in any major South Indian languages like Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, or Malayalam—a move that hasn’t gone down well with regional fans of Ajay Devgan.
Ajay Devgan Shines Again as Amay Patnaik
After a five-year gap, Ajay Devgan reprises his fan-favorite role, delivering a stellar performance as the fearless and honest IT officer. Joining him are Riteish Deshmukh, who stuns the audience as the antagonist Dada Bhai, and Vaani Kapoor, who impresses with her impactful role.
Box Office Roars: Raid 2’s Powerful Performance
The film stayed strong in theatres for 56 days, raking in an impressive ₹173.33 crores domestically and a worldwide total of ₹237.34 crores. Riding on this massive success, the makers have now kicked off preparations for Raid 3, making it one of the most successful and anticipated franchises in Indian cinema.
Final Verdict
Whether you missed it in theatres or want to relive the action-packed journey of Amay Patnaik once again, Raid 2 is now just a click away on Netflix. But if you’re a South Indian fan waiting for your dubbed version—you’ll have to settle for Hindi for now.
