It is a sequel to Ajay Devgn's 2018 film 'Raid,' and has been directed by Raj Kumar Gupta. Other key members of the movie’s cast include Vaani Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla, Rajat Kapoor, Supriya Pathak, and more. As far as the plot is concerned, it follows the tale of Amay Patnaik, an honest government official on a mission to investigate tax fraud and corruption. However, the corrupt government official Manohar Dhankar doesn’t make it easy for Amay to do his job; and their face off is what makes the film interesting for the audience.In our review of the movie, ETimes mentioned, "The second time around, Raj Kumar Gupta mounts his crime drama on a bigger scale. A brooding Patnaik dressed in formals, enjoys Singham like slowmo entry, glamour and clout. He can be transferred or suspended but he is always in power much against the odds. Ritiesh Deshmukh makes for an interesting no-nonsense, white collared antihero Dadabhai. He is a prodigal son, revered philanthropist and a powerful political leader. He is too good to be true and that leads Patnaik to go sniffing after his massive empire and assets. The two outsmart each other in a series of deceitful activities but only one can emerge victorious."
