Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 has just rocketed to the very top of Netflix’s global Top 10 list for non‑English films, and that is something Indian films rarely get to celebrate. In the week’s tally, the gritty thriller outpaced titles from various non-English countries to claim the number‑one spot. It drew 5.6 million views in only a few days on the platform. The last time an Indian film managed this kind of global streaming victory was the league of Gangubai Kathiawadi and RRR briefly ruled the same chart, so Raid 2 is now in prestigious company.
The sequel picks up with Devgn’s fearless tax officer Amay Patnaik as he zeroes in on a ring of corrupt politicians, and audiences seem to love the mix of straight‑laced heroism and high‑stakes suspense. Word of mouth travelled fast once the film dropped on Netflix, when viewers praised its sharp pacing, strong villain cast, and the kind of twisty cat‑and‑mouse storytelling.
Producers and stars often speak of reaching “worldwide” viewers, but moments like this show it can actually happen when story and scale line up. Raid 2 has opened that door a bit wider, and you can bet filmmakers are already taking notes on how to follow its flight path.
