In its textures, Raid aims for a gritty realism but the characters are painted in broad strokes. Eventually the punch is predictable but after a few stumbles, it does land.

Rated: 3/5

Raj Kumar Gupta and his writer Ritesh Shah do manage to hold the audience interest but only intermittently so...Raid could have been much more tight, taut and thrilling than it turns out to be.

It is set apart from the norms of the genre just a tad because the man leading the crusade against the bad guy isn't a beefed-up action hero in uniform.

Ajay Devgn appears so uninspired...

The National (UAE)

The film's real hero is the script writer. Ritesh Shah has made sure the dialogue breezes over the pouring over reams of paper while revolving around dusty offices, cowsheds and a mucky well.

Undeclared income is all around, and all it needs is a bit of digging, Raid says. That turns out to be its most enduring idea.

Ajay Devgan has been typecast now, and so this movie is quite predictable. However it was still enjoyable for a one time watch, and its based (loosely) on a real story!

I enjoyed the movie, it is loosely based on two to three different IT raids from the 1980's which made names for being the longest and having the biggest recover made by the IT department, also the period had some of the most violence IT raids where there was mob lynching. For cinematic effects, the filmmakers combine those raids to be shown as one. The only problem I had with the movie was the incidents shown are over dramatized. Still, whatever they showed did happen only in a milder manner. Ajay Devgen is fabulous as the courageous and upright IT officer and is supported superbly by Saurabh Shukla as the black money hoarder.

Ajay Devgn nails some of the roles which involves minimal action. The climax was well framed. But apart from direction and unreal potrayal of Indira Gandhi, the acting by Saurabh Shukla was splendid. Ileana was unwanted or failed to deliver.
