Neeraj Pandey put out a pulsating thriller making us sit on the edge of our seats and that's where Raid fails.Ījay Devgn is good at playing an officer taking over the system, be it in Singham or Gangaajal but Raid pales in comparison. While watching the movie, you can't help but draw parallels with Akshay Kumar's 2013 movie Special 26.
If anything, he seems in control of the character and doesn't go over the top portraying the vicious 'Tauji' mouthing colloquial abuses. We have seen Saurabh Shukla cast in such roles before and there isn't anything refreshing he brings to the table. You will be left astonished as Ajay Devgn and his team of officers unearths gold and money from walls, ceiling and even sewers. But it plummets as it becomes a predictable fare of good versus evil. The film picks up the pace once the raid begins and the graph is maintained for a while. How many of us can recollect the movies she did after Barfi! Ileana D'Cruz plays a role of a supporting wife that could have been played by anybody and doesn't really make any impact on the script. Director Raj Kumar Gupta of No One Killed Jessica and Aamir fame spends too much time at the beginning of the film trying to establish his hero's character - the crucial minutes that are enough to put you off. He carries his dead-pan face as he rattles seemingly 'powerful' dialogues. However, the movie is realistic and didn't turn out as bad as we expected.Ījay Devgn has played the role of an officer crusading against the system in many films before and it comes effortlessly to him.
We went with zero expectations as the trailer wasn't gripping enough. Wondering what happens in the climax? Your guess is as good as mine. Would he be able to conduct his raid successfully or bow down to the politician's clout forms the crux of the film. Set in the 1980s, Raid is a film about a fearless Income Tax Department officer (Ajay Devgn), who conducts a non-stop raid at the house of a powerful man (Saurabh Shukla) in Lucknow.
