Amay Patnaik is an honest income tax officer who has had 49 transfers in seven years due to his honesty.Amay is recently transferred to Uttar Pradesh where he starts getting tips from an unknown person about Crore's of black money being hidden in house of Rameshwar Singh better known as Tauji.Tauji's word is a command for his villagers.Patnaik takes the risk to Raid his house assuring his superiors that said money will be recovered and he will be responsible for his team's safety. A fearless income tax officer raids the mansion of the most powerful man in Lucknow after someone mysteriously draws his attention towards the evidence. Average movie not so big to watch but ok all character are good ,acting good and pappon song is awesome. Ajay Devgn is back to entertain his fans & this time he is in Raid as an Income-tax officer. Directed by Rajkumar Gupta, this film tells a story of India's longest raid that happened in 1981.<br/><br/>Though, the subject is about a single raid, it is difficult to make a full feature film without loosing audience. Ritesh Shah, writer of this film, has done commandable job. But, it could have been made with more intense drama, more sharp dialogue and more twists and turns. Other than that, I think this film has no other negative point.<br/><br/>Saurabh Shukla is again delivering a power-pack performance. Ileana is sweet and subtle in her tiny role. The old actress who is playing Saurabh Shukla's mother, is the major plus point of this film. Whenever she comes on the screen, it is hard to control your smile. Apart from her, Amit Sial plays an important role to entertain people.<br/><br/>Ajay Devgn has given another good performance. Though, I have to admit that this is not his best. He has many roles which will be remembered by me, but not this one.<br/><br/>There are three songs. Last song by Papon is good. Other two songs by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are not required in the film. But, they don't take much time, so it's fine.<br/><br/>There are two dialogues which I really liked: 'Jo apni zuban ka nahi, Wo insan bhi hai kya!'& 'India ke officers ka nahi, unki Biwiyon ka bahadur hona zaruri hai!'<br/><br/>I went to see some extraordinary film, but it is not at all close. In my screen, where Ajay's fans came too, were not cheering or whistling, and I guess it's because the film lacks in punches. I don't know I am right or wrong, but as compare to Sonu or Padman, this film gives nothing to me (at least).<br/><br/>On the whole, if you are Ajay's fan, then go for it. Anyone can watch it one time. It is not bad. But for me, it is not superb, too.
