Raid

It's not a masala movie... it's not for those who take advantage of corruption... "RAID" real life events... and superb acting by all actors...specially ajay devgn, saurabh sukla and mother of Saurabh sukla. Great filmography Bodhaditya Banerjee... Song "Jhuk Na Paunga..." my rating 4*

What a brilliant performance done by Ajay Devgan Fabulous Dialogues Saurabh Shukla is awesome Story is fantastic

Raid has been one of those movies where the script and the plot demand it to be kept short. Raj kumar Gupta knew it very well and with a run time of 122 mins he decided not to be over ambitious. The entire movie is based upon a single raid and 80% of the movie is shot in a single house. Therefore it was a herculean task to keep the movie interesting. Raj kumar Gupta has been able to keep the audience hooked through the earnest performances of his lead and supporting actors. The dialogues seemed real and were not over filmy. Despite being an entertaining watch there are some noteworthy flaws in the writing and it is not easy to ignore them. For instance, in the first half Ajay Devgan and his team could not find any of the black money but as soon they found the first lot, they started finding the money from very part of the house. These are some of the glitches but overall it is a nice watch if you can ignore them

Saw this in a theatre. The plot is about an honest n brave income tax officer who conducts a raid at a very powerful man's house. As a fan of Devgan, i went to see this without watching the trailer or reading any reviews. It is a very mesmerizing film with solid tension n suspense throughout. Apart from awesome acting by Devgan n Shukla, the best part was the editing. U dont feel bore for even a sec. The climax reminded me of a zombie film where hordes of angry mob have surrounded people who are inside a house n anytime the mob can barge into. The background song during the climax was good too n so was the mild twist. Two things bothered me, first the romantic song n second, during the end scene it takes the mob a helluva time to break n barge into the room even after the door being wooden n glass one whereas....... Still i loved the film n Devgan was terrific. His HMT watch was awesome.

All things considered, leading the greatest raid ain't a simple thing as the authorities uncovering gold coins and unbounded notes from divider roofs, sewers et cetera. Yet, it gets repetitive when all that the story sticks to is demonstrating the raid unfurl gradually. While there were a couple of scenes that evoked chuckles and applauds, the plot didn't appear to have anything different. Likewise, IT officials directing the raid obediently reminded us of Neeraj Pandey's 'Special 26' where Akshay Kumar held the reins. Be that as it may, this raid does not have a similar profundity and power and just restricts itself to seem to be a verbal contention between a genuine IT officer and a degenerate lawmaker. You can foresee the result and that itself is the place the story misses out on some brownie points. While Ajay Devgn's turn as the courageous IT officer may inspire his fans, we believe it about time he reevaluates himself. On a parting note , don't go in expecting something much excessively charming, yet keep your ears open for some great dialogues!
