Rating: 7/10

Raid is a tense, gripping, and refreshingly realistic crime procedural powered by fantastic performances from its two leads. Director Raj Kumar Gupta delivers a taut and compelling cat-and-mouse game that builds palpable suspense within a single location.

Highlights
- Sharp Storytelling: The screenplay is a sharp and intelligent procedural that creates a tense and engaging narrative by focusing on a single, high-stakes event.
- Fantastic Performances: Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla deliver phenomenal performances as the stoic IRS officer and the powerful politician, making their psychological battle captivating.
- Suspenseful Direction: Raj Kumar Gupta's direction is taut and suspenseful, building tension within the single location and making the search for hidden money feel like a thrilling treasure hunt.

Criticisms
- Unnecessary Subplot: The subplot involving Amay's wife feels tacked-on and unnecessary, detracting from the more compelling action at the raid.
- Repetitive Middle Section: The film's single-location focus can make the middle section feel slightly repetitive.

Verdict
Raid is a smart, tense, and incredibly well-acted crime thriller that's a must-see for the fantastic on-screen duel between Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla. It's a gripping procedural that proves you don't need over-the-top action to create a thrilling cinematic experience.
