Set in the 80s in Uttar Pradesh, India, Raid is based on the true story of one of the most high profile raids the country has ever known. Amay Patnaik (Ajay Devgn), an upright and no-nonsense Income Tax officer has already been transferred 49 times in the past seven years owing to his idealistic and courageous disposition to uncover tax frauds, hitting hard the pockets of many a big shot. When Patnaik is assigned the case of Tauji, a highly influential and feared man in Uttar Pradesh, little does he know that his unerring determination to bring Tauji to justice would culminate in the longest and most challenging raid of his career as also the history of the Income Tax Department of India. Would Amay succeed in the face of an increasingly stubborn and belligerent Tauji forms the crux of the story.

| The Times of IndiaRachit GuptaRaid is a film that caters to public sentiment against black money and corruption. All in all, this one's right on the money. |
| The HinduNamrata JoshiRaj 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. |
| The National (UAE)Kumar ShyamThe 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. |
| Scroll.inNandini RamnathUndeclared income is all around, and all it needs is a bit of digging, Raid says. That turns out to be its most enduring idea. |
| Film Companion ReviewsAnupama ChopraIn 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. |
| Hindustan TimesSweta KaushalWith a tighter editing, slightly less focus on the wannabe love story and a lesser dose of melodrama, Raid could have been a gripping thriller. |
| Gulf News (UAE)Manjusha RadhakrishnanRomantic strain was such a misfit in a thriller that would have benefited from tighter editing and sticking to its route of being an edgy crime drama. |
| User ReviewPallavi TGood Script, good actors & good acting! Definitely worth a watch. |
