Ajay Devgn’s dead-eyed performance barely registers, but the movie’s best character is its villain, a Lalu Prasad Yadav-like figure who has lost control over his brood. Saurabh Shukla’s superbly judged performance steers clear of the cliches associated with the venal heartland politician. His villainy and ability to stir up trouble are never in doubt, and when he protests that he has no idea what his family has been up to in his name, you almost feel for him.


Almost, but not quite – this movie’s moral compass is in the right place. Raid is clear on its rights and wrongs. Once upon a time in India, but not too long ago, it was conceivable that principled officers could do what they had signed up for, Gupta suggests. Political interference had already seeped in – the proof lies in Amey’s frequent job transfers – but it was still possible to thump the rulebook and hope to get somewhere.


As Amey says, I am an atheist who believes only in Bharat Mata, and I am now going to meet her.


Even Indira Gandhi seems touched by Amey’s crusade. In a laugh-out-loud moment, she praises his actions, scoring a not-so-subtle goal for detractors of the current regime.

Gupta’s allusions to present times are unmistakable. “No mob has ever been punished till now,” remarks a member of Rameshwar’s household as his constituents are recruited to discourage Amey’s efforts. The emphasis on punishing black money hoarders has resonance beyond the plot’s events, and the images of stapled packets of rupee notes and gold biscuits that tumble out of Rameshwar’s household create vivid metaphors for the insidious nature of corruption. Undeclared income is all around, and all it needs is a bit of digging, Raid says. That turns out to be its most enduring idea.
