‘Raid’ is a 2018 Indian crime thriller film directed by Raj Kumar Gupta. Set in the 1980s, it follows the story of Amay Patnaik, an honest income tax officer played by Ajay Devgn. Patnaik leads a high-stakes raid on the influential politician Rameshwar Singh's (played by Saurabh Shukla) residence, suspecting him of massive tax evasion. As the intense cat-and-mouse game unfolds, Patnaik faces various challenges, including political pressure and threats to his family. The film explores themes of corruption, integrity, and the power struggle between a dedicated officer and a cunning adversary, creating a gripping narrative within the confines of a single raid.
The story was inspired by the true events involving Sardar Inder Singh, a Congress politician, whose residence in Madhya Pradesh was subjected to a prolonged three-day and two-night raid by IT officers in the 1980s. This raid stood out from others due to its extended duration, making it the longest in India's history.
