Raid
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is a realistic and hard-hitting thriller that keeps you hooked right till the end.
-
...is a film that caters to public sentiment against black money and corruption. All in all, this one’s right on the money.
-
...is undoubtedly relevant, more human and realistic than a run of the mill political potboiler, it’s a compelling piece of cinema in the end that has a subtle reaction to the black money issue, it conducts the raid (read engages) the audience and makes the noise without shouting on top.
-
The film however scores not so much for the story alone, as in its telling.
-
Watch Raid because despite the corruption around us, we still believe we can win the war against black money hoarders. Also, watch it for Ajay Devgn’s intensity.
-
This is not the kind of fare you might expect to set your pulses racing, but that is precisely what it achieves in its closing scenes. Raid is not regular Bollywood. What it is though is thoroughly entertaining.
-
...does have its moments of compelling optimism and unexpected wit. It's also the most I've enjoyed watching Ajay Devgn in a while.
-
A seat edge drama with brilliant dialogues makes it a praiseworthy film.
-
...the dramatic scenes between Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla alone are worth the price of the ticket. Watch the film if you like manly heroes quitely going about their jobs and villains who can be gentlemen at times.
-
It doesn’t entirely capture your imagination but doesn’t rob you of your better sense either.
-
...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.
-
What could have been a crisp, engaging narrative becomes a ‘not bad’ thriller because of uneven pace.
-
The dialog is tight, the good guys are as smart as the bad guys are clever, the danger seems real and it's money well spent when you watch this film. If only the thrill of watching money tumbling out of walls was not marred by silly songs and a whiny wife.
-
Gupta works hard to inject a thriller quality to a cinema-unfriendly plot.
-
With a tighter editing, slightly less focus on the wannabe love story and a lesser dose of melodrama, Raid could have been a gripping thriller.
-
It’s promising and delivers many rousing moments, but it runs out of steam well before the finish line.
-
Even as Raid raises pertinent questions on lionising immoral heroes and ignoring the ones who actually do the right thing, it lacks vision and wastes the opportunity to dive deep into this discrepancy.
-
In spite of these right noises things still don’t turn out rousing enough on screen. A messy climax and clumsy reveal further seal the deal.
-
...is a repetitive film, with a straight-laced, dull protagonist.
-
A solid premise ruined by a total lack of feel for masala filmmaking.
-
...had potential, but it comes off overlong and tepid.
