Raid

Raid (2018) is a Hindi crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Ajay Devgn plays Amay Patnaik, a tax officer so incorruptible the system has shuffled him to a new posting forty-nine times in seven years.

The year is 1981, the city Lucknow. An anonymous tip sends Amay and his team into the mansion of the state's most powerful man — a member of parliament who has hidden his income for decades. Saurabh Shukla plays the patriarch as a soft-spoken host whose courtesy masks a household ready to fight back with money, contacts and a crowd at the gate. The search stretches across one long day and turns into a battle of nerves within four walls.

Director Raj Kumar Gupta keeps it almost chamber-sized: no car chases, no shootouts, just a warrant, hidden compartments and mounting pressure. It grows out of a real income-tax raid from the early eighties, one of the longest the department ever ran. Devgn underplays it, and the calm is exactly what makes it tense.
