Inspired by real-life I-T raids (high profile income tax raids) that were conducted by the officers of the Indian Revenue Service in the 1980s, Raid is written by Ritesh Shah and helmed by Raj Kumar Gupta. Besides Ajay Degn, the film also features Ileana D’Cruz and Saurabh Shukla in lead roles. Raid is bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak, while the music for the film is scored by Amit Trivedi, Tanishk Bagchi.
Raid, directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, earlier opened to a decent Rs 10.04 crore on Friday. The film had a healthy first weekend as it went on to mint over Rs 41 crore.
Going by the current trend, the film is expected to perform well for many days to come. At least till March 30, when Baaghi 2 will hit the screens, it should be a comfortable ride for Raid.
