New Delhi: As privileged viewers, actor Ajay Devgn's family were treated to an advance screening of his new film Raid, which released today. Ajay organised a family-special preview in Mumbai on Thursday for wife Kajol, their son Yug, mother-in-law Tanuja and sister-in-law Tanishaa. Their verdict was delivered on Twitter after the show - and while Kajol, unsurprisingly, 'laughed and clapped' through the film, it was seven-year-old Yug who was most enriched by the experience. Yug's review: "I learnt about income tax." Raid, as the name suggests, is about an income tax raid with Ajay cast as a tenacious taxman. Read Kajol and Yug's reviews:
Raid opened to good reviews today. Saibal Chatterjee, reviewing the film for NDTV, gave it 3.5 stars and singled out for praise the performances of Ajay Devgn as income tax official Amay Patnaik and Saurabh Shukla as the crooked politician he raids. "Devgn's brooding presence, which shores up film, is reminiscent of the actor's Najaayaz and Zakhm days. Shukla is brilliant as the cynical politician who does not abandon his defiant stance even when the chips are hopelessly down. Together, the two actors give Raid its heft," writes Mr Chatterjee.
Raid, directed by Rajkumar Gupta, is based on real life income tax raids conducted in the Eighties. Ileana D'Cruz, last seen with Ajay Devgn in Baadshaho, plays his wife here.
