"Fearless Income tax officer" has a very significant meaning in this movie. In India, 1 million candidates compete in a very tough exam and just 1000 are selected through civil services exam. These officers are very respected and powerful in public view. So this movie shows the power clash between the two important govenment figures. One being corrupt politician and the other "fearless" Income tax officer.
It should have been Income Tax Officer. There was no need to mention fearless. It sounds like genuine police officer, punctual class teacher, honest doctor. It is weird.
I have like posted many comments... Pls watch ratchasan movie.... U have to look into tamil language movies also... Pls review ratchasan movie. There are best performances from regional movies like tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali etc. Pls review in a cycle of languages.. You have to dig deep into two of the most brilliant actors like kamal hasan and especially Vikram...
Good movie. It's a movie where a politician has amassed great wealth through tax evasion, and nobody dares lay a hand on him until ..... a brave income tax officer ....
Fearless officer is a really important term, raid is very different in culture from USA..... To do a raid in India is really a big deal😂, who do raids according to rules are considered heroes 🤦♂️
Well here if there is a disparity between your source of income and your assets, the income tax officials can get a warrant and conduct a raid to check if you are hoarding black money. Black money is a huge problem in India where a majority of the economy is cash based. I haven't seen this movie, but it looks like a politician or local thug has amassed illegal wealth through bribery, extortion or plain old tax evasion. These people have powerful connections and for an officer to go after them could mean an end of his career or worse, death.
This is based on a true story a senior politician's house was raided by the Income Tax Department. This happened in the early 80s. This politician had hoarded tonnes of money and had evaded taxes and had carried out many illegal money transaction.
@Dead Soul When does Aishwarya Rai not look stunning? But, in this movie there was a great scope 4 her to express her acting abilities too. And she's done a great job, in my opinion. I watched and liked the movie specifically becoz of her.
A fierce officer from Income Tax who didn't even feared the Prime Minister. Yes, the guy whose house is on raid...since he has political connections, he was suggested to seek help from the then Prime Minister...and she somehow was convinced to stop the raid and ordered the officer to stop it. But little did she knew who she was messing with. The officer played the game and threw the move right at the Prime Minister. A must watch for Rick and Korbin. You'll enjoy the songs too which are soulful which will touch your heart for sure. And the movie, is a complete bang on since the minute it starts!!😍
Finally OSR coming to the older recommended trailer that had already been requested a lot. Finally u explored the Versatility of Ajay Devgn in any role that he performs. He is truly finest actor Bollywood has ever got. This is a must watch film to u guys! Plz review it asap! 🙏
America is a capitalist country where power is accumulated in big business's hand and there is not much role of government to play while India being a socialist country has extremely powerful government control and a strong bearucracy. That's why brilliant and ambitious minds gets attracted to private sector in USA and Government sector in India.
@@user-vt3gw7nu7h During Indira Gandhi times we were much more socialist. It took a lot of reforms to come out of it. Although we are not completely out still. Our government still runs businesses. That is socialist.
Yes it's a true story ....it's based on my Uncle's life ...He is a income tax officer and story itself tells how fiercely he fought against those culprits....You must watch it....
Yes, in India, if the rich hide assets or money without paying taxes, the income tax department has the right to raid the respective individual and seize the assets. Please watch it. It's a good movie. Mr Rick , please let me know about your health, you look pale. Please take care.
100% watch it guys...its an actor's delight just to watch and marvel at Ajay and Saurabh's acting prowess in this...their word battles are the USP of the movie...its damn fine movie.
It is good movie, yes a true story, the antagonist is an awesome actor Saurabh Shukla (yes, was also in barfi). Also, please watch amazing web series Panchayat on amazon prime.
Surely must watch Ajay devgn movie recommendations: 1. Legend of bhagat singh - national award winning performance 2. Raid 3. Company/ Rajneeti 4. Omkara 5. Zakhm Many more
The writing of RAID by Ritesh Shah is fabulous 😍.. the screenplay & Dialogue is fantastic. Direction by Rajkumar Gupta is done well and Ajay Devgn- Saurab shukla nailed it
Underrated movie.. Ajay and Saurab Shukla did a good job as usual. In India the 1% rich has more money than the govt. At least it was like that for till 80s
The purpose of an income tax raid is to seize and curb illegal wealth/black money. Black money or unaccounted money refers to illegal income on which taxes have not been paid. I know you know this but I think you don't know that tax evasion was VERY COMMON IN INDIA, especially at that time. Black money is also very common in India and income tax raid is very common too, and about "fearless" income tax officer, you'll understand why fearless once you watch the movie. It's definitely worth a watch not only for Ajay Devgn, but to understand some of the system of politics, raids and economy in India, and for SAURABH SHUKLA, he's another amazingly underrated actor. I would also recommend you guys to watch the trailer of RAJNEETI. It has some of the most amazing actors: Ranbir Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Manoj Bajpai, Nana Patekar, Arjun Rampal and a lot more.
You must watch this film. This kind of stuff that looks to be impossible but it does happen in India. You would definitely love this film. This would be a 2-3 hour complete amazement. You must watch this
Income tax department in India is the same as IRS in USA. So IRS audit is something similar to IT Raids conducted in India. They still happen today. Korbin was spot on about the antagonist in the movie, except he is also a powerful politician. It’s definitely worth watching this movie. The Raid rules are accurately explained in this movie. Finally IT raids happen to people who are suspected of tax evasion.
It is an adaptation of more than one true story combined and not one single raid as shown in the movie. It is a good movie. I just watched it last week, thanks to lockdown 😛
Raid is based on real life IT raids that were conducted by the IRS or Indian Revenue Service back in the 80s. The film has been loosely based on the raids carried by then Income Tax Commissioner of Lucknow, Sharda Prasad Pandey. He was said to have carried out the longest raid in the history that lasted for more than 18 hours. In fact, there were around 90 officers who were present to carry it out and almost 45 people to count the notes. The raid was carried out in the house of businessman and Congress MLA Sardar Inder Singh in Kanpur. Apparently, almost 1.6 crores were recovered in cash. But the raid was carried out peacefully. Given the appearance of Indira Gandhi in the Black Jama Hai song, this might just be true!But this does not negate the fact that raids also had risks. In fact, the film seems to have added the risk factor from other real life raids, like that of paper mill owner Harish Chhabra and jewellery dealer Chitranjan Swarup where investigating officers were assaulted by mobs.
He is doing one after another very good films these days but you should watch his very early films😉. Started as an absolute overnight sensation!And the songs are also dope!
