Plot and Legacy
The original Raid, inspired by a real-life income tax raid from the 1980s, was a critical and commercial success.

Released on Diwali, the film brought back Ajay as Bajirao Singham alongside an ensemble cast including Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Ranveer Singh, and Deepika Padukone. Despite clashing with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Singham Again has been a box-office hit.
