Vikram Prabhu and Sri Divya reunite for Raid after Vellaikara Durai
Raid is the second collaboration between Vikram Prabhu and Sri Divya, who were seen together in the 2014 comedy Vellaikara Durai. Ananthika, Rishi Rithvik, Soundararaja and others also have pivotal roles in the film. Sam CS is the music composer of the film, which has cinematography by Kathiravan, editing by Manimaran, and stunts choreographed by K Ganesh.
Vikram Prabhu plays a cop who is also a goon in Raid
Raid is a crime thriller in which Vikram plays a police officer who is transferred to a new town. He has to deal with a strong gang there that has a ruthless leader. Vikram's character is determined to put an end to the gangster’s reign of terror and restore peace in the town.
Raid kicks off with a series of gruesome murders in the city. While Vikram plays a ruthless cop, the gangsters kill for money, while he kills for justice. After the trailer was released, the film looked promising, but it was criticised for having dialogues that were clichéd and lacking in depth. Overall, Raid is an action-packed film with all the elements of a complete commercial movie, replete with romance, action sequences and emotions.
