Ever since the theatrical trailer of Raid starring Ajay Devgn in lead was launched, people started drawing comparisons with Akshay Kumar’s Special 26. And why not, both the films revolved around the high-profile Raids that took place back in the past. That apart, the script of both the films were inspired by true stories. But well, the comparisons end right here.
While Special 26 was in-fact a heist, Raid, on the other hand, speaks about the hardships that the family of an income tax officer faces due to his honesty. The template of the film is very much like Singham, which spoke about an honest police officer and the price paid by him and his family due to a tiff with a powerful politician of Goa.
Special 26 was essentially a thriller, which appealed to the metro-centric audience of our country. Having watched the trailer as well the song, it would not be wrong to say that the prime target of Raid would be the audience at the B and C centres as the business in the metros would majorly be dependant on the word of mouth.

In the past, Ajay Devgn confirmed that the screenplay of Raid has a lot of humour and we got to see a glimpse of the same even in the theatrical trailer of Raid. If the humour strikes the chord with the audience, the business of Raid would be much higher than Special 26 owing to a better universal appeal.
