The story is suspenseful and gripping. It is detailed, focused and believable. Top echelons of the Indian bureaucracy have been well portrayed in a believable and realistic way. There is a very human interest angle in the story and that has been effectively conveyed in just a few scenes. The mysteries in the 'White House' are a wonder. The crowd scenes have been filmed very well.

Saurabh Shukla can always be relied upon to deliver a stellar performance. He is the 'star' of the movie. He was a treat to watch, as always. Ajay Vevgn holds center-stage in the narration, in his quiet way. He is economical with his physical movements and facial expressions but gives depth to his role as an unassuming, grounded government tax officer. Amit Sial (as Lallan Sudheer), who has acted in several TV series like Inside Edge in 2017, has acted well. Pushpa Joshi (as Amma) effectively plays the role of the irrepressible, unconcerned and ancient mother. All the other actors were good.

Ritesh Shah has done very well with the dialogues (his past work is impressive, including dialogues for the movies Pink (2016), Airlift (2016), D - Day (2013), B. A. Pass (2012), Citylights (2014), Force (2011), and so on, all successful movies. The dialogues keep the whole story rooted to reality.

The casting was excellent and Pushpa Joshi was the icing on the cake.

The poster of the film shows only Ajay Devgn, the protagonist. Saurabh Shukla, the chief antagonist, could also have been shown.

The title could be misleading as it could refer to an intelligence, military, dacoit related or some other raid, not just a tax raid.
