It depicted a true story about an Income Tax Department raid conducted in the 1980s, with Ileana portraying Devgn's wife. The initial instalment of the film drew inspiration from a genuine income-tax raid carried out by officers of the Indian Revenue Service during the 1980s. It showcased Devgn portraying an upright income tax officer conducting a raid on a powerful figure in Lucknow. The movie garnered praise from reviewers and was a hit at the box office.
