No offense but the same can be said about Dilwale. If Dilwale can earn as much as it did with all kinds of protest and a clash and full on negative campaign then underestimating Raees is a bit silly just like overestimating it would be. Nobody knows how the movie will turn out. All we're going by here is the first look. One that is probably the best first look we have seen of any movie in the recent times and no I'm not being biased when I say that. As for Sultan, I don't think we should underestimate it either. Ali might not been known as the greatest director but he is known for making entertaining movies. I quite enjoyed his MBKD. The most important factor here is there should be no protests when it comes to Raees. I think that's something hardly anyone is considering as people think the authorities will spring into action. The authorities will only do that if they're told to. And these right wing groups will concoct all sorts of reasons to protest if they wish to. They didn't let Bin Roye release in Maharashtra so Mahira being in Raees would be a reason enough for them if they're in the mood to protest. That's all I'm apprehensive about. At the end of day both Shahrukh and SK have their own set of fans so those people will definitely make a choice. As for the neutral it depends on what kind if movies they turn out to be. Raees from the first look of it seems like an intense movie. The clash ain't bothering me as much as the apprehension regarding protests.
