Raees review|Box office thread - Page 59

all are saying that second half is not upto the mark..hmm.

Will be going in a few hours now.. 😊

The mighty box office battle has begun, as
Shah Rukh Khan-Mahira Khans Raees and
Hrithik Roshan-Yami Gautam's Kaabil hit the
screens today. Both the films are really
exciting, so obviously the movie going
audience will catch both the films. However,
looks like Raees has taken a better opening
as compared to Kaabil.
At the multiplexes, Raees opened to 80-90
percent occupancy in the morning shows,
while Kaabil managed a decent 40 per cent.
However, there is no need for Hrithik fans to
worry as Kaabil is fighting back. Rajender
Singh Jyala, VP-Programming and
distribution, at INOX, revealed to us
exclusively, "Raees had opened to almost full
houses. Kaabil is shooting up now, it did not
open to great numbers, but it is fighting
back now. It opened with an occupancy of
40 per cent in the morning shows, but it has
picked up since then. So Raees had upper
hand according to the morning shows, but
by the evening, Kaabil will catch up mostly."

Kaabil clash day is INSPIRING )
According to current reports, the overall
occupancy (including the multiplexes and
single screens) of Raees is more than Kaabil.
Shah Rukh Khan's film is managing to
maintain a 65 per cent occupancy across
India, while Kaabil is closing in with an
occupancy of 40 per cent.
For those of you who don't know, Raees is
about a bootlegger - Raees Aalam (Shah
Rukh Khan) whose business in Gujarat is
disrupted when a tough cop - ACP
Majmudar (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) is
transferred to his city. The film also marks
the debut of Pakistani actress Mahirah Khan,
who plays Raees' love interest Aasiya in the
film. Those who have watched the movie
insist that it is Nawaz-SRK's face off that is
the highlight of the film and his camaraderie
with Zeeshan Ayubb, who plays Raees' best
friend and accomplice in the film. (Also

Kaabil, on the other hand, is a love story of
Rohan (Hrithik) and Supriya (Yami Gautam).
The film directed by Sanjay Gupta turns into
a revenge drama when the villains Rohit and
Ronit Roy play the baddies in Hrithik-Yami's
love story. The film has managed a thumbs
up from critics and many have termed this
as Hrithik's best till date.
