Haven't seen it...but I am not surprised. Over last few weeks it became increasingly obvious this wasn't the movie Dholakia had originally wanted to make..he admitted he changed a lot of things based on feedback from trade guys, Farhan...he said he had planned to make Raees a docu-drama. SRK said it was a very hardhitting realistic film initially but things change when he comes on board by virtue of his stardom. Zaalima and all seem to have been added by SRK later. Dholakia admitted he thought it was too filmy. I think Dholakia got caught up in trying to make the film he wanted and still cater to SRK's commercial element and some things got left behind in that process...Dholakia is obviously pretty happy with the film overall, but it's not surprising if things were muddled up.

Rahul should've made what he actually wanted with the commercial elements. Release the commercial version in thearers and later director's cut in DVDs. 😆

He was looking so dangerous as a hungry lion!😲

That's why he's the most versatile actor of BW😳 just see his career...Darr, Bazigar, DDLJ, KKHH, KHNH, K3G, KANK, Swades, Chak De, Devdas, Paheli, Ashoka, MNIK, DON, Veer Zaara, FAN, DZ, RAEES...

He has done every kind of film! Is there anything left in his career?

Raees Also Easily Scores Over Kaabil In Overseas

Thursday 26 January 2017 15.00 IST

Box Office India Trade Network

Raees easily led over Kaabil in the Oveseas markets as well. Kaabil had poor collections while Raees has done very well in Gulf and Australia. The opening is the highest ever in Gulf for a non holiday midweek release at $500,000 and Australia was huge as it beat a film like Sultan despite opening midweek. The collections in US / Canada are pending while UK opening for Raees was good for midweek release and it will go wider on Friday. The film is looking to do huge business in Gulf while in markets like UK and US the midweek release does not tell much as working days don't really collect much so it is the Friday - Sunday period which will tell. Kaabil is dull in Overseas and is unlikley to do much in Overseas markets. Below sre the opening day figures from the major Overseas markets for Kaabil and Raees.

I think SRK shd only make safe projects from now on...safe matlab patriotic films, movies with larger than life heros with big heart, misunderstood saintly people, and so on.

But then the haters will find something else to bash him for, or pick on him.

But at least he will be safe from the intolerant gang if he injects patriotic feelings in every movie he does from now on.

Some political parties in Gujrat and elsewhere are still trying to get the movie banned and doing protests in front of the theaters. Read the news on Firstpost.

Box Office: Shah Rukh Khan's Raees Day 2 overseas box office collections

By Bollywood Hungama News Network

, Jan 26, 2017 - 10:30 hrs IST

Shah Rukh Khan has always enjoyed a massive fan following across the seas, in fact the actor's previous film bear witness to this fact with the immense collections they have managed to rake in. Now, unlike the conventional release pattern that sees Bollywood films releasing a day earlier in the overseas markets, the Rahul Dholakia directed film Raees starring Shah Rukh Khan sees a simultaneous release in both the overseas and domestic markets.

In this box office analysis we take a look at the overseas collections of Shah Rukh Khan's Raees, keeping in mind that the film faces competition from the Sanjay Gupta directed Hrithik Roshan starrer Kaabil that also released simultaneously.

In this box office report we take a look at the overseas collections of Raees on Day 2 (Thursday).

Australia box office
98,907 USD [Rs. 67.41 lacs] from 24 screens

New Zealand box office
12,940 USD [Rs. 8.82 lacs] from 12 screens

NOTE - Some screens yet to report.

That is actually not a bad idea. I would've loved to have had a directors cut of Raees. They could've made a cool collectors item out of it.
