I agree, clashes are stupid and nasty...shd be avoided at all costs.
Clashes only create nasty fights, favoritism, taking sides, targeting one and overpraising another, its reeally UGLY!
It doesnt make sense, if both movies are good and have potential to be superhits then why jeopardize that possibility?
I hope SRK avoids all clashes from now onwards.
Instead of fixating on holiday releases, these stars shd aim for open weekends when there are no cricket matches or no exams.

Akki did a sensible thing
Good thing clash is avoided otherwise it would have gotten ugly like in Rustom/ MJD clash.

Crack is shelved. Budget issue.

Finally watched the movie!

What a movie! Some parts just give u goosebumps. Overall, a gret political crime -action movie,which i havent watched in for a long time.

First half was so good, i thoroughly enjoyed.Fantastic first half. It did live up it the description of Raees.. Baniye ka dimag or miyabhai ki daring. That is one thing i truly loved about this movie. Second half was a bit draggy, but the political game was really interesting and entertaining.



.The cat and mouse chase between Raees and Gulam patel , were so thrilling and it just clicked with me and i wanted to see more , and more of their scenes together. What chemistry, what spark they created.

.The ending really did connect with me. I was crying my eyes out, while watching the last scene. The emotional element , somehow really made the story more beautiful and complete and gave a good closure to his life.

.I LOVED , LOVED the action sequences. I never once felt, the action was too draggy. It was perfect. Some scenes were so raw and dark, which i havent seen in Bollywood action movies.

. The dialogues, and screen play and cinematography were done brilliantly. Some dialogues really hit right in the feels.

.SRK and Nawazuddin's FANTASTIC acting.
SRK, this man, I have seen him play various and very different characters in his movies. One thing i noticed that, he can play so many different characters, and none of them ever look similar to one another. Its like he just 'creates another person' from his character which is not SRK. He fully get immersed into the role and portray the character which he should portray.

I have seen him play a bad guy in numerous movies, but Raees in on another level. The body language, the dialogue delivery, just utterly splendid. His screen presence is WOW!. His eyes speak volume, whenever there is closeup of his eyes. His entry scene , gave me goosebumps. Raees, nd this character is going to be remembered for a long time. SRK delivered, one of the finest acting in his career.

Nawazuddin, was in his element, and he really did well.

Mahira was average. But i absolutely loved her and Raees scenes. Their scenes were so sweet and it stood out against the edginess of the story.

The songs were really good. Before the movie release, i only heard two songs , Laile mein laila and Zalima song. I loved these two songs, along with the Mika sing song, Udi Udi and lastly Saanson ke. Too many songs, but fit well with the scenes.

I wish a bit more of his childhood were shown, or the relationship with his mother were shown. That part was a bit lacking.

Rating : 3.5/5


Go and watch the movie. Paisa vasool.
PS: SRK looked so good, and i cant seem to take my eyes of him in any of the scenes.

https://www.bollyarena.net/raees-2nd-day-box-office-collection/

Raees 2nd Day Box Office Collection: Shahrukh Khan starrer has managed to end the dull phase at the box office. Raees got a massive opening, becoming this year's highest opener at the box office with 20. crore business on the first day of its release. On the second day, it has shown further growth. Take a look at Raees collection report.

Raees 2nd Day Box Office Collection Early Estimates

Raees has a terrific run on Thursday. As per the trade estimates, Raees 2nd day collection will be in the range of 26 crores. The film was not affected by the cricket match so the collections can go slightly higher.

The film started huge in the morning shows as the occupancy was in the range of 75%. It was extraordinary in Mumbai, Gujarat and South India. As Raees was performing at high levels in these areas yesterday also so there was not that big growth. However, North India was rocking and even East Punjab picked up due to the holiday advantage. It went higher up to 85-90% in the noon shows and then almost houseful in the evening. At many places in Mumbai, the film was housefull thanks to the local flavor. Raees collection also gained big jumps in Rajasthan and East India belt. West Bengal continues to rock big time despite the fact that it is a massy film.

Raees Thursday collection has shown very good growth from Wednesday. This is extraordinary stuff considering that it already had a terrific opening. But today was the National holiday which boosted Raees collection. Though, in mass centers, it has already touching capacity levels so there was not much margin of growth. Raees 2nd day collection will also be highest second day ever in a clash. It is also the highest collections on Republic Day Holiday.

Raees box office collection in 2 days will be more than 47 crores. The film is now facing competition from Hrithik Roshan starrer Kaabil which has gained momentum. The word of mouth will decide the final outcome which will affect the collections tomorrow. It has also performed extremely well in overseas. Raees collection in overseas will be approximate $1.45 million.

Raees 2nd Day Collection

26.0 Crore

Absolutely nothing wrong with normal days...they want the extra push that holidays give or in some cases hide behind the holiday to save them...nowadays movies only run for 2 weeks anyways so it's all about making as much money as possible in the beginning. As we go forward, there will obviously be more and more clashes because there's only so many major holidays in the year...and it's not long before everyone wants a piece of the pie.

I have just seen it. I enjoyed it. Spoilers ahead

Thought SRK was fantastic. I liked him in the scene where he's comes to realize what his actions have done. Mahira was good but her role was short. Zeeshan was ok. Nawaz was amazing. The fights were kinda ott. But they weren't that bad. Songs kinda got in the way. I like how he climbs up the ladder and the confrontation scenes with nawaz. Every time SRK and nawaz share scenes it was awesome. I think it was nice mix of class and mass. I'd give it an 7.5 out of 10 on my Maroon scale ⭐️ ⭐️

Think it will be a huge hit 😳
