Why will Raees collections end just because AK's movie is releasing?

It will still run on some screens if they are still booked on those screens

Both films will lose screens...depends on who loses more multiplex as that brings more money

All may not be haters but you cannot surely deny SRK films get special hatred out here

I agree that people put on there thinking hats when SRK movies comes out. I am talking of true haters...not genuine fans who criticize. Haters forget the kind of stupid films their stars have done.

At the risk of repeating myself, movies are not soaps and shampoos...so dear haters...please start taking bath daily and then you will realize how a shampoo is different from a soap. Once you do that, you will understand how a raees is different from brainless south remakes.

It was decent,SRK did a good job and loved the look.Loved Nawaz he was extremely good . I felt trailer had built massive expectation that movie din't fulfill,director is at fault but SRK and Nawaz made up for it .

well said!
the first time when I saw the movie, I felt this not going to be a big hit. i felt it might get a clean hit tag due to its opening collection. the movie received strictly average reviews.
i loved shah in the movie more than the movie itself. i can still watch the movie again, only cos of shah. the ones who are neutral...its hard to find those neutral ones these days, they are going to like shah here and movie maybe, maybe not. and of course haters gonna hate him as usual.

the movie was flawed, it does not have universal feel, the kids are not going for this one, the women are also staying away, i don't know why some shouting this one for single screeners, i say not, it was a bit dark movie, gritty at times, the subject not going to be like by all. this is not your typical masala show.

ppl rushed to see it once, cos of shah , and superb trailer. the repeat show is not going to happen for this movie.

and yes there is kaabil too...which i have seen last night, is nothing more than an average affair. hritik's crying gets on my nerves as usual. but it is few notches above his previous MD, and epic bang bang. but don't tell me kaabil is some out of this world movie, and it is getting some super hit tag. its good thing it released with raees, with some controversy and haters rallying movie got decent WOM. trust me...its not more than an average movie.

lets appreciate shah's performance here, and accept that the movie did not work with aam janta. its a miss again for shah at boxoffice.

i loved shah in raees, even with flawed script, direction, delayed, bit out dated feel, and with competition, it is not an out right flop. shah did his job, gave movie that 2 days superb numbers.

i am not going to pressure shah to make a movie for me which is going to make 300cr at boxoffice. i am going to say now...do whatever you feel like, do the movies you like to do. can't be greedy all the time...asking for more, more, more.

i was angry when he was doing those CE, hny, ra1's etc, but what the heck ...everyone on top has to come down one day, and if these kind of movies made shah slip away at boxoffice, so be it.

even Amitabh bachchan's box office power declined at one stage of his career.
shah is a fantastic actor...and if he really he, he will be lapped again for his performances, if not for boxffice. look how amit is doing these days. he is stilling winning awards, and give epic performances.


its all good...if one day a biopic will be done on shah, it shouldn't only have his rise, it should also have his fall,that will make a perfect show.


now bring on imtiaz next.
hope it has ear pleasing music, shah is as charming as in DZ, anu will no doubt nail her act, i want to see a breezy romance act here.
shah will deliver again in Rehnuma, i am confident!

Bri we need numbers too

Ya we need numbers. There are several brilliant actors with zero BO pull ( Nawaz himself, Randeep Hooda, Rajkumar Rao). I would settle for a great role and great BO numbers from SRK, no less. And he has done that in the past, so he will do it in the future.

This is the reason he stated what he did in AIB podcast...😆. It's like when he does a movie that is in the realistic zone , folks are like why don't you do a love story and then he goes I'm doing one with Karan and they are like why Karan! 😆

Maybe it's me but I feel there are a lot of generalizations being drawn here. The first time I went to watch Raees , the theater was full! And the audience had people from all ages man , men and women, I even saw some kids! So this notion that the movie only appeals to one gender is I feel quite flawed. Yes , the movie does have a limited appeal in the sense that it's dark , it's intense , it has a sad ending , it's about a gangster so yeah I do agree that it's not your typical commercial movie that is meant for every demographic but I guess what I'm trying to say is that even in a multiplex , I saw the kind of atmosphere you see in single screen theaters and I did see families coming in to watch it as well! It can't have the appeal a DDLJ does or a Dangal does or a Bajrangi Bhaijaan does because the content is darn different . One has to compare it in context of that when it comes to the BO figures too.

This forum is a tiny part of the big, wide world

They hate srk here so spare no efforts to pull down his movie and declare its a flop even before final verdict is out

TRUTH is Raees will make at least 135 crores, it will make a record in January releases so far, highest collection for a Jan release that too in a clash.

Plus it is expected to make at least 100 crores worldwide

People outside India are appreciating the movie because they know how to appreciate a gangster movie instead of being moralistic abt it

They see it as a movie not real life...😆
