Raees dropped again on the second Friday with collections around 2.75 crore nett. The total collections of the film are now around 114.50 crore nett. The collections are still a little ahead of Kaabil but now both films are doing similar business The collections dropped around 35% from the previous day as there was a big reduction screens but some of that was compensated by the higher weekend ticket rates. The second weekend may go to around 10 crore nett or a little higher but that is not good for a big film like Raees. The business of Raees till date is as follows.
First Week - 1,11,75,00,000
Second Friday - 2,75,00,000
TOTAL - 1,14,50,00,000
The lifetime business of the film will not stay below Dilwale (2015) as that film did manage to sustain a little better possibly as it was Xmas period as the public response to that film was not really better than Dilwale.

Kaabil had a low second Friday with collections of 2.50 crore nett which has taken the total business to 69.50 crore nett apprx. The film dropped around 15-20% from the previous day which is not bad but the collections are too low and to get any decent final total the film had to show growth on its second Friday. The film has managed to get the closest it has ever been to Raees but the collections are still a little less. There should be good growth on the second Saturday and maybe it could get even closer to Raees but that remains to be only target for the film as its box office fate is sealed. Even if the film does start to collect more than Raees on a daily business it will still struggle to make any major dent in the lead of Raees The business of Kaabil till date is as follows.
First Week - 67,00,00,000
Second Friday - 2,50,00,000
TOTAL - 69,50,00,000
The business of the film is poor across all circuits of India though it has managed to go ahead of Raees in places like Rajasthan, CI and East Punjab. The weekend of the film could go to around 10 crore nett and or even a little higher but a 20 crore nett second week is impossible and that is where the film problem is as a big film that does not open well has to atleast get 20 crore nett in week two.
