finally witnessed the clash between Shah
Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan on the big
screen with their film Raees and Kaabil
going head to head at the box office. While
both the films that were contrastingly
different had their own merits it was finally
down to the audience to play judge and
jury to their eventual box office fate.
However, even before their release the
popular sentiment was that Raees that
features Shah Rukh Khan in a grey shaded
character would emerge as the leader
considering that the actor is in fact and
bigger name and enjoys an ardent fan
following. On the other hand, Hrithik
Roshan though not among the big Khans of
Bollywood is a major star in his own right
who enjoys a fan following that might not
be as big as Shah Rukh's. Resultant of this
was clear that Raees would emerge as the
leader at the box office.
In this report we take a look at the box
office performance of both the film in the
overseas markets to analyze how different
were the two in terms of collections. With
just a glance at the figures it is plainly
evident that Shah Rukh Khan's Raees has
emerged as the clear leader, taking a huge
lead over Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil.
