Raaes is set for a huge Republic Day collection of around 26 crore nett as per early estimates. Although this number is not the biggest ever or even near but no film has ever done this sort of business with a clash and with the sort of limited capacity it has. It is the highest day collection ever for a film when there have been two films released on the same day. The growth is around 30% which is excellent comsidering it had a strong day one and its two total is around 46.50 crore nett. The numbers jumped well all over with solid growth at multiplexes and single screens. This was the only holiday and now it will be seen where the film settles on Friday. The trend is solid but it is the next two days that will confirm this.
Kaabil has shown huge growth on the national holiday as it has doubled up its collections to around 16 crore nett as per early estimates. This was a must for the film considering the poor start and even still despite the huge 100% jump collections are only 24 crore nett. But what this jump does is give the film a chance because if it had jumped just 50-60% which would have ben good but it would have also meant that the film is going nowhere. It still could be the case as this also happened with Shivaay which showed similar jumps on holidays but was flat on the other days. The national holiday number is what the film should really be doing on day one or at least close to it and now it must hold collections over the weekend and then a respectable extended five day weekend could come.
