Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees was outstanding for the second consecutive day at the box office, as the film – as per early estimates, has shown growth of around 20-25% on Thursday to take its 2-day total to around the 47 crore mark.
The film continued to outperform Kaabil almost all across the country, with Raees now almost becoming a craze in muslim dominated areas and single screens. It’s a typical masala film, where the lead star (in this case, a megastar) plays a larger-than-life role. The fact that SRK hasn’t played a role like this in a very long time, seems to be really helping the film at mass centres – Don 2 was in the same space, but was on the classier side and targeted at the multiplex audience. Hence, the impact wasn’t as much as Raees.
The masses are celebrating Shah Rukh Khan after a very long time, reports are coming in that the atmosphere at theatres is almost festive-like. It’s a genre that he hasn’t fully explored in his career, preferring overseas-shot classier films instead. If Raees continues to perform, it’ll probably change his mind and do films that also appeal to the ‘forgotten’ section of the audience (the industry doesn’t do enough films for them anymore).
The advance booking for tomorrow (Friday) is good, with tickets worth 2-3 crore sold in advance, so the film should continue its good run. A total of 15 crore plus on Friday would be extraordinary, while anything below 14-15 crore would be a normal drop for a working day. Anything below 13 crore will be a cause for concern.
Raees is ruling the box office and now has a significant lead over Kaabil. The next few days will give us a clearer picture on whether Raees can continue to hold on to the lead, or the gap narrows down. A 150 crore plus total is SRK need to ensure that Raees is a big success.

Hope that Raees collects more than 150 Cr. I think Kaabil will also score 100 Cr+.
Very good collection…!
Best of luck both srk and hritik sir ..!
Waiting for Tubelight..!!
Only 26cr??? HNY earned 45cr on day1 from 3800 screens. Therefore Raees must have earned at least 35cr from 3400 screens.
#Dissapointed!!!

Raees will be a flop.Kaabil will surely bounce back.Mark my words.
Salman and aamir needs big weekend to give biggest opening .. But for srk his name is enough for grand opening .. Really biggest superstar of the world .. !!
blockbuster
150 still is a very big task ..bcuz kabil wom is very postive..! But if it does then ..srk khan back in form..!
I think wom is mixed for Raees in mass centres also…
blockbuster film hai..
HNY earned 45cr on day1 on just 3800 screens. Therefore Raees+Kaabil must do 50+cr business on Republic on 4800 screens.
super hit hai bae superhit
TIll 2016, Eid – in the month of June/July.
In 2017, Eid – in the month of January.
Love you my Muslim brothers. You have simply thrashed the ‘Sanghis’ and few BJP retards – ‘Dog’ vijayvargiya is one among them (who were asking the audience to boycott Raees ) by watching Raees in theatres.
KING KHAN->> Naam hi kaafi hai :-)
outstanding
Mianbhai ki daring rocks at the BoxOffice.
super srk
kaha tha na Apna time shuruuuu
100 cr extended weekend looks possible now.
Lifetime around 150 cr.
Verdict – HIT.
Extremely happy for SRK. No movie has collected more than 130 cr in the month of January, but Raees will not only cross that mark but will also set a new benchmark despite of having a tough competition.
Respect!!!!
Just can’t imagine how Raees would have been performed, had it got a favourable release period.
it will crash on monday, please update kaabil BO collection
Great going love u srk
badshah is back
fans do continue to watch raees
Really dissapointed by d cheap activities of #Kaabil team n HR fans
Some guys r really pathetic
Saw lots off clashes
Ppl tend 2 show bigger collection s of der films
But nvr seen such pathetic mindset
Where u try 2 manipulate others film collection.
I m really shocked
Iove bollywood movies n i can proudly said
Dat i watched 90 % releases in theaters
N always praised good work
But this s shameful n if u r supporting dis thing den its only d loss of bollywood
Let ppl decided
All d best #Kaabil
kaha tha na Apna time shuruuu
I comment for the ID holder in the name of “honest man”( whose logic is a shame to the words ‘honest’ and ‘man’) who declared he will leave Indicine if Raees earns 25 crore on Republic Day. It is similar to earth-shattering opening on Festive holiday. So it’s time for you to leave and don’t show any excuses to come back. SRK is the biggest crowd puller in the whole world. Biggest Moviestar in the World for a reason.
politicions srk ko to rok loge lekin fans ko kaise rokoge
we r with u srk….
