Director Rahul Dholakia has said he is not worried about the upcoming clash between his film ‘Raees’ and Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Kaabil’. However, the ‘Parzania’ director also said people’s expectations from a big film featuring someone like a Shah Rukh Khan in the lead, worries him.
“As a director, the release date is not in my hand. So, I am not worried about ‘Raees’ and ‘Kaabil’ date clash, but people’s expectation.. ”
From the day we launched the trailer, people started expecting something extra special from the film, and rightfully so. It is a larger than life film starring actors like Shah Rukh, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Atul Kulkarni and some other fine actors of our time..”
“I just hope we match that and people love the film” he added.
Raees releases in theatres on January 25 2017.
Raees will be the 2nd flop after Ok Jaanu.
Come on srk fans show ur unity by seeing the movie on big screen after its release.enough YouTube records u ppl broke but what really matters is the record ticket sales at bo.ur tym starts from Wednesday.now d ball is in ur court srk fans..otherwise ur idol will be left by miles behind from amir n salman.
I know the following things won’t decide the fate of both movies but still posting it for fun. Let’s see where both movies stand going by star cast, banner, production, promos, direction :
Cast :
Raees – SRK, Nawaz, Mahira
Kaabil – Hrithik, Yami, Rohnit Roy
Srk & Nawaz are too good combo for Kaabil cast.
Trailer & Promos :
Raees – Outstanding teaser & good trailer followed by interesting promos
Kaabil – Average Teaser but good trailer followed by some average promos.
Raees scores over Kaabil.
Music :
Raees – It is catchy but no chart buster. Laila song is ruined.
Kaabil – Music is good and title song keeps playing in your mind & tongue. Saara Zamana is already at parties & pubs.
Kaabil Music is way better than Raees
Banner :
Raees – Excel & RCE
Kaabil – Filmkraft
Excel has committed so many blunders in last 2 years that its reputation has taken a toll. RCE is also not in great form after HNY’s manipulated collections & Dilwale debacle.
Filmkraft alone and without Rakesh Roshan direction may not look big as Excel + RCE but they have not committed any blunders and reputation is intact.
Direction :
Raees – Rahul Dholakia is known as art man and have never venture into commercial cinema. Barring Parzania none of his work is known to majority of audience. It will be huge task for him to justify Raees going by what we have seen in promos.
Kaabil – Sanjay Gupta has his own style of making movies. Most of them good on action but lacks in plot & good direction. His best work was Kaante. With Rakesh uncle for guidance he may surprise this time. Its a big gamble for him. Either clicks or spell doom for his career.
All the best to both movies.
Biggest challenge for Raees & SRK will be to reach 150 crs as SRK yet to reach this milestone without Deepika. It may end up with 130-135 crs with good wom. If mixed 100-110 crs and if negative like FAN it will end up with 80-95 crs.
I can understand but don’t worry Rahul sir Raees will meet the expectations and will be a block buster.
@hrithik, OK teacher ji …
We will see which movie crosses 200 crores in India and which movie fails to cross 100 crores …!!!!!!!!!!!
yes don’t worry Rahul Raees will create
history by clashing with other movie collect
more than 200.
The battle of Shivering vs Bleating begins on Jan 25.
Too much fun !!!!!!!!!!!
As per mechanic @sss Nawazuddin will save Raees & SRK like he saved Salman with Kick & BB but failed to save his own movies like Manjhi & Freaky Ali !!
