Raees, Kaabil Runtime compared to other big films

Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees and Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil has been passed by the Censor Board of Film Certification with U/A certificate. Both films are on the shorter side, with the runtime of Kaabil at 139 minutes while Raees has been trimmed to a shade under 145 minutes.

Kaabil is the third shortest film of Hrithik’s career after Kites and Guzaarish. SRK has done several films that are shorter than Raees – including his last film FAN.

While runtimes do not exactly make a difference to the lifetime collections of films, it could have a significant impact on the opening day / weekend collections. More so when there is a major clash between two big films at the box office.

Exhibitors usually prefer films that have a ‘turnaround’ time of less than 3 hours. (gap between the beginning of one show and the next – which includes runtime of a film plus added time for theatre clean-up, audience exit / entry etc).

Since the runtime of both films are well under the 2.5 hour mark, both films are expected to get a fairly good number of shows at multiplexes. However, due to the clash, the shows will be divided and each film could lose anywhere between 30-50% of its business in the first couple of days.

    Kaabil will open under 10 cr

    Raees 1st weekend will be 100-110 cr
    Kaabil 1st weekend will be 40-50 cr
    Rest will depend upon wom

  • where is Holiday A Soldier is Never Off Duty?? From the list… This movie Has run time of 170 minute…

  • No doubt that Kaabil is giving tough competition to Raees..Kaabil music is outstanding…Loved by all..as compared to Raees music is not up to the mark…Kaabil day 1 could be around 12 – 13 Cr.

  • #Raees will be Super Hit
    #Kaabil will be Avg / Semi Hit
    #Raees will do 175+ cr.
    #Kaabil will do 75+ cr.
    #AamirSrk ??
    Ab Dangal Ho Ga

  • Giving a prediction for both these movies are very tough as both movies directors aren’t known for making good Films! My Prediction for now, will change after the movie releases:
    Raees:
    Day1: 18.3cr
    Lifetime: 140cr

    Kaabil:
    Day1: 10.7cr
    Lifetime: 79cr

  • Raees will easily beat Kaabil …. But I hope Kaabil will also cross 100+ cr. mark
    Raees will definitely cross 150+ cr. mark
    My Expections from Raees 175 cr.
    Kaabil 105 cr.
    Best of Luck n0w

  • I am convinced about two things.. SRK will get media support so expect Kaabil reviews to average to poor reviews.. Raees will be called best SRK movies in many years.

    Another thing is.. BOI will support SRK and put down the collections of Kaabil just to make it look like the collections have been inflated by Rakesh Roshan. They even tried to save SRK when Fan released.

    Its battle against all odds for Hrithik. I hope he wins!!!

  • “all of Hrithik’s film are clean family oriented, though Kaabil is revenge saga it is not excessively violent. It is a very emotional film & we feel it should be watched by everyone. It is the best revenge story since Ghajini”
    -CBFC

  • i know whole story of Raees. It has very deep and complicated storyline..i am surprised and happy that run time is 143 minutes and 54 secs…i thaught run time will be 160+ minutes.

    Kaabil on other hand has very simple storyline yet its 139 minutes?
    storyline..Raees is 4 minutes longer but has much deeper and complicated storyline

  • @tahshir, “both directors aren’t known for making good films” Dholakia is always considered as good director

  • Response of Raees from screening is negative as maby twitter post suggests. Its almost sure Raees is a bad product.
    On the other hand Kaabil has received good response but only 55 mins was shown .

  • @indicine, why not u show runtime of Akshay movies, how much money offer to u by Srk to side Akki & his movies. Bollywood is not only about Khans, there r lot more taled twd actors than Khans.

  • Office me tha
    Ek notification aya BMS se

    Raunte khara ho gaya dekhke

    Kyunki #Raees ane wala he
    Aur haters tum logo k pass sirf 4 din he aur kyunki 25 onwards
    Apna time Shuru

  • Kaabil , first day 50 Cr
    Raees , first day 01Cr

    Even God can’t save SRK & RAEES from complete washout.
    KAABIL All Time Blockbuster.

  • my prediction for both is:
    DAY 1:
    #Kaabil: 13cr
    #Raees: 17cr-18cr

    LIFE TIME:
    #Kaabil:103-110cr
    #Raess:115-120cr

    Verdict:
    #Kaabil superhit-blockbuster
    #Raees: average-above average

  • Kabil has 5. Song means 5*5 25 min 139-25=114 min. Koi mil gya emotion remake + gajni revenge remake …same copy kabil flop as long term

  • @Nipun:
    Dont believe in CBFC reviews we did the same for Fan and were utterly disappointed anyways hope Raees wins the clash but also want Kaabil to be successful.

  • In his recent interview Nawazudding said Raees lead role was first offered to him. Now all of us can figure out that Raees is an off beat movie. Even SRK said it about 8 months ago.
    When SRK is lead actor , 1 item song nd 1 romantic track is mandatory to show it has every commercial ingrediants.
