Release date is not under my control, not worried: Rahul Dholakia

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… 150+
    Kaabil…. 80+
    Both r superhits tension matt lo hr aur srk fans..aur overseas me to pta hi h kya hona h…

  • Raees will run in theatres for 4-5 weeks.
    Raees will do outstanding business in both India and overseas !!!!!!
    Raees will be winner in every way whether it is Opening, weekend, 1st week, lifetime in both India and overseas !!!!!

  • Expectations are sky high and the biggest challenge for Dholakia&Team is to live up to those expectations.
    With SRK’s presence, Raees is almost certain to take an humongous opening, however subsequent days will be driven by the content.
    Since both the movies are releasing with a five-days extended weekend, after first couple of days , it’s the content which can make or break their statistical equations.
    A movie with bad content will incur huge losses because by the time actual weekend begins (Fri-Sat_Sun), WOM will come into picture and that would sabotage the movie with inferior content.

    Promos are exciting, songs have clicked well so expecting a strong and catchy storyline from Raees.
    Fingers crossed….!!!!!!

  • I’m a srkian yet i’ll be happy if raees collects anything above 150 cr
    Y???
    Because
    a) republic day is no 300 cr weekend
    b) clash with kaabil

    So to all srkians stop trending #raees300cr
    #300crdhamaka because for now forget 300 even 200cr is a far fetched dream
    Real target for raees is 150cr

  • Raees makers are not worries at all
    But Ugly Roshans are badly crying for equal screens ….
    Did Rustom vs MD get equal shows that Rakesh Roshan wants equal screens for kaabil …
    Haven’t seen a such loser like Rakesh Roshan crying in front of exhibitors to give equal screens to kaabil.
    U should remember that kaabil is small movie and it doesn’t deserve more than 2300 screens !!!!!!
    What will happen to Roshans when SRK take on krish 4 ??????
    They will commit direct suicide !!!!!!

  • The only concern about Raees is Dholakia himself.
    He is not known for making commercial movies. At the same time, though he has been adored by critics, he is yet to achieve the commercial success.
    So I am a bit vacillated if he would have done proper justice with the commercial side of Raees.
    Rohit repeated the same mistake in Dilwale when he deviated from his strong zone (Action-Comedy) and put more emphasis on SRK-Kajol romance.

    Anyway, Jan 25 is not too far and I am hopeful that Dholakia will not only win the critical acclaim but he will also taste his first commercial success in the form of Raees.

  • sir dont worry we srkians will make raees biggest blockbuster ever i have booked 21 tickets for raees .I will be going with my colony friends also we have decided to see raees minimum 7 times i hope all srkians would have done the same .Srkians its time to show our real unity and to give answer to haters.

  • when salman or others come with Larger than life film then those are craps but when srk comes with it, that’s masterpiece lol most hypocrite fan base

  • Its immaturity at its best when some people say that Rae’s will crush kaabil or vice versa.let the movies first get released then v can debate about which movie will run.as of now anything can happen bcoz both the directors track records are pretty bad with sanjay Gupta having slight edge .

  • u have tried ur best to make good commercial film
    I don’t know much about the story
    but in raees I say guarantee that dialogue will be faadu paisa vasool
    khoob city bajega

  • THIS IS THE MATURE WAY TO REPLAY..

    ON THE OTHER HAND LOOK AT THE MATUROTY LEVEL OF SANJAY GUPTA AND RAKESH ROSHAN..

    BE CLEAR AND BE HAPPY RATHER THEN PLAYING BLAME GAMES..

    HOPE BOTH MOVIE ROCKS..

    #NEW ERA STARTS FROM RAEES..
    ATLEAST 180CR EXPECTED

  • Rightly said!Even Sanjay Gupta said something similar in his pretext for making mediocre films!
    He said ‘Making Good films is not under my control!!!Let RR handle all such hutiyapanti’

  • Don’t worry Rahul Dholakia, people does not expect anything from Srk and his movies……Or if they expect then Max we can think of 150cr from his movie……But now a days, even 100cr is big achievement for him……So Rahul relax…..

  • @Javed 4:28pm,
    Yes Audience is not blink like HR!
    To Add to this “Audience r not moonstruck to watch Sanjay Gupta’s crappy direction excepting few mentally challenged Jadoopuris!?
