Kaabil and Raees give the industry its Biggest Ever Day

The holiday for Republic Day on Thursday was the biggest ever day for the Hindi Film Industry, as the combined collections of Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil and Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees is Rs 44.97 crore – which is exactly the same as the reported collections of SRK’s Happy New Year on the Diwali holiday in 2014.

Both Raees and Kaabil showed big growth at the box office, with the business of both films peaking on Republic Day. Raees collected Rs 26.30 crore, showing growth of 29% over Wednesday. The jump was good because, unlike Kaabil, Raees was recording very high occupancy on the first day.

Kaabil had started slow on Wednesday and there was ample scope for growth across all theatres in the country. Due to positive reports, the escalation in business was better than expected with the film collecting Rs 18.67 crore (79% growth) on Day 2.

The key will be the level at which both films hold on Friday. Both have shown drops compared to the occupancy level on Wednesday. Raees has shown bigger drops, which was again expected because of the excellent opening. Kaabil has managed to hold, with some centres recording better occupancy compared to shows on Wednesday morning.

    HR & SRK (combined) 44… and they say he is the biggest lol… my foot.

  • Boxoffice india blindly favouring raees i mean yesterday they mentioned in their estimates that kaabil has collected 16 crs and also mentioned that its tamil and telugu version has witnessed jump with 50-60 lacs collection on day 2..but today they make the total collections 50-60 lacs and when i visited that page again they have removed that note from the end so we can clearly see the conspiracy against kaabil…#shame

  • Dono milakar bhi suktan ka 300 corore nahi tod payengi dangal ki to pucho hi mat aukat se bahar hai srk ki aukat 200 cr. 1bhi nahi hai 150 par raees wale khushi mana rhe hai

  • @indicine, Why you don’t say collection from the trades? because they don’t manipulate and producers saying lie because they want to get positivity. Kabil Thursday collection is 15.5 crore by trade and you said 18.67, which is wrong and it can affect your site credibility.

    NOTE reported collection not orignal lol
    bhai if rakesh Roshan is manipulTing
    than he is not manipulating like srk 1st day 10 cr manipulation
    ??

  • We nepalese love your website indicine team salute to u guys fr making it more fan-friendly. Since kaabil and raees release we are closely following bo numbers but why there is variation in kaabil bo numbers compared to raees? i meant producer fig and trade fig. Also please give us clear view on which figure is more accurate .By the way, here in Nepal both have equal shows in single screens and both movies are being loved though to me i feel raees has little bit edge because of its genre so from Nepal raees will emerge as winner. Lastly, i wanna know how much a bollywood movie collects from Nepal i am sure its not much but figure will b higher than nepalese movies here. Please reply indicine team thank you

  • Only Salman Khan God of Universe rules. Raeesa Bhabhi is at 46.73 crores and NaKaabil is on 29.10 crores, so combined collection of both the movies is 75 crores, AND SULTAN CROSSED THAT MARK IN 2 DAYS ONLY
    ALL HAIL SALMAN KHAN ( GODGATHER OF AAMIR, SRGay, AMIT, RAJESH ETC )
    #True Salman Fans

    @indicine Bollywood Shahenshah Mr.Amitabh Bachchan ki Tweet par 1 article to banta hai boss

  • What a outstanding performance by Hr maza aa gya yaar. First time i watch Hr movie on big screen …… Totally enjoying all about #Kaabil

  • @Jolly akki so People come out big to watch movies on National Holidays? So tell me Akshay Kumar highest single day collection on National Holiday
    Hrithik 35
    Ajay 32
    Akshay ? Leave Rakeshji alone He makes entertaining and expensive movies same with Ajay considering Shivaay appreciated by family audiences I will like to see Akshay make a movie only in his dreams. Highest number of Flops still on Akshay record.

  • Finally watched Kaabil and it is below average movie. Anyway it is doing better collection than what should have been. Will watch Raees on Sunday.

  • The funniest thing is- Being a SRK fan, I still don’t watch Raees. Actually, I was too busy till yesterday. Booked 2 tickets for 10pm show. Planning with family on sunday as well.

  • Its a tight slap to those who said hny dint collected 45cr on first day … Finally truth has won … Bhaitards just accept that your criminal star cannot beat SRK in opening which is real test for stardom .. !! As I said there are only 3 superstars in Bollywood SRK EID & CHRISTMAS..!!

  • Wow 79% jump from opening day to any other day is the highest ever recorded jump for any movie of recent time. Hats of Hrithik.

  • Watched kaaabil,,,,, its avg movie….. Highly movie coz of Sympathy & heart touching last 15min, without last 15min der r nothing new nor special things,,,, Raees are far better than kaabil, gud to see both KAABIL & Raees are clean movie u can go wid Family Frends,

    Go guys and watch both the movie,,,

  • Kaabil makers should be ashamed of themselves for manipulating collections by 3 crore each day !! Really a disgusting way to stay close to Raees collections !! Correct collection of kaabil is 23 and raees 47 absolutely no comparison !! Raees just thrashed kaabil upside down !!

  • Without Raees this kabil will be a flop. It earns the anti srk movie goers. 2 day now 26 but then it will be 13 or 14 coz it is dull emotional movie…

  • manipulating collections by 3 crore each day !! Really a disgusting way to stay close to Raees collections !! Correct collection of kaabil is 23 and raees 47 absolutely no comparison !! Raees just thrashed kaabil upside down !!

  • My friend who sees all film released irrespective of any actor
    Saw kaabil yesterday was saying that 1st half was good second half wad not good
    So all the critics or websites praising kaabil have been paid by papa

  • #nepali fan of bollywood#
    I am also an akkian from Nepal so if u want to know the box office of Hindi movies of Nepal u can check it on Nepali box office. By the way sultan is the highest grosser collecting approx 9 crore beating the previous record of dhoom 3(7crore).
