Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees continued to perform very well at the box office on Day 4. The growth in business on Saturday was excellent, with the film performing both at single-screens and multiplexes.
The trend is pretty good too, as massy films like Raees do not usually perform in circuits like Mysore and West Bengal – but it’s the box office pull of Shah Rukh Khan’s that is ensuring high occupancy both at smaller centres as well as high end multiplexes.
However, the clash is beginning to have an impact on the film at the box office as the other film ‘Kaabil’ is carrying excellent word-of-mouth. The audience that has to choose between the two films is dividing business and stopping Raees from reaching its true potential.
Even though Raees has got a much wider release, higher number of shows as well as screens that have higher seating capacity - there was demand for more tickets at select centres, especially during the late evening / night shows on Saturday.
Going forward, the key for Raees is going to be the family audience. The makers have realised this quite early that the families are not coming in enough numbers and maybe even choosing Kaabil instead, hence the promotional campaign has now shifted to ‘Raees with Family’ – a trend which SRK is going all out to promote.
For the first time in a very long time, the muslim section of the audience is coming out in very big numbers to watch the film. Raees has become a craze in muslim dominated areas, which also goes to show that this film was just about perfect for Eid. Even the Bakrid period was a better date and would’ve ensured much bigger collections. Too late, unfortunately.

@indicine
Thanks for your kind reply. Expecting another one…..
Percentage wise Raees is higher bcz other communities aren’t coming in huge numbers. Is it also on higher side in terms of footfalls???
@indicine you said kaabil gonna surprise on weekend, which surprise u r talking about or it was kind of promotion for kaabil
Now after seeing Kaabil’s collection, I am sure that Krrish 4 will be the first 500cr grosser because it will be produced by Rakeshji
The entire world knows the true nature of ugly Roshans. They’re worse than Ajay devgaan. Doing 3 cr manipulation every day and trying to fool the public by giving fake numbers. U can fool yourselves but not the public.
There is huge gap between Raees and kaabil in terms of collections.
Raees 5 extended weekend 95+ cr
Kaabil 5 extended weekend 52+ cr
But it’s the magic of Roshans calculator that they have showed kaabil’s 4 days collection as 52 cr……
U think we believe in figures ????
#must read command for all
Aaj morning main Doston Ke Sath #Raees movie dekhne gya film dekhte dekhte mujhe aise hi hansi aa rahi thi mera dost bola kya hua bro kyun hans raha hai.
Or mera answer sun ke uski to hnsi hi band nahi ho rahi thi….
#MyAnswer is……
Bhai jaan agar ye movie Eid Wale Din Sultan ke sath aa gayi hoti to is #Raees ke dhande pe sala #Eid wale din hi taala lag jata.
Raees has beaten kaabil on its opening day,weekend in both India and overseas and it shall beat kaabil in the long run too.
@indicine as everyone is saying tht kaabil has low screen count then why everyday every site is giving raees collections early nd kaabil collctions too late???? in fact every site shud give kaabil collctions early thn raees bcz it has less screen count so easy to track nd compile but oh yes everyone is waiting for papa roshan calculator including u ppl……plz indicine be an actual site not fake like roshans
@indicine you said kaabil gonna surprise on weekend, which surprise u r talking about as it collect only 10 cr on sat (trade no.) or it was kind of promotion for kaabil
@Rayaan
When they say ‘Muslim dominated areas’ it means more than 90% of the population in that area are Muslims…so its not much difficult to see in that sense…
@indicine, I’m afraid to say this you have lost your credibility and our trust.
I never suspected your sencerity and authenticity but after kaabil release u have proved me wrong.
Everyday Roshans inflate the figures shamelessly and knowingly feigning ignorance and thinking we can make fool of the people and the trade, and u start criticising Raees makers everyday on twitter by saying ” Kaabil is suffering because of having less shows and screens “…….
Please if u really intend to damage SRK’s image on TL and on ur site, then do not publishe a single article about SRK ever again…..
Bullshit indicine how do you know that Muslims came more in Raees than Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan or Kick!?? Did you tracked every theater and then ask audiences their religion ? What a fool you are making indicine! !!!! Muslims were most in Sultan followed by Bajrangi Bhaijaan

It will fail the Monday test …
Kaabil-3.5
Raees-2+1=3 (+1 only for srk n nawaz)..
Raees is better than HNY dilwale and fan but it certainly doesn’t have good WOM
Truth is that in the last 10 years srk never made a proper film which would entertain all section of audience except chennai express and so CE is the only proper Blockbuster in those years for him
Even if Raees had solo festival release, lifetime would have been a ‘Hit to Super hit’ affair of 240-260 but not a proper 300 cr Blockbuster
If you see in 2011,just like raees don 2 on xmas received good reviews and positivity from people who went to watch on opening days but it struggled to reach 100 cr and bodyguard which released in same year did 150 cr blockbuster business as it was entertaining and appealing to wided section of audience
SRK should work on his scripts rather than paying these critics coz good reviews never help a film if the film is not actually good enough
Raees doesn’t really have that blockbuster WOM Averting clash with sultan is the best thing srk has done since chennai express
Where is kaabil day 4 collection… and sunday update which is extraordinary.. running allmost full pan india..
Raees lifetime 160cr superhit
Dangal is all time disaster
Sultan HGOTY

I am happy but I am very sad Raabil team is maniuputed more then 2 cr each for everyday . which is very sad why they do this Indicien please answer
Raees had good collections on Saturday as it collected around 15.50 crore nett taling its four day total to a healthy 75 crore nett. The film jumped around 20% from the previous day which had seen a big fall as it came after the big national holiday. Sunday should see a jump although there is the cricket match which may affect the collections. Then it will be down to the crucial Monday and weekday business which will determine whether film can become a hit or not. Raees has beaten the competition of Kaabil as it leads by over 30 crore nett in just four days and that its near impossible for Kaabil to get that back but its still open to question whether Raees will sustain after the weekend. The first four day business of Raees is as follows.
Wednesday – 20,25,00,000
Thursday – 26,25,00,000
Friday – 13,00,00,000
Saturday – 15,50,00,000
TOTAL – 75,00,00,000 apprx….boi
Bakwas movie. Flop.
SURPASSING MY EXPWCTATION WITH 60 LAKHS..
TODAY PREDICTION 20CR..HOPE I FAIL AGAIN..
#NEW ERA STARTS..
JO GAYA USS BHOOL JAO JO HAI USPE CONCENTRATE KARO.. IF IT HAVE RELASES AT EID ETC ETC..
#ENJOY THE MOVIE
EVERY ONE KNOWS NOW THAT RAEES has crushed kaabil badly..now taklu uncle start to gear his most popular calculator to save paid respect from public but taklu uncle don’t know that he is already been disrespected by his most popular calculator in the public..
my question is from indicine
that critics support Kaabil
people support Raees
for movie what is important
critics or people plez answer this.
times of india kabil copy of
the 1989 movie Blind Fury and the 2014 Korean movie Broken
@indicine in the article u said ‘after a long time the Muslim audience is coming in big numbers.’
In the comment- ‘the percentage of Muslim audience is bigger than BB or sultan’
Don’t get confused @indicine! Decide man whether the number of Muslims are greater or it’s just the percentage?! If its really the percentage it means people of other ‘religions’ are not interested in it much!
3 days ago it was republic day of INDIA, plz act like u do believe in secularism, instead of categorising audience based on religion! They are Indians, not Muslims(full stop)
@indicine plz update overseas/worldwide collection you know we are curious to know abt it..plz post.
Raees lifetime collection will be 150+ cr which will give a clean hit status. Remember the movie was released during a dull period and clash with another potentially strong movie.
Extremely pleased with the way kaabil has been doing. What a comeback from Hrithik! got unanimous appreciation for his acting and now all set to overtake Raees on a day to day collection. I expect Sunday to be nearly equal for both films.
Support and love from people’s
towards Raees
make clear it clear that Raees long run
will continue.
proud on RAEES
@Javed
Just one question to you…what is HNY’s opening day collection? Answer this and then we will continue the manipulation debate…
