Shah Rukh Khan reigned supreme at the box office on Wednesday, proving once again that he is one of the biggest crowd-pullers the industry has ever seen. The competition was pretty much decimated right from the morning shows on Wednesday, with Raees selling more than double the number of tickets as compared to Kaabil.
The film has collected Rs 20.43 crore on Wednesday, becoming the first film of 2017 to cross the 20 crore mark on a single day. It has also become the highest grosser of the year in just one day, even though only ‘Ok Jaanu’ has released so far this year.
A 20 crore plus total is a solid base for Raees to grow on Thursday (holiday for Republic Day). As per estimates from the morning shows today, the business of Raees has shown growth of around 15-20% compared to the morning shows yesterday – which is excellent because the film was already running at very high levels on Wednesday morning. But what remains to be seen is what kind of impact the cricket match has on business in the evening.
Muslim-dominated areas have performed phenomenally well for Raees, with the business comparable to Post-Eid releases at places. Shah Rukh Khan is the king of the West Bengal circuit, so it came as no surprise when business was in a different league altogether for Raees. South was extraordinary too, the gap between the two films was expected to be closer here, but Raees was leading by a fairly huge margin (1.96 times average) throughout the day.
The first day business is at around the same level as SRK’s 2015 Christmas release ‘Dilwale’, so we will be closely following the trend of the two films to see if Raees can surpass the lifetime business of the Rohit Shetty directed film.
Raees all the way
Intermission of Raees… Half Film is good….
RAEES boss
it unbelieable but true the report coming from advacne booking Raees exceded the expectations and will touch 30cr for 2nd day…
hey srkian cheerup..
Congrats to all my SRKIANs….XZONE,SSS,JAVED,TASHIR,IMTIYAZ,CHAIN SMOKER,ROMANCE ZINDAGI, KAALI,etc…cheer up
I never complained about you Indicine but I really find you’re biased this time. Nothing about WOM ? Nothing mentionning that Kaabil reviews were actually not extraordinary but simply good ? Nothing about the fact that Raees is putting up gigantic numbers for a working day and during a clash ??
So boring movie raees
flop actor sharukh khan
flop movie raees
80cr only because of nawaz s and sunny leone hahahahah
without 5 actors and 6 actors

Happy New year 6 actors 200cr

Raees 1st day trade figure: 21 cr
Raees 1st day producer figure: 20.5 cr
No manipulation.
Kaabil 1st day trade figure: 7.5 cr
Kaabil 1st day producer (Jadoo calculator) figure: 10.5 cr
Manipulation: 3 cr
Beware Raees….the baap of manipulation has arrived with a bang
#ApnaTimeShuru
Meanwhile bhabhijaan fane are really happy and relieved that clashed with raees didnt happen otherwise sultan ki lagg jati !!
RAEES ‘S PRODUCER AND BOI FIGURE—-20.43CR
kaabil’s BOI figure—-7.5cr,producer figure—-10cr.
Now people will definitely would have understood the magic of “jadoo calculator’s magic begun
@Indicine you are mentioning time and time again that Kaabil is carrying very positive wom so it will show good growth..
But you have nowhere mentioned about the wom of Raees, which is also carrying a very positive public wom..
Why are you trying to convince the readers to watch Kaabil instead of Raees? Yes Kaabil got better critics ratings as compared to Raees. But the public wom is extremeply positive for Raees. Please do mention about this in your article as well.
Watched Raees.. Outstanding movie.. SRK nailed his performance… Full paisa vasool entertainer.. Planning to watch it again on Sunday
Raaes Will Cross 150CR ..
Raees wom is better than kaabils wom !!
@TIGER- the real king
abe lallu salman film came on eid
dont fit over raaes and kaabil
raees bhot hi achi movie h no negative wom h
only negative log bura bol rahe h
kaabil ka pata ni per raaes must watch h
bina dekhe koi negative mat bolo
Watched Raess…..pretty average movie
Honestly kuch naya nhn hai…..
Jahan AAMIR AUR SALMAN…classic movies de rahy hien…wahan SRK bahut average films de raha hai….
Ye to SRKian ko bhi pata hai ky movie mien kuch nhn…phir bhi….apni duty to karni hai
@indicine.. What ur lifetime bo prediction for Raees and kaabil..
It will definitely give us a clearer picture about where these movies are going..
king ???
If SALMAN film releases he will automatically pull crowd on his own that too till 2nd weekend,but SRK fails bcoz in Hyderabad I didn’t seen any crowds around theatres tickets r easily available..SRK is much smaller than Salman I think so..Now I think SRk is lagging behind our Pawan Kalyan N mahesh Babu also..
Top 5 mass heroes in the country at present………..
SALMAN
RAJNIKANTH
PAWAN KALYAN
AJITH
MAHESH BABU
SRK
Mass means SALMAN ,
SALMAN means mass understand don’t compare SALMAN with srk, bcoz SALMAN is a mass hysteria, India will not see another Salman mass hysteria ever.. Understand… u better understand
the first 5 mts decide the fate of the film for me.. the film is genuinely bad and will ultimately lose after bad wom
Raees is going for 25 crore plus today. Which is huge. Raees a gya aur cha gya.
Average direction with poor Story , Mahira khan worst heroine ever opposite of SRK.
after weekend Raees will fall down
Lol, salman fans again prove that they are mindless crap, some tiger idiot comparing combined non holiday collection of raees and kabil with their overrated sultan’s sunday boxoffice…welldone idiots…
Kabil ka collection manipulate nhi hua h.. Usme tamil n telgu version ka collection v add hua h..
Only hindi version ka collection 8.5 cr hai.
To all “srkians” fuming across with rage with kaabil having seemingly crossed only 7 something crore, I have to ask you to verify your facts first. BOI is a website which consistently posts it’s “estimates” not the actual figures way early into the day. They then almost never correct upon their “estimates” and leave it there and then.
Kaabil made most of its earnings from the evening and night shows and mid way between the two, boi had posted it’s article about kaabil’s collection! How is that possible!?
And think about it logically, if k3 had manipulations north of 50 crore then filmkraft would’ve paid comparitively more taxes! Why would any sane man do such a ludicrous thing!??
Please use some brains and remove trust on websites who claim to be authentic with no actual proof to verify their sources. They have been underreporting all movies since time immemorial. Dangal is also 20-30 crore lesser in their lifetime totals as they didn’t take into account the regional collections!?
So relax and enjoy the success of both movies at their respectable levels instead of hating upon the other one.
PS: It’s also kinda stupid of people to quote collections of one website onto another. Indicine is a reputable site and if they are posting some figures, they of course would’ve verified it from all their sources. It’s like going to a 5 star hotel and saying to the chefs that thele ka khaana is tastier. If you feel that then don’t come to this hotel and stick to thela. Simple.
GUY NAMEE ULTRON SALMANIAC… IS JUST A BURNOL HERE…
HE JUST CANT DIGEST THE COLLECTIONS OF RAEES..
BECHARA BEHKI BEHKI BAATE KARRA HAI..
WITHOUT PROMOTION COMBINE COLLECTION BLAH BLAH..
BHAI JAA SOO JA.. JAB TUBELIGHT JALEGI TAB UTH JANA
Raees is an awesome movie and why Srk is the King of Bollywood.
