Raees Box Office Collection / Raees Total Box Office Collection : Raees, who became the first film to enter the club crore Rs 100 in 2017, broke the January jinx and how! At the evening of the film's success, an exalted Shah Rukh Khan said the film had already performed better than he had expected. On the other hand, Habila Roshan and Kaami Yami Gautam began with smaller screens, but gave Raees stiff competition. While Raees made around Rs 7 crore on day 8, Kaabil raked in Rs 5.70 crore, according to early estimates.
The gangster film Shah Rukh Khan, which marked the debut of Bollywood by Pakistani actor Mahira Khan, took the lead in the overseas market, although Kaabil will see a solo release in Pakistan (the first Bollywood to be released since the ban of Indian films was lifted), which could be a major contributor to its overseas revenue. Shah Rukh Khan, who plays the bass-turned-deputy Raees Alam in the film, said it was unfair to compare his film with the latest releases from other Khans, Salman and Aamir. He added that Dangal and Sultan were perhaps more successful than Raees could be, and said he was glad that his film was well received.
Meanwhile, Hrithik Roshan is also pleased with the performance of his film, which was his fourth largest opener at the box office. Given that his last film, Mohenjo Daro, did not feel so well faced with a confrontation (he had faced the Rustom of Akshay Kumar), the actor is pleased with Kaabil.
