kaabil vs raees box office collection
Before presenting you with Kaabil vs Raees box office collection, let’s have a close look at how both the films performed at the box office in the recent past.
Since last week, the audience has witnessed a neck-to-neck competition between the two films. In fact, it represented one of the biggest clashes in 2017. Both Kaabil and Raees released on January 25, 2017 and became successful creating magic at the box office. Both are big budget films and expected to perform well at the box office. For example ShahRukh Khan’s Raees was expected to do a business of Rs. 300 Crores or at least perform better than his last film.
In the same ways, Hrithik Roshan’s film was also expected to be steady in the race. The films are still getting the love from the audience due to a number of factors, including strong story line, star power along with individual performances.
More facts on kaabil vs raees box office collection
Now, the clash between the two films are about to come to a halt. On one hand, SRK’s film collected a gross income of almost Rs. 277 Crore, Hrithik’s Kaabil managed to collect more than Rs. 200 Crore worldwide. Well, we must say one thing at least. In spite of having a strong star cast with a human centric plot, Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil could not leave behind the phandom of ShahRukh Khan’s Raees (in terms of box office numbers).
kaabil vs raees box office collection- Both films got public’s positive response
Actually, Raees was fortunate to get a marvelous launch pad which was missing in case of its box office rival. Well, Rahul Dholakia’s creation starring ShahRukh as a bootlegger was fortunate to start its box office journey at a sprint with almost 80% occupancy on the silver screen. However, Kaabil got a much slower start (as expected) with as low as 40% screenings. Raees released on more than 2700 screens, kaabil got only 2200 screens initially. But later, the film got additional 200 screens in the second phase (week).
Again, there are certain things that clicked in Hrithik Roshan’s favor like his film’s release in Pakistan. On the other hand, SRK’s Raees was banned for the reason of negative portrayal of the Muslim community. Till now, ‘Kaabil’ has managed to mint almost Rs. 210 Crores (gross), with a business of almost Rs. 126 Crores (net) in the domestic market alone.
Kaabil’s earning in Pakistan is around Rs. 2.50 Crores in just five days after its release. On the other hand, Raees is slowly inching towards a 300 Crore mark (worldwide gross) by earning net Rs. 139.21 Crores in the domestic market.
Now, after the release of Akshay Kumar’s Jolly LLB 2, the jinx of both the films are likely to get a break up. The film is a courtroom drama, releasing today. ( Feb 10).
