'Raees' Surpasses Rs 100-crore Mark In India

IANS, 01 Feb, 2017 11:13 AM
    Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's "Raees" has become 2017's first entry into the Rs 100-crore club in India, makers have said.
     
    "Raees" collected Rs 109.01 crore in India in seven days since its release on January 25 with Hrithik Roshan starrer "Kaabil".
     
    According to a statement issued on behalf of "Raees" makers, its overseas figures stand at $9.2 million, with some screens and territories yet to report. 
     
    After becoming the film to collect highest revenues on the Republic Day holiday, Raees also becomes SRK's 7th film to enter Rs 100-crore club. 
     
    "The latest reports also inform that the film has smashed the box office record in Singapore by collecting $226,000, which is touted to be the highest ever weekend for any Bollywood film in this market," the statement read.
     
    Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Excel Entertainment, the film features Shah Rukh as a bootlegger in a story set against the backdrop of liquor prohibition in Gujarat. 
     
    The Rahul Dholakia directorial, which also features Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, does not see Shah Rukh in his trademark romantic avatar, and yet it has struck a chord with his fans.
     
    VERY GOOD THAT 'KAABIL', 'RAEES' DOING WELL: RAKESH ROSHAN
     
     
    Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, who was earlier upset over the clash of his production "Kaabil" with Shah Rukh Khan starrer "Raees", now says he is happy that both movies are performing well in this cinema-loving nation.
     
    Humming an old popular Bollywood song, he expressed his happiness: "Very good for us that both the films are doing well. 'Saara zamaana, cinema ka deewana' (the entire world is crazy for cinema)."
     
    The senior Roshan spoke to the media on the sidelines of the Lokmat Style Awards on Tuesday night.
     
    "Kaabil", which features Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam in the lead, has registered collections of Rs 79.60 crore in seven days since its release, its makers have said.
     
    That makes Rakesh Roshan happy.
     
    "It is big happiness for all of us because we made the film with a lot of hard work and passion. The audience has given lots of love to the film and this gives us more happiness and energy to come up with more good films in future.
     
    "I feel the love we are receiving for 'Kaabil' is same as when I made 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hain'"
