Raees had a big drop in collections in the second weekend and even if we take the Fri - Sun period last week which was not exactly its first weekend the drop is nearly 75%. The collections in the second weekend are 11.75 crore nett which takes the business to 121.50 crore nett.  The second weekend collections are not much better than Dear Zindagi which was a little short of 10 crore nett.

The difference between Raees and Kaabil is the initial and it is that which makes the film safe. The big numbers it took over the first five days has pulled it through and this was what Kaabil was not able to do. On Sunday Raees had lower collections than Kaabil for the first time. The business of Raees till date is as follows.

First Week - 1,10,05,00,000 (nine days)

Friday - 2,75,00,000 

Saturday - 4,00,00,000

Sunday - 4,75,00,000

Second Weekend - 11,50,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 1,21,55,00,000 apprx

It is circuits like Mumbai, Nizam / Andhra, Mysore, Tamil Nadu / Kerala and West Bengal which have aided the film and although these are down in the second weekend they outperformed the rest of India in the initial staged due to the presence of Shahrukh Khan. North India under performed from day one and its the multiplex business in these parts which is biggest disappointment.
