SRK starrer ''Raees'' always looked too big for Hrithik starrer ''Kaabil''. Both films clashed and much was said about this clash. But it turned out to be one sided affair.
''Raees' started well with 55% in opening and it consolidated later with 65% occupancy. Film was outstanding in West Bengal, Mumbai and Gujarat. Film collected 20.42 cr nett on opening day which is huge for non holiday and that too in clash.
''Kaabil' opened to 20% occupancy and remained around 30% mark throughout the day. Film collected 10.43 cr nett including Tamil & Telugu which was half of ''Raees'' with 40% of screens.
Both the film collected similar numbers what we predicted in afternoon. As per todays trends, 'Raees' should cross 26 cr nett today with national holiday advantage and ''Kaabil'' should scire around 16-17 cr nett.
