Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted about the film’s business.

Shahrukh Khan’s Raees is witnessing an exceptional run at the ticket windows.

Raees is competing with the Hrithik Roshan-starrer Kaabil in what is being termed as a clash of the titans. On the first day, Kaabil earned about half of what Raees did. Taran tweeted, “#Kaabil Wed 10.43 cr, Thu 18.67 cr, Fri 9.77 cr. Total: ₹ 38.87 cr. India biz... Biz should witness growth on Sat and Sun.”

Raees has not only set domestic ticket windows abuzz, it has put up an impressive run worldwide as well. Giving insights into Overseas collections, Adarsh tweeted, “Raees takes UAE-GCC BO by storm... Collects $ 1.4 million [9.53 cr] on Wed and Thu. AWESOME!”

Shah Rukh Khan’s gangster drama raked $347,000 on 247 screens on Wednesday in the US and continues to trend in the important Gulf states too with estimates saying Raees stood at $500,000. While it enjoyed a solid lead in the UK with $158,000, it minted $268,000 over a two-day run in Australia.

It is important, however, to note the screen division between the two films that hit theatres Wednesday.

Kaabil is the love story of a blind couple, played by Hrithik and Yami Gautam. The film is directed by Sanjay Gupta.
