About Raees Movie:

Raees is a Hindi action film directed by Rahul Dholakia and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Excel Entertainment. It stars Shah Rukh Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Mahira Khan (in her only Hindi film acting credit).

Raees is said to be based on the criminal Abdul Latif’s life, however, the filmmakers have denied this claim.

The shooting of the film began in April 2015. The film has been shot in Mumbai, and sets were re-designed to depict Ahmedabad slums.

The last schedule of the film was shot in Gujarat in January 2016. Despite protests, the film was shot in Bhuj without disruptions between January and February 2016. There was a clearance issue by the Archaeological Survey of India for a shooting at Ahmedabad at the medieval mosque and tomb complex, Sarkhej Roza.

The film was released on 25 January 2017 during India’s Republic Day weekend. It received overall positive reviews from the critics, who appreciated the performances of Khan and Siddiqui, production design, cinematography and visual effects, and was a big success at the box office, becoming the 6th highest-grossing Hindi film of 2017.

Raees was also the most pirated Hindi film of 2017. The film’s soundtrack has also received over 160 crore (1.6 billion) streams on YouTube. The film received five nominations at the 63rd Filmfare Awards, including Best Actor for Khan.
