Raees, the SRK and Mahira Khan starrer is continuing its successful run at the Box Office. It is but obvious that since it is a Shah Rukh Khan movie, it will definitely break some records. Whenever, an Aamir Khan, Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan flick hits the screens, few records are bound to be broken. Something similar happened with Raees too; in the first 5 days itself, it broke few records. After a big movie like “Dangal”, people had huge expectations from Raees.
