I happened to watch both movies and found Raees more enjoyable. Kaabil had a lot of factual inaccuracies. For instance, Hrithik, who plays a blind man, was using the light of a candle. He wore an analog watch and fought as if he’d been trained in Mixed Martial Arts! I have a visually impaired friend, so found it insulting, especially the scene where he pointed toward something in the distance to his blind girlfriend. Did he really expect her to see!?

From what I hear, Filmkraft Productions as well as Red Chillies Entertainment is being accused of hiking their box office collections. But, it would be wrong for the general public to comment on alleged manipulation. The real question we need to ask ourselves is why box office collections define the success of a movie in an intensely creative field like cinema that showcases diverse storylines.
I think it’s unfair of SRK fans to bash Kaabil just because the releases clashed. The two movies couldn’t be more dissimilar! Kaabil is a romance-thriller whereas Raees belongs to the crime drama genre. This itself erodes the basis of the comparison.
