Unfortunately, he is struck with tragedy that drives him to take revenge on the people responsible.The film is directed by Sanjay Gupta, written by Vijay Kumar Mishra, produced by Rakesh Roshan under his banner FilmKraft Productions.
The story of Raees is set in 1980s and is about a man who rose to become the single most powerful person in the state. The movie stars Shah Rukh Khan and Mahira Khan. The film is directed by Rahul Dholakia and produced by Gauri Khan, Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under their banners Red Chillies Entertainment and Excel Entertainment.
Twitter has already given its verdict regarding the two films.

Gentleman critic @taran_adarsh has given 4* to #Kaabil why? Because it’s a fantastic emotional film with beautiful music and deserves 4*.

The only saving grace about #RAEES was Salman Khan’s cameo towards the end.
