Raees (transl. Wealthy) is a 2017 Indian Hindi-language action film[6] directed by Rahul Dholakia and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Excel Entertainment.[7] It stars Shah Rukh Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Mahira Khan (in her only Hindi film acting credit).[8][9][10] Raees is said to be based on the criminal Abdul Latif's life,[11] however, the filmmakers have denied this claim.[12][13]
The film was released on 25 January 2017 during India's Republic Day weekend.[1] 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,[14] becoming the 6th highest-grossing Hindi film of 2017. Raees was also the most pirated Hindi film of 2017.[15] The film's soundtrack has also received over 160 crore (1.6 billion) streams on YouTube.[16] The film received five nominations at the 63rd Filmfare Awards, including Best Actor for Khan.[17]
The film begins in the 1960s (evident from a newspaper).
Raees, a sharp-minded boy, lives in Fatehpur, Gujarat, a dry state, and gets involved in the illegal liquor trade at a young age. He uses his mother's philosophy: no occupation is low and no religion greater than any occupation as a mechanism of self-deception. Along with his best friend, Sadiq, he starts working for a local gangster, Jairaj — who prefers Raees as he comes up with novel ideas for smuggling. As his power and influence grow, he decides to part ways with Jairaj and takes the help of a crime boss, Musabhai, to start his own business. He gains immense popularity in his community: he provides them liquor, employs them for receiving and delivering orders, and thus enjoys political support from both the Chief Minister and Pashabhai, the leader of the opposition.
Meanwhile, an honest and powerful police officer, ACP J. A. Majmudar, is transferred to Fatehpur and starts a major crackdown on alcohol dealers, focusing on Raees. This affects most of the dealers except him as he manages to smuggle past Majmudar, leading to hostile relations and a failed assassination attempt by Jairaj. Raees subsequently kills Jairaj in retaliation. In the meantime, Raees marries his neighbour Aasiya and has a son with her.
