Raees is a 2017 Indian crime drama film directed by Rahul Dholakia and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Excel Entertainment. The movie stars Shah Rukh Khan in the titular role, alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Mahira Khan.
Plot Summary: Set in Gujarat during the 1980s, Raees follows the rise of Raees Alam, a bootlegger who builds a liquor empire in a state where alcohol is prohibited. Starting from a poor background, Raees grows to become a powerful and ruthless figure in the illegal liquor trade, always justifying his actions with the belief that no business is small and no religion is greater than work. However, he runs into opposition from a tough and determined police officer, Majmudar (played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui), who is hell-bent on bringing him down.
The film touches on themes of morality, power, and the consequences of illegal trade. Raees's journey also involves his relationships with people from his past, including his love interest Aasiya (played by Mahira Khan) and his loyal friends.
The movie is noted for its action, intense performances, and engaging storyline. The character of Raees is a complex anti-hero, and the film examines the fine line between good and evil in the world of crime. The film also features popular songs, such as "Laila Main Laila" and "Zaalima."
Though Raees was a commercial success, it generated some controversy for its portrayal of certain real-life events and figures from Gujarat’s history, although the filmmakers clarified it was a work of fiction.
