    • Trivia
      Following military tensions between Pakistan and India in 2016, various Pakistani artists were banned from working in India. There was similar pressure applied on the makers of Raees to replace Pakistani actress, Mahira Khan. The film's producer, Farhan Akhtar refused to do so and the female lead remained the same.
    • Goofs
      When Jairaj's hit man tries to kill Raees from rooftop Raees wasn't wearing his spectacles glasses. Without his glasses it should be impossible to spot the hit man and throw something to disarm the hit man.
    • Alternate versions
      In the UK, the film was first shown to the BBFC in an advice screening, with the intention of obtaining a '12A' rating. The BBFC stated that they would have to make edits to "a number of scenes of strong bloody violence", and the film was pre-cut prior to submission. However, the distributors had not edited the film enough in one scene, meaning that another 57 seconds were removed before achieving the desired '12A' certificate.

    Don't waste your time
    I did not want to watch this one but my friends fetch me there.

    They were very enthusiastic about this film but in last they end up felt cheated with the hype.

    Another meaningless flick from SRK.

    He did what he do best is to create hype without any substance.

    Another formula movie with an item number and some cheesy dialogues.

    I would say he is done and should concentrate doing other things rather than acting.

    And I was right I shouldn't have wasted my time.

    and neither should you.

    regards
