Shah Rukh Khan starrer Raees released last wednesday. Directed by Rahul Dholakia and jointly produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, and Gauri Khan, the action-crime thriller ​had stiff competition from Mohanlal starrer Munthirivallikal Thalirkumbol and Duqluer Salmaan's Jomonte Suvisheshangal at the Kerala Box Office.

However, the SRK starrer had a good occupancy through out the opening weekend in Kerala, especially at the Cochin multiplexes. From it's 5-day long weekend, Raees has crossed Rs. 40 lakh mark from the multiplexes of Cochin.

​In Kerala, ​the opening shows of the new Bollywood releases normally starts from 10:00 am onwards, but in the case of the SRK-starrer, the opening shows ​we​re ​started from morning 7:30 am​. At several places, including the cinemas across Trivandrum, ​many special shows ​we​re scheduled to start from 7:30 am, thanks to SRK's stardom​.
