Set against the backdrop of prohibition in Gujarat, 'Raees' touches upon how the alcohol industry crumbled and several illegal activities followed. 
In the film, the 'Chennai Express' star essays the title role of Raees, a bootlegger. 
According to Adarsh, business for 'Kaabil' should escalate on Thursday -- a national holiday -- too.
Another trade expert, Komal Nahta, had on Wednesday said that 'Kaabil' started slow because of 'Raees' in opposition. However, he expressed confidence that the film will witness an increase in its numbers due to strong word of mouth. The film industry and critics have given a thumbs up to 'Kaabil' for its unique storyline.
