The Rahul Dholakia-directorial features Shah Rukh in a bad boy kind of role. He plays a bootlegger in Gujarat named Raees Khan aka Miyanbhai. Pakistani actress Mahira Khan plays his love interest and Nawazuddin Siddiqui is the tough cop in Raees.

Though Raees is clashing with Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil at the box office today, both the films have received good reviews. Critics have praised both the movies. The audience is, however, impressed with King Khan for his performance in Raees.

Let's take a look at what Bollywood celebrities have to say about Shah Rukh's much awaited movie, Raees:
